If you are ever in the mood for a darker sort of music, head on over to DarkDose. Their site is a delightful mix of melancholy and musical darkness. I visit there quite frequently and was really glad that I stumbled across this page recently.

I thought it would be a nice change for visitors of my site to have a dose of the dark musical reviews and commentary that flourishes over there.

They are currently showcasing a band by the name of Ion. This is a band that I’d previously never heard of, but clicked on the “Anathema Amaranatha” link at the bottom for a sample of the music. This is not an actual download, but you can listen to the track via QuickTime.

Upon listening to this song, I was greeted by a slow bit of piano playing and a melodic sort of dark sound. Slowly meandering her way in, the vocalist, Emily Saaen, treated us to words echoed beautifully in Russian. Slow pauses are played out nicely and the way that Emily injects herself into the music is a nice welcome.

This is slow and very well put together. You can purchase the CD via this link.

Oh how I love to find new music.
