This band is usually compared to the band Katatonia, and I don’t blame them, they have tons of similarities, both bands have played the same style of slow tempo melodic metal (considered as doom/death by some).

In this particular album (Silent Stage) we can find two different vocals, the typical death metal growl and a depressive clean singing. Let’s compare: Rapture’s growls do sound tougher than the ones in the first Katatonia albums, and the clean singing also sounds a lot like Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), people could confuse the bands any day.

In conclusion, this band deserves the tag of “Katatonia clone”, but I think they actually perfected something that Katatonia doesn’t have anymore and is not only the death metal growls, also the music seems to be a little less atmospheric and makes space to more distorted guitar riffs.
