A Dream of Poe are a band from Portugal that has been featured before in this zine and plays a gothic form of doom metal and this is a review of their 2015 album "An Infinity Emerged" which was released by Solitude Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some drum beats and melodic singing a few seconds later which also leads up to a heavier doom metal direction that also mixes in a great amount of depressive melodies and female vocals can also be heard at times and all of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them and the solos and leads also remain true to a melodic style of doom metal and the whole album sticks to very slow musical direction bringing in some of the heaviness of early 90's doom/death metal without ever mixing in growls and screams.
A Dream Of Poe continue the gothic doom metal sound of previous recordings bringing in a more melodic approach to this genre and proving you can still be heavy with normal vocals, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the writings of E.A Poe and poetic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from A Dream Of Poe and if you are a fan of gothic/doom metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lethargus" and "Macula". 8 out of 10.
