Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Evadne - 20 Years Behind the Veil of Melancholy (2023)

Reviewing this because it is on the home page. It's the summation of everything that I hate in metal. Opening track is 3+ minutes of absolutely no metal-Imagine for a moment that you bought this for $12 bucks, ready for some metal, and then whole first track just pisses in your face like that? NICE!

When we finally hear some metal it's of the most generic shit imaginable. Vocalist has no defining character in his voice, just a generic half-assed grunt that sounds like he's trying to push out a... you get the idea. Then somewhere during the 2nd track the grim reaper of heavy metal-the blackest of all black angels: Soft feminine soprano comes in and Zero taps the fuck out like he's in the goddamn sharpshooter. 

This is metal for people who like Evanessence but want to feel edgy while they listen to their shitty mall goth rock. An absolute warcrime. 

In an attempt to beef up some of admittedly short and lack-luster reviews, I sometimes look to other sites for insight and wit to pull from, but in all of Metal Archives, and all of discogs there is absolutely nothing for this album. I have quite possibly put more time into this album than any man alive. I am not proud of this. It did not deserve as much as I have given it.
