CoC : Enchanted Silence - Anthropobhobia : Review

Enchanted Silence - _Anthropobhobia_
by: Pedro Azevedo (3 out of 5)

This Norwegian/Finnish band plays some decent keyboard-laden doom/death; their main problem seems to be that the quality of the clean vocals is rather unstable. Sometimes they are kept at an acceptable level, some other times (especially during "The Colorist") they degenerate into rather mediocre and very misplaced goth-like vocals. I don't mean that the band should necessarily get rid of the clean vocals, though that might be a solution, but at the very least they need to make a much better selection of what to use and what to leave out and improve the overall quality of the clean vox. Apart from that, good production and playing and reasonable songwriting; some passages indicate that the band may have an interesting future if they can make the right choices.
