Description: Orphans of Dusk - Revenant (2014)
Out of the nebulous ether a new shape of pure darkness has formed, giving the world Orphans Of Dusk: a Gothic death/doom metal three piece featuring members from Dunedin, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia.
The great Pete Steele would definitely approve. Orphans Of Dusk, a band hailing from New Zealand and Australia, deliver enormous, powerful goth-doom riffs that are infused with both delight and derision. This is Type O Negative revisited, with a bit of rampaging death metal thrown in to add an energetic edginess to the gothic drama. It’s an interesting twist that raises this four-track EP from mere homage to something altogether more appealing. It’s reminiscent of Rise Of Avernus’s stunning ‘L’appel Du Vide’ but without the female delicacy.
