great review

[grumpy]

friend of my plays in a band and they launched their first album

EVIL'S DESIRE..'INITIUM'

Evil?s Desire is a Dutch Symphonic/Gothic Metal Band, founded in 2005 by the members of the Dutch heavy metal band Violent Queen. Fronted by Daphne Gobius du Sart with male vox by Eric Mol, the band offer up a technically accomplished mix of Gothic Metal Music with a Progressive undercurrent apparent on some tracks. The rather haunting 'Intro' gets things underway, leading us straight into 'Red Death', and what is apparent straight away on this track is Daphne's awesome operatic vocal style, coupled with great keys (compliments Johan Seinen). 'Mountain of Fate' is another awesome track offering superb musicanship throughout coupled with those great vocals of Daphne. 'True Lies' leans slightly towards a Progressive Power Metal style, with a rather cool laid back interlude mid way through. I am liking what I hear. I must say that for an unsigned band, Evil's Desire sound very professional and accomplished in what they do.

A first album is usually more unique than a band's later works.
