Blackmetal is generally a fairly one-sided style of music. Only a few bands are able to stretch the boundaries of the genre so much that really interesting music is created. Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir are good examples of this. The Flemish Ancient Rites also seems to be looking for it in the broadest sense because the music on their new CD Dim Carcosa is by no means simple straightforward… metal. Apart from the beautiful orchestral opener The Return, the music is hard and fast, but also very complex. The structure of the songs is ingenious and there is regularly slowed down to bring more melodic elements to the fore. These have a folky character which fits nicely with the dark and gloomy atmosphere on Dim Corcosa. In addition, the vocals of Gunther Theys are varied and especially when supported by polyphonic background vocals very powerful. All this makes Dim Carcosa an exceptional and adventurous black metal album. (RWK)more
