Dark Lunacy
This self-labeled "dramatic death metal" band from Italy was
formed in 1997, self-releasing an MCD in 1998 and later,
after signing to a record label, two albums in 2000 and
2004
At its core, Dark Lunacy is a straightforward death
metal band, not too technical or brutal but also not terribly
melodic.
This is complemented, though,
with the incorporation of a string quartet
and choired vocals, though the latter is rarely the chanted variety
found in
Therion
and the like.
The transitions from death metal to classical strings/choirs aren't
always seemless, giving some songs the occasional disjointed
feel, as if the band wrote a standard death metal tune and then
felt the need to interject a violin interlude.
However, this is offset with the originality and ambitions that
this band possess.
Thus, not a perfect band yet, but one heading in the right direction.
