Mental Home

Mental Home formed in Russia in 1993 and rose to prominence within their home country in a few years' time, eventually attracting the interest of The End Records (who released 1999's Black Art) and finally Century Media, resulting in their fourth and most mature album, Upon The Seas Of Inner Shores. Inner Shores is a fine slice of dark, elegant gothic metal, almost progressive at times, with vocals that might bring to mind later-period Sentenced. The musicianship is solid throughout, with the bassist and keyboardist deserving special marks for some inventive playing. Though the band hasn't been heard from in awhile, they are apparently active and working on a new release for either 2004 or 2005.
