Reviews list for Silent Stream of Godless Elegy - Relic Dances (2004)

They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but there is nothing flattering about this sorry ass excuse for a Lacuna Coil clone.

Start with Lacuna Coil. 

Make the production absolutely ass-push the worst aspects of Lacunas music as far forward in the mix as possible. Now layer it to ridiculous proportions. 

Take that and run it through a talent strainer, because we can’t have anything good interfering with the pure septic essence that this thing is.

Some people are going to hear the unconventional instrumentation that comes on thick and heavy and become tricked into thinking they are hearing something special. Make them sit through the whole album, let that wear off, and see if they like it once that new and shiny feeling goes away.

This is obnoxious, grating, and irritating music mixed to torment. This is what plays 24/7 in hell. 

Ya know what? Each year I watch the annual Eurovision contest and without fail there is a country that sends that contests “metal” entry, and it’s always horrible and I always hate it-that’s what this sounds like.
