Album: Raynham Hall (2013)
Genre: Gothic Rock (Darkwave/Prog Rock) / Germany
Sweet Ermengarde is gothic rock in its original incarnation - distinctive parallels to the sound of bands like "Fields Of The Nephilim", "And Also The Trees" and the early "The Mission" are detectable. But Sweet Ermengarde are no mere retro line-up, even if in particular the British 1980s decade is echoed in their music. They rather transpose their roots into modernism and thus manage to create a sound close to the pulse of time. The result is atmospherically dense, with plaintive echo guitars, epic soundscapes and a tight rhythm section. This stunning mixture is reigned by the characteristic dark timbre in the haunting voice of singer Kuba Achtelik. Convince yourself by listening to the band's debut long-player "Raynham Hall", which will be released at the label Équinoxe Records and will be published on 14 June 2013. In essence, “Raynham Hall” is a crafted piece of atmospheric and spineshivering gothic rock which affects your moods till the point that an occasional rapture can occur. It soon becomes clear, that Sweet Ermengarde is a band you should be keeping an eye on in the coming days. And in the ear anyway. (www.facebook.com)
