Into The Mist
This is a highly talented band from Italy, and
they are doing some really dark Gothic Rock. Their music is dark,
solemn, and has a sheer elegance due to the sophisticated musical
structures created by these musicians. As you know, the underground
scene from Italy is amazing with those talented artists and Into The
Mist, is another great addition in the Italian dark landscape of
Gothic Rock, Post Punk, etc.
With influence of bands such as: Fields Of The
Nephilim, Sisters Of Mercy, The Mission, Love Like Blood, Nosferatu or Joy Division; these experienced musicians have created this
fascinating, atmospheric, and exquisite Gothic Rock. They have been
doing music since the 80’s, and the result is this release which
has great quality; and they are keeping alive the flame of the finest
traditional Gothic Rock, in such a great way. “Candle Light Vigil” has a sumptuous intro
based on keyboards; it will make you think in ancient times, or maybe
in the Vampiric paraphernalia of the 90’s. It vanishes and gives
place to some deep and clear bass lines, the drumming is pretty
adequate to the phase of the song, it has these lavish guitar and
keyboards in harmony, and the powerful voice. This track is really
tasteful and has a wonderful smooth melody. With this song they make
clear how high their standard is. “Her Crown Of Thorns” has
pretty fine guitar work, and this guitar sound gives aplomb and
dynamism to the song. This track is mid-tempo, but pretty solid and
has great passion. “Mislelia (the Path To The Mist)” is melodic
and so captivating; it begins with the sounds of synths, and those
martial drums, the voice enter and it creates an elevating mood, and
sometime later everything becomes an explosion of great Gothic-Post
Punk sound. Awesome track! The following song: “Soldiers From The
White Side” is a perfect balance between Gothic Rock and 80’s
Dark Wave; pretty refined sound here. “Will You Shine In My
Darkness” has romance and deep atmosphere. This track is some of
the best Dark wave. “Devil My Angel” is definitive Gothic
elegance, Nuff Said!!. And finally “Glass Eyed Shadows” is total
atmosphere and introspection.
I’m really surprised and glad with this
stunning and promising debut from Into The Mist. Don’t miss this
piece of high quality Gothic Rock.
