I
must admit it: I am very proud of the Italian underground’s
productions!!! It
is always satisfactory to listen to a good work, especially when comes
from your own country (a bit of healthy national pride..eheheh). Surprising
indeed these Dark secreT. A fierce and furious
sound, very fast and of high impact, the kinf that takes your breath
away. An excellent drumming and bass work, that creates a rhythm section
of great skill, on which are developed with great majesty stout and
melodic guitar riffs, with hints of slides that make the work a
sort of evolutionary stage. 8
tracks, for almost 38 minutes of pure ferocity, never stopped, always in
motion…lethal! The
double bassdrum in “Darkside possess me” is emblematic: it
plays with the guitars, thus reprocucing a sort of fall into the
darkness. A
powerful and gloomy growl melds into a really fine and heteorgenous
technical work. Almost a celebretion we find in “Minds against The
Nature”: here the guitar is the true master, developing a sound
that recalls the beloved
Shuldiner. Running
breathlessly, as if we’re pursued by a demonic presence in the guise
of musical notes, we pass on “Falling into a sad Madness”,
not stumbling, not relenting, in dreamwalk and anguish. “A
Sand Sky” and “The last Prayer” are the best
performances of this Sicilian band that plays on almost prog
intermissions, revealing interesting and doubtless technical
capabilities. Gloomy and terrifying, they transmit decadent anguish that
walks along us up to the final “Evil and Passion” (titletrack)…the
symbol, in my opinion, of the Dark Secret’s style: a song that
collects mastery and daring of these guys that keep high the name of a
musical genre extermely complex, for the difficulties in trying to be
innovative, and for the high speed that require competence and study. Great work boys!!! Rating: 8.5/10 |
