RAPTURE - Songs For The Withering Digi-CD

2018 reissue on digisleeve CD including liner notes.

Now this is the album i was waiting for, for a long time! Melodic doom/death metal band, Rapture, are hailing from Finland and are one of the brightest stars in nowadays metal galaxy. Combining soft, emotional parts, with hard and aggressive moments, depressive lyrics and atmosphere they are going to get the attention of every doom metal lover. Music may sound like Katatonia in "Tonight's Decision" period, but belie me, Rapture have just took this atmosphere and led it to a completely new dimension and absolute perfection! Incredible production - clean and powerful, with raw and gentle guitars; clean and harsh growling vocals which sound like they are coming from the deepest abysses of hell. That's in short what you can expect from their second album - "Songs For The Withering". It features nine studio tracks and a bit over 45 minutes of brilliant music. If you asked me to choose the best song off the album, that would be the worst thing you could ask me - because every song is perfect! There are no good/so-so songs on this album, especially not band songs! Each one has some kind of hidden magic, crystallized through great melodies and depressive lyrics.
