Twilight: Twilight


Twilight are somewhat of a black metal supergroup, as the members (Wrest, Malefic, Hildolf, Imperial, and Azentrius) have all been around the scene for a bit under various other names and in a few different bands. While I'm all for new acts in the genre trying something different and breaking the mold, it's hard to fathom just what Twilight are trying to accomplish here. Sure, there are some interesting and crushing guitar parts to be heard on some of the songs ("Exact Agony, Take Life" and "Larval Liaise"), but overall the vocals are just plain hideous throughout, sounding either way under-mixed or just plain old incomprehensible and garbled. When you have plenty of brutal black metal bands like Dimmu Borgir, Dragonlord, and Cradle of Filth churning out sophisticated product these days, it's hard to listen to something like this, which sounds so amateurish. The songs are uninteresting, lack any kind of dynamics or power, and the production is awful. Even the addition of synths on some of the songs doesn't help matters much, but I certainly wondered how a song like "As the March of Worms" might have sounded with at least half-way decent vocals. If Twilight has dreams of becoming the next Emperor, they had better get back to the drawing board and quick

"When you have plenty of brutal black metal bands like Dimmu Borgir, Dragonlord, and Cradle of Filth churning out sophisticated product these days, it's hard to listen to something like this..."

this statement is kinda dumb. i admit, i'm a fan of cradle of filth and dimmu borgir, but i don't consider them "brutal" in any sense of the word, and sophisticated is not a word i would use to describe either one. cradle of filth especially seem more tongue-in-cheek than sophisticated.

i love that twilight record and i HATE fucking black metal

Another n00b metal critic who values budget, production, and glitz over talent and concept. Go back to Coldplay and Pearl Jam.

you're just a fuckin idiot.

k good to know just makin sure

black metal = \m/

retarded review.

I recall seeing an article with Wrest saying the Twilight project pretty much sucked.

Oh yea, Dimmu fuckin sucks.

Varg Vikernes gets picked up before he can assasinate DB @ a live concert...So the rumor goes.

Dimmu Borgir is not brutal. They suck donkey nuts.

pretty shitty review. i hate it when all these metal writers, can't write for shit.

it's a horrible review whether you like the Twilight album or not. His justifications for ripping the record show he knows nothing about BM (counter)-kvlture.

Dimmu fucking rules, but to coin them as "brutal" is just uneducated. and Cradle of Filth doesnt deserve any title but "dogshit"
