Going to dark zone. This 1st time i heard about this band actually. yeah yeah true they are good. This album is limited to 500 unit only. To be truth i quite passion with their atmosphere. Such a chaotic and true darkness. They are 3 man involved and they using drum machine to complete the atmosphere. "Dark 3.11" make me going to their journey to the darkest world. They are using ambient synth, depressive scream, epic tremolo riffing while supporting in whispering vocal and drum machine. Most of their song is 10 minute over, yet they elaborated rythm slowly. The rythm much psycological to me (am i been hypnotized?). Btw i do respect them coz they made simple yet effective music that really accounter me. "Dark 3.14" is using diff approach. Everlasting dark synth and palm muting riff (not good track for me).Well overall highly recommended this album. Thanks DarkSpace for this masterpiece.

Finally, great gothic band with twisted vibe. Grand symphonic synth to dark music, based on creepy and horrow. Great darkness atmosphere. Synth much like COF, and vocal like Type O Negative. "The Drama Of the Wicked" will awaken ur darkness soul. Concept synth like Dimmu Borgir. Synth is the key to lead all rythm. "Secrecies in Darkness" is in death influence with choir effect, palm muting, fast drum. Rythm is kinda repetitive yet elaborated slowly. Their Lyrics is based on horror and literature. Such a wonderful symphony. I pick "Kutulu", "Carpathia" and "Sister Najade" as standup track. Keep up good work. Recommended.

Akphaezya bringing avantgarde gothic to one step higher. This is their 1st album after demo album on 2004. Btw they are gothic on jazz influence (woot !!). Nehl which is vocalist (girl ^^) really can represent her feeling towards each rythm. She also able to change voice style on gothic or jazz or pop (lol?). This album start with darkwave and whispering Nehl voice in "Preface" (lyric on Avantgarde). Totally awesome. "Chrysalis" now showing strong gothic jazz element (ah remind me on Ephel Duath but in soft mode). Thanks also to Nehl for awesome jazz keyboard. "Beyond The Sky " is on acoustical. Great rythm and Nehl Vocal (much like Antichrisis+Lacuna Coil). Guitar riff also quite good. Heavy yet have melancholic solo (great tapping on "Awake"). Oh..cant say a word..grab it..totally recommended !!.
Thanks Nehl for superb vocal. Cant wait hear from u.
