Klimt 1918 "Undressed Momento"

Born from the ashes of the death metal band Another Day, Klimt 1918 (the monicker of the band recalls Gustav Klimt, Austrian painter, dead in 1918) forges pretty well its own musical identity both in the doom gothic sphere typical of bands such as Anathema and Katatonia, and in the cold and new wave of the 80's.
And this last point isn't only a promotional trick to gain gothic fans but, on the contrary, such influence is fully at the band's service and contrary to the trend in this musical style, the band prefers borrowing fatalism and disillusion from the cold wave instead of selling to facility and shamefully aspiring to all that there has been of kitsch in the new-wave. Therefore is a refined music, intentionally disenchanted, supported by a valid singing and by doom metal musical structure of quality.
Prefering the vibe to the easy success, Klimt 1918 develops its own universe skillfully, passing from the efficient ("Pale Song") to the clever ("Undressed Momento") and there where To/Diue/For fail, sinking in ridiculous mawkishness, the Italians from Klimt 1918 proudly succeed in their intelligent mix and this without seeming exactly the copy of the common places of this musical style, as their fellows Lacuna Coil have instead done and who don't stop copying all that the atmospheric metal has been so far.
A very good album, all served by a deluxe digipack, which will conquer both those who love doom gothic and the nostalgic of cold and new-wave.
