Klimt 1918 "Undressed Momento"

Italy's Klimt 1918 are a warm and embracing act of gothic/pop metal with darkwave undercurrents throughout their compositions.  Rich in texture and a dreamlike atmosphere, "Undressed Momento"  is a catchy, upbeat musical affair that contrasts with its depressing, bleak, or otherwise highly romantic lyrics.  The music is simple, and very 1980's new wave pop oriented, much like a darker, metal version of Tears For Fears, The Cure, or Depeche Mode, blended with the gothic standards of Katatonia and Opeth.  The vocals are almost entirely clearly sung, and Marco Soellner's strong voice is full of emotion and bleak melancholy, while the embracing guitars display vibrant warmth throughout the recording. 
"Undressed Momento"  is a strong and powerful gothic-pop album that suceeds beautifully in creating a warm atmosphere and a good impression on the mind. The detailed focus on new wave pop gives the album a sense of hope to break from the depression and despair of standard gothic fare. And besides, it's harmonic, catchy nature is quite infectious in making for repeated listens.  Also, Klimt 1918 project a good sense of originality and intelligence behind the music that is a rare quality these days in gothic-pop metal.  The material is strong and the songs are very well done, and the artistic nature of the band shines through in a kaleidoscope of colors and emotions.  Along with  their fantastic Rain Paint release, My Kingdom Music has scored another winner of an album that is not to be missed in the least bit.
