MANSION OF SOUL DRAIN, THE „“In Memoriam” ”

Music: Gothic/Doom Metal
Website: http://www.themansionofsouldrain.com
Country: Sweden
Cool songs: Meta Menardi

The band was formed in 2002 in a small town in Sweden, by Jeanne and Marco. In 2003 two additional musicians joined the band and the whole bunch started working on full-length material, which was brought to daylight in 2005 – ‘In Memoriam’.

I nearly fell asleep while listening to this album. The beginning. All by itself, can put into a coma: lazy riffs, average vocal lines, pure boredom. ‘Meta Menardi’ can really wake up from this slender, but only for a short period of time, because the rest puts into it again. This composition sounds quite funny, maybe because of those silly drums fills. It is quite varied, speeds up and develops into an F1 car to immediately slow down and welcome the good night sleep. And as I stated earlier, you should better stay asleep, because the rest is very tiring, plus that horrible sound – as if the album was recorded in 1×1 cellar.

I think that there are at least millions of better ways of wasting time and money, than buying this album. TV, radio or even fast foods offer better entertainment than this band. Quite uninteresting and not demanding proposition.
