Review : CD

Round up one gurgl vocalist, one lulling gothic female vocalist, bountiful riffery, odd keyboards, some electronics and one serious drum machine, throw them all into a deep bowel laden with shit then let them go at it for over an hour. This is truly hateful material. Is it a whiny Industrial band or the weakest Black Metal group ever created? Eclectika tried for both and came up with nothing but watered-down failure. When Dazzling Dawn gets serious, the growling and simplistic grooves come in – and you can see the changes from miles away.

Predictable and boring, Dazzling Dawn is amateur-sounding in every way. With no new techniques or original sounds, the album is a fucked-up, insipid mush that the world would be better off without.

50/100
