Bethlehem's combination of their morbid metal sound on "Dark

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is by far Bethlehem's best effort if you like a gloomy, evil, and mostly a suicidal atmosphere combined with the the heaviness of death, black and some doom metal. All of the tracks are flowing and when listened to in it's gapless entirety, the atmosphere is the MOST depressing on any album I've ever heard... you feel like this album is what a suicide victim would write and compose to explain his pain and suffering through words and sound before ending his existence.



The vocalist on this album is as equally extreme (but much more varied in tone and sound) as their Dictius vocalist, however he does not show it very often on the album and the vocals are produced lower than the rest of the instruments so it isn't noticed as much as "Dictius" becuase of that album having the most volume on on the vocalist' microphone (listen to the middle section of Du Sollst Dich Toten after the guitar solo).



Buy this album and kill yourself.
