A report about Vigor Mortis

I was searching in the web and i found this nice article:


DEATHLIKE SILENCE-Vigor Mortis (Dethrone Music)


Not too many people will know about this band, but this might change very soon. The band hails from Finland and consists of Ms Maya on vocals, Mr Catafalque on guitar, Mr Cerberos on guitar, Mr Gehenna on drums, Mr Ward on bass and Ms Erna on keyboards. Names, that probably won’t ring a bell to you, except perhaps for Ms Erna on keyboards. True, Ms Erna has a connection with these Finnish shock horror rockers. But they are really the monster type of a band, while DEATHLIKE SILENCE is more the dark, macabre ‘grave digger at night’ type of band. They like to call their music grave digger metal, which is a great name indeed for this new rock sensation. Their music does sound melodic at times, too. Maybe “Six Feet Under The Ground” is a good example here. It’s a strong melodic rock song with some MALMSTEEN-like guitarwork. “Face Your Death” however, is a kick ass metal song, which reminds me of German legends WIZARD at times. I like the title “Let Sleeping Corpses Lie”, which has got nothing at all to do with the MICHAEL SCHENKER song “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie”, by the way. This song is also dark, and it contains a nice riff. In their live shows, the band dresses up and turn their horror image into a good show element. Ms Maya’s voice is low, dark and clear. It fits very well to the obscure horror elements. “You Cannot Kill The Boogyman” contains a catchy feel and a strong guitar solo. “Next To Your Grave” is a ballad and Ms Maya sounds like the singer of horror wave band SCARY BITCHES here. Fans of Siouxie Sioux may also like Ms Maya’s singing style. The intro of “One Thousand Deaths” is done by Ms Erna on the old church organ. Again it fits pretty well to the horror image of the band. Together with the doomy, guitar riffs, it sounds very dark indeed. “Nosferatu” (let’s say, the German version of Dracula) ends this nice CD, which is full with dark tales and very diverse. Ten songs, forty-five minutes long, you’ll keep your breath, waiting for all these beautiful sounds to enter your room. The album is easy on the ears, and it even sounds good in broad daylight. It stands out well, when the clock strikes twelve, the grave diggers start their graveyard shifts, and the vampires come back to life again. Website: http://www.deathlikesilence.com.

What do you think about it? I think Deathlike Silence has no real "Horror Image" like the author of this text wrote.

All songs are quite ok, but Face Your Death is very good song.

Very melodic. I like melodic, that's why I'm starting a rock band.
Influences : Deathlike Silence/ Fintroll/ and, ofcourse, Lordi.

But yes, SFUTG is an awesome song. The first one I heard by DS. It was the one that caught my attention and made me want to listen to more.
