Ensoph: Opus Dementiae Per Speculum Et In Aenigmate
A really nice blend of dark gothic elements and metal with one or two twists of folk music along the way from this Italian unit. Favorite flavor? Operatic vocals (Angelic?) that duel it out with growly, benath-the-dirt vocals (Demonic!) over richly textured music that moves the listener to both rage and reflection. Tracks such as "Faith Defeat," "Salmo A Nessuno" and "Sun Of The Liar" are great, but "Sophia's Fall" remains the absolute best here and maybe the best demonstration of how Ensoph works its magic. If you draw no lines between Sisters Of Mercy and Emperor, Mr. Bungle and Marilyn Manson, then Ensoph is probably the band you've been waiting for.
