MISTEYES – Creeping Time
Maple
Metal Records
MISTEYES
is an Italian band that has been active approximately four years and during
this period they’ve managed to make quite a few changes, the most important of
which is the shifting of their musical direction. By acquiring a female singer
and adding and enhancing the role of the keyboards they’ve turned towards a
more symphonic gothic sound rather than their earlier melodic death/black metal
approach. So in 2016 they felt ready to unleash their debut full length titled
“Creeping Time” that clocks in over an hour and contains twelve original
compositions.
Like
I mentioned earlier their sound can be easily categorized as symphonic
gothic/death metal or as the band eloquently describe as “light and dark
metal”… this is pretty accurate although a bit vague since it contains the
essence of MISTEYES’ music. The female operatic vocals along with the keyboards
and the dark atmosphere create the gothic aesthetics and the more symphonic
approach, whereas the heavy rhythms delivered by the guitars and drums combined
with the death metal growls deliver and underline the melodic death metal side
of the music. Another advantage that is intimately linked to the variety this
album has is the fact that each song consists of all those elements with one
leading the way and then leaving space to the rest to evolve and show their
beauty. To put it simply this is an album that flows, an album with an
excellent production and many famous guest appearances like those of Björn
"Speed" Strid from SOILWORK, Nicole Ansperger from ELUVEITIE, Roberto
Pasolini from EMBRYO and Mattia Casabona from ASPASIA.”Creeping Time” is an
album that the fans of symphonic gothic/death metal will definitely find
appealing and enchanting.
