Darkwell are a band from Austria that plays a mixture of goth and doom metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Moloch" which was released by Massacre Records.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album along with some symphonic keyboards and the solos and leads also use a great amount of melody and when female vocals are brought into the music they take the recording into more of a goth metal direction which is done in a more modern style.
At times the music brings in a touch of progressive rock and when the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard and the slower riffs bring in elements of doom metal and a couple of t he tracks are very long and epic in length and as the album progresses a small amount of industrial influences can be heard and there is also a brief use of death metal growls.
Darkwell creates another recording that remains true to the goth metal sound of previous releases while also taking it into a more modern direction, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Darkness, Sorrow and Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Darkwell and if you are a fan of goth and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Moloch" "Fall Of Ishtar" "Loss Of Reason" and "Awakening". 8 out of 10.
