Gothic Metal – Metal Eclipse Reviews

Green Carnation – A Dark Poem Part III: The Messiah Complex

Metalcatto

I love how we went from not hearing anything from Green Carnation in more than a decade to getting two albums in one year. The Metalsphere can be really unpredictable. We already reviewed Part I and Part II, and though I wasn’t as blown away as many other reviewers, I’m still excited to review A Dark Poem Part III: The Messiah Complex. Is this going to be the epic next step in the trilogy, or am I going to fall asleep? Whatever happens, this can’t top Light of Day, Day of Darkness, right?

Let’s start!

Angellore – Nocturnes

Metalcatto

I see the album has five tracks and almost nothing below the five-minute mark. I started sweating, because when a band is this into length, there are only two ways to go: a blast or a bust. Angellore‘s Nocturnes has no easy task to fulfill. It’s going to be hard to make the time count, but that’s why you’re here—to see if you can find that hidden gem, right?

Lord Of The Lost – Opvs Noir Vol. 2

Vicky

There are times when I’m starting to feel as if I were a dad wearing an AC/DC T-shirt and wondering why the kids nowadays are big fans of Sleep Token. It’s stupid, I know, but Lord Of The Lost (LOTL, not LOTR, that is) brought that feeling back. Second listen in, and I’m still pretty unsure as to why this band is so popular. Basically, we are dealing with a band that somehow managed to pick up the strangest elements from Mono Inc., Lacrimosa, Deine Lakaien, and Depeche Mode. Blending those with some Electronic-infused Dark/Goth Rock, you get LOTL.

Lost in the Riffstorm 2025: Part 2

Metalcatto

We keep trying to catch up in the little time we have left. This time, I bring more hostile stuff, because I believe this wasn’t the strongest year in terms of pointless brutality (sad!), but that doesn’t mean we weren’t going to find some gems laying around. Which is why we’re going to talk about some good old aggressive Metal now and more!

Every now and then, mistakes are made… by the interns, of course — never by me! Isn’t that their job? To take the hit for the brand? Anyway, there have been a few EPs and albums I simply didn’t have time to cover properly, or by the time I got to them, it was already too late. So here’s my attempt at redemption!

Hi there! A bit less madness this week, but still enough to make the normal mind insane. Let’s go!

Lord of the Lost – OPVS NOIR Vol 1.

Metalcatto

Well, here we go again. We’ve actually got another band that was in Eurovision. Lord of the Lost is a kind of Gothic Metal act that caters to the edgy kids who never quite moved past harsh vocals in their Metal journey. So, you might be wondering—am I just covering Opus Noir Vol. 1 to vent my deeply rooted intolerance for the mainstream world? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean I won’t try to be fair.
