Their future sounds uncertain after listening to “Antiadore”, their tenth studio album. Their gothic flair of sullen hard-driving riffs accompanied by light melodies, is still here but I feel that this record sees them going through the motions and actually offering a big nothing to their fans.
Apart on the album’s opener “My Release In Pain” where harsh vocals reappear- almost as a throwback to the band’s death metal growls of yesterdays, there’s nothing in here to introduce any form of difference or evolution.
Unfortunately and quite sadly, I have to say that HIM and The 69 Eyes are so present in their sound, that it makes me hear and swallow these sounds with ultra-puke gestures! Nevertheless, fans of those acts should find them satisfying (but not myself)..
“Antiadore” sounds very much like a band about to give up! Not my cup of tea. Strictly for HIM lovers…
