Garden of Delight
Radiant Sons | Rediscovered
Garden of Delight continues with the
Rediscovered series; this time “Radiant Sons” emerges again with
renewed energy, because it has been rebuilt by the same creative
mind. This is both classic and freshly renewed at the same time. In
the original release from 2000, we can appreciate to a consolidated
Garden Of Delight: Their musical style was developed in quite a
remarkable way; showing maturity, and an undeniable high standard in
their Occvlt Gothic Rock style, which is executed with mystical
spirit, passion, stunning guitar work, vocal power, and a strong
rhythm section. All of this was provided by Artaud Seth, Mike York,and Tom O'Connell, and the result is a pretty consistent and remarkable
album. “Radiant Sons” is back 13 years after the original
release, and this is the way to write a new story through this
classic album. “Chaos AD” is mid-paced, powerful, and pretty
melodic, especially in the chorus. The bass lines are quite big and
rhythmic, the guitar work is very fine, and the voice has passion and
expressive power. “Agony” is very impressive with the acoustic
sound, the female voice in the chorus, and the sublime keyboard
sound; they have constructed a definitive classic song of the finest
Goth Rock. “Obsessed” is pretty relaxing; it has dominant
acoustic guitar sound, which is pretty adequate for the reflexive and
passionate mood of the song. “Shariah” is highly refined Gothic
Rock; the gates of perception are opened through this Occvlt music,
with the distinctive touch of Garden of Delight. “Crucified” has
dynamic rhythm, mesmerizing harmonies, and passion; this track was
beautifully constructed. “Astral Traveler” honors to its name, is
an immersive, trance-inducing experience; with the unmistakable
atmosphere of G.O.D. “Twilight” is tied with “Last Day On
Earth” another astral travelling-inducing song, the mood here is
pretty introspective and intimate. The band tend to close their
albums with this kind of songs; and this is quite right because they
always bring those well balanced albums, like this one. “Radiant
Sons” is back, and it’s strong and renewed; a must have for the
fans of G.O.D., and for everyone who loves the true Occvlt Gothic
Rock. Don’t miss it!
