Suicidal Romance - Memories Behind Closed Curtains

2012-05-09 / Consolatrix / Reads: 2225

Suicidal Romance was one of those bands which did not use to be treated seriously. Enjoyable melodies, pretty good electronic arrangements and soft female vocal – all of this in the shadow of charismatic leader, who has made his private problems pivotal for band’s work. After releasing their debut album...

SIN DNA - Afterlife

2012-05-04 / Serge / Reads: 2975

It is not an album from the-best-ones category I have listened to so far. I think it’s also hard to classify it as a good one. It doesn’t mean that it is bad and poor. I think calling it average would be most appropriate. But let’s start from the beginning....
