Years ago, shortly after I lost interest in gothic metal I heard from this severely underrated Finnish band.  By that time, I felt that the genre had lost its power and its ingenuity.  It had become too bombastic, symphonic and unreal to me.  I think it was a costumer at my shop who pointed me towards Dark The Suns and I remember thinking 'finally, some decent heavy gothic rock'.  However, shortly after, my life turned upside down and I forgot all about it.

Until now, so it seems.  Inverse Records has brought the band back to my attention and this time I plan to not let them go.  This is not a new album but a collection of the best songs from their oeuvre since the formation of the band in 2005.  The label also mentioned that the band is working on new songs for an upcoming album and I'm so looking forward to that.  Judging from the tracks on this one, they're coming to conquer.

Since this is a compilation I'm not going into details about the songs.  Yet, I have to recommend everyone who doesn't have a Dark The Suns album in their gothic metal collection to get their hands on a copy.  If you're into Moonspell, Lake Of Tears or Crematory you will also love this band.  There's absolutely no denying that.  'The Sleeping Beauty', 'The Dead End' and 'Reflections' are my favorite tracks but I'm quite sure I'll listen to the entire album a lot from now on...
