Cadaveria are a band from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a horror themed mixture of black and gothic metal and this is a review of their 2002 album "The Shadows Madame" which will b e re-issued in 2022 by Time To Kill Records.
Opera music samples start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some clean singing also being utilized at times and the keyboards also give the songs more of a gothic horror atmosphere.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard along with the tracks also having their symphonic moments as well as mixing in a good amount of 80's and 90's influences, most of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction and a small amount of clean playing can also be heard on the closing track.
On this recording Cadeveria took the black and gothic metal styles of the mid 90's and mixed them together with some horror elements to create a very dark yet heavy recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyric's cover Occultism, Witchcraft and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Cadaveria and if you are a fan of black and gothic metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Spell" "Circle Of Eternal Becoming" and "The Magic Rebirth". 8 out of 10.
