Review

ANTHEMON is a French heavy-metal band, to be watched closely. In the wake of THE GATHERING, the quintet particularly likes gothic atmospheres, and operatic female vocals mixed with male death-metal grunts. "Talvi" (2000) delivers a great ambient heavy metal, from epic pieces a la DREAM THEATER to WITHIN TEMPTATION-like keyboards parts. ANTHEMON's real first album is entitled "Arcanes" (2003), and was published on the Thundering label. Aiming at producing great symphonic doom-metal, the musicians are now moving from the gothic influences of their previous works. You'll need time to find out the essence of this masterpiece, and that's what makes it so interesting. Even though the contrast between heavy guitars and female vocals can remind you of NIGHTWISH, the dark atmospheres are rather close to EMPYRIUM or the other stars of the genre on slow tracks. Never falling into pompous mellow stuff, the musicians even dare to include background elements that bring even more depth to already thick songs. Not to be missed !
