After
only one demo this Russian band found a label and three years
later we have their debut album "Fragile Monuments"
which was released through Solitude Productions, another
Russian label dedicated to doom metal releases.
From the first note, you can easily understand that Tales
of Dark, adore the old days of My Dying Bride,
actually sometimes their singer reminds me of the singer from
My Dying Bride.
Of course Tales of Dark aren't just a copycat of the
English band, but they have their personal sound and this
is the more gothic way that they have turned the music direction
of the band.
I mean that of course their music is based in doom metal,
but they have elements from gothic metal too. Also their well
developed compositions have really long duration.
Most of their songs are more than ten minutes length and also
they have female vocals and the death metal male ones. Generally
the stuff from the band was really good and of course the
fans of doom metal should check it out.
