MY
BLACK LIGHT - Human Maze
Massacre Records
Several years ago, EVANESCENCE achieved widespread
success with an album featuring multiple variations of the same core
composition. While some might view this as repetitive or lacking innovation, it
is undeniable that EVANESCENCE's approach has influenced many bands globally.
Among these, MY BLACK LIGHT, an Italian band, can be seen as part of this wave
of groups drawing inspiration from that style.
MY BLACK LIGHT attempts to blend gothic metal
aesthetics—characterized by the vocal style of lead singer Monica Primo—with
elements from modern and nu metal genres. The band exhibits a broader musical
palette than EVANESCENCE, incorporating moments of speed and thrash influences,
notably in tracks like “Noise for Sale,” which bears some resemblance to the
work of bands like NEVERMORE.
However, their overall sound aligns with the
contemporary gothic metal scene, often emphasizing a more accessible,
"friendly" approach to heavy metal. This perspective strives to make
the genre appealing to a wider audience, which may contrast with the
traditional view of heavy metal as a revolutionary and artistic form of
expression.
Listeners seeking intense, dark, or uncompromising
metal might find MY BLACK LIGHT’s output somewhat polished and
mainstream-oriented. That said, the band demonstrates a willingness to explore
different facets of their sound, adding variety beyond the typical formula.
In conclusion, MY BLACK LIGHT offers a modern take on
gothic metal with some moments of energetic and thrash-influenced sections.
Prospective listeners are encouraged to explore their music firsthand to
determine if it aligns with their personal taste and expectations of the genre.
