Surprises 2009: Damned Spirit's Dance

Band: Damned Spirit's Dance
Album: Weird Constellations (first album)
Genre: Experimental Progressive Metal
Country: Hungary

Damned Spirits’ Dance came to life at the beginning of 2002, but it was not until 2004 when they recorded their first material: ’Hide from Daylight DEMO’. The first full-length album "Weird Constellations" was finally recorded in the end of 2007, mixed in 2008 and finally released in 2009.
Listening to Damned Spirit's Dance is a total experience. You won't be able to define which style or what reminiscences you are listening to. Their music is rich, experimental, and takes influences from many genres. The result is a varied album of a kind of proggresive black metal, cosmic atmospheres, epic moments, electronica, catchy rythms, alternative metal, females voices (on "the Angel and the Dark River")... and they even dare with dance music combined with the strenght and speed of black metal in "Fake"!!! Could be a mess if the proper minds weren't behind all that, but the team of DSD get total success from mixin all these elements.
My favourite surprise of 2009, and a band to follow. If you like experimental metal in a darker way, get this album! I already did it!
