WITHIN THE REALM OF A DYING SUN

The 3rd album by DCD is simply amazing and presents a mature and self-confident artists who found a right balance between their earlier "darkwave", "post-gothic rock" sound and folk/world fusion ambience of the works to come.

Just listen to the mesmerising "Anywhere Out of the World", eerie instrumental "Windfall", tribal chant of "Dawn of the Iconoclast" or a stunning crescento of "Cantara" and you'll hear beautiful melodies, melancholic musings, dark themes of lost love and innocence and mediaeval- sounding cries and echoes.

It is hard to tell whose voice is stronger and more awsome: Perry's cold baritone or Gerard's nasal acrobatics; both are wonderful. If you still have doubts about inclusion of DCD into PA site, I would strongly advise you to start with this brilliant album. Even a mere look at the cover image gives me goosebumps...
