CoC : Lost Soul's Cry - Age of Forthcoming Chaos : Review

Lost Soul's Cry - _Age of Forthcoming Chaos_
by: Pedro Azevedo (4 out of 5)

First and foremost, this one-man project from Holland is in dire need of finding some decent artwork for future releases. Anyway, the music is fast, keyboard-led blackened metal with synthetic drums, interspersed with slower, doomier sections. Frank Klein Douwel manages to single-handedly create some varied and competently performed music on this demo, and he certainly deserves credit for that. The music is not mindblowingly great, but it is quite good for a demo and shows a lot of work. Due to the use of a drum machine, the sound is sometimes a bit contrived rhythmically, and with time Douwel should improve his artificial drumming to get around that. A rather good, dynamic and varied demo; it is flawed in places, but as a demo it is still a fine one-man effort that shows some good potential.
