Depressed Mode - ...For Death (2009)

Genre : Symphonic Death (Doom)?
Country : Finland

I am very angry with this band, their first album is awesome, but this album is other stuff, very symphonic, with many keyboards, blast drums and brutal passages, with a little bit of Doom influences. The only good is the female vocals. This album is not bad, but is not Doom Metal for me, except for the last track.

The label Firedoom/Firebox is the killer of Doom bands, this is the death of Depressed Mode in the Doom Metal genre!...
.
The label Firebox sells this CD like Symphonic Death Doom, I don't trust in the labels, for this motive it's better listen before buying... This is Symphonic Metal stuff with diverse influences! I don't recommend purchase this album, if you don't like Symphonic Metal!

Send your comments about this album. Is good album for you?... It's Doom Metal?... It's a bad album?
