Winter 2001 saw the birth of a new band called
Spellgate.
This project is not made up of traditional metal band instruments.
Synthesizers are the main instruments besides the voices of the two
members. They consider themselves synth metal with a fantasy theme.
I can see that, as well as music towards an industrial doom sound.
Their music has a very noticeable synthetic sound that makes their
music have a cheap resonance. Also, the levels need to be mixed better;
they don’t seem to have the right balance. Both those things
can be improved on, and might make the band sound more like a female
version of Mortiis. There wasn’t any song that I particularly
liked, but there are some nice elements in all of the songs. The beautiful
female vocals help save the band. This CD doesn’t have that
much length but it does include three songs and almost twelve minutes
of music. Rating: 60 |
