The Morningside Russia

"This album is available... as a free download at the band's website! So I gave it a try...

Not bad... a mix of post metal with long atmospheric instrumental parts and doom/death metal in the vein of early Katatonia (first album, or Brave Murder Day). I really enjoyed the music... but the vocals are really not my taste. The growled/screamed vocals on tracks #2 and #3 are horrible (the usual bad gurgling), and the clean vocals on track #4 lack emotion. Still a nice release..."
