Misanthropy

I have to admit that I have never heard anything by this group before, and with all the press they have gotten, I was not expecting an album like this. This is just gothic eerieness album and by that I mean that it is all keyboards and classical music. I thought this was a metal group, but I guess they opted for something different. I am not complaining, it is a good album, however it is not very complex. I am used to hearing music like this in the form of classical, which has more changes in it than any normal person could actually come up with. This album plays a classical/gothic style with songs structured like rock/metal songs. Although it is good, it takes a little getting used to. Don’t let that deter you, this is a great sound track for those of us who like to scare our neighbors into moving away. Misanthropy Records, P.O.
