Please recomend me bands that sounds very similar to DARK SANCTUARY.
For example, ARCANA!! |
I have tried and tried to get into Dark Sanctuary, but it always manages to miss the mark whenever and wherever it counts. It's nice I think, but I guess what I'm trying to say.. not nice enough. That is a baaad spot for any band.
I just received my very first Arcana album today and it was a jolly good 7/10, so needless to say I expected more. I hope the two others I have heading my way turn out to be more gratifying. It's just so close of being excellent, but not quite there. So frustrating!
I did notice you asked for something similar to Dark Sanctuary, but I am completely going to ignore that request for a moment and throw in a recommendation which I personally rank as damn near the best thing I've discovered in such music in the last uh I don't know, 5-7 years? I am of course talking about the italian neofolk/dark cabaret/ambient/classical/avantgarde/folk noir/whatever sensation IANVA.

Right up your alley. I know what you mean, I look for the same things. So glad to have found it. Check it out, but beware, this is actually done by professional musicians largely with real instruments and not synthesized by french black metal didgeridoos (although there is a direct link to Spite Extreme Wing too). I think of them as a kind of fateful, bittersweet soundtrack to a Europe in decline. Which is what they are.

The only problem with this band is that the class is so superior to most similar music, it practically nullifies 95% of the rest. Oh well...
