DARK SANCTUARY „Les Mémoires Blessées”

Music: Gothic/Doom Metal
Website: http://www.dark-sanctuary.com/
Country: France
Duration: 73:28 (13 songs)

The feeling is “The depressive silence”….may be “The Darkness pain”, I don’t know may be “Wounded Memories/ Les Mémoires Blessées” and this is the name of this album. It’s French I know. I’m not saying I’m amazing in French but I know a bit coz I took it at school…but that was 5 years ago sadly. Actually what you need here is not your awareness of French, I guess this band manage to maintain this equation. Singing with their own mother language, and yet get fans and listeners to them. I use to hear from other bands whom I know, that you have to sing and write in English so you can get fans and get people who can understand what you are saying, also to make your band internationally known, but not with this band.

Dame Pandora got the most amazing voice I have ever heard. So angelic, so soft, and she got an amazing control on her voice. I guess the piano/keyboard is one of the reasons that she is talented and so startling. The piano is more than a passionate.

One thing you will notice about this band, that they are not using drums a lot, only the vocals, violin, keys and the piano…may be acoustic guitar, that mostly played every song, Which I consider something very depressive and dark, yet excellent.

I guess this band is one of the most amazing doom/gothic bands out there, and I really wish them the best, with all these talents and gifts.
