ORCHRIST (BEL) Echoes of the void CD '02. While their previous demo reminded me a bit the sound and the style of some bands that released average doom/ death metal albums around 1991, they're now far more "happy" with rocking melodic touches and all what a rocking happy death metal head doesn't need. All the more, their logo have been done in an old Death metal way, as if Dan Sea Grave has taken his pen to do a second SEANCE logo, but it's absolutely not ancient Death metal influenced (in my ears in fact). I could quote influences such as PARADISE LOST ("Icon") for the most sad parts, but the whole is more melodic in the vein of NIGH IN GALES and Co. This seems to be correctly constructed and played in an OK way, but it's not my style anyway. It's you to see if you like this kind of melodic and lets say happy bands that was numerous around '97 and '98. http://www.orchrist.net
