Portuguese
doom metal
act
Moonspell
consistently delivers doomy
goth metal
with stentorian vocals that owe much to
Bauhaus
'
Peter Murphy
, symphonic keyboards in the
Nightwish
tradition, proggy extended arrangements, all-over basic
black metal
riffing and blastbeat drumming. It's all here on the compilation
The Great Silver Eye
. Epic blasts of growly doom like the nearly-eight-minute opener
"Wolfshade (A Werewolf Masquerade)"
and choral neo-prog like
"Full Moon Madness"
will not convince those with no predilection for the style, but the previously converted will be happy. ~ Stewart Mason
