Molllust/Schuld/2012 CD Review


  Molllust  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  plays  a  mixture  of  opera  and  power  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2012  album  "Schuld".

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  to  fast  playing  with  a  brief  use  of  blast  beats,  while  the  violins  and  keyboards  bring  a  very  atmospheric,  dark,  classical  and  opera  music  sound  to  the  recording,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  heavy/power  metal  riffs  that  sound  very  modern  sounding  with  mostly  power  chord  riffing  with  some  melody  being  utilized  at  times  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  signing  female  opera  vocals  with  some  male  back  ups  being  used  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  German  and  cover  dark  themes,  as  for t he  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  dark  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  and  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on t his  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Molllust  are  a  very  great  sounding  opera  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Sternennacht"  "Spiegelsee"  "Puppentanz"  and  "Schatten".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
