EXISTENCE

Kudos to Dark Suns for changing their sound radically even before Opeth did! The band decided to lay even less focus on melodies and classic composition structure ending up in a pool of mistakenly unrelated moments. Music began being more atmospheric with a random feeling element, while also less memorable and maintaining the dark feeling. Perhaps a closer move to Katatonia this time? Let's also add "Tool" to the list of bands they must have heard! To be fair, the band also sounds more original now.

Rhythms are more complex, playful and more irregular. Clean vocals are sun almost everywhere and they are decent. Worth mentioning are softer and more accessible songs like "Daydream" that confirm band's versatility.

There are stronger and weaker moments - my only complaint is that the album is far too long and it could have been a stronger 50-minute album.
