VLAD TEPES - Dans Notre Chute... CD

The Dans Notre Chute demo is nearly as good as Celtic Poetry, with a few songs even surpassing it. The first thing I noticed when I heard this was how "good" the sound was, of course good doesn't mean CoF, but good by LLN standards. Everything is pretty audible in the mix, although I would like to hear the bass more, but that's just nitpicking. There is a fuzz or static sound that is constant throughout the course of the album, but that doesn't really distract you from the overall material present here. The songs are what you would expect from VT, but something like Our Soul's Worries or Nos Terribles Pensees have something special to them, something different. To me, the standout track is definately the aformentioned Our Soul's Worries or Tepes - The Unweeping, with its epic sounding intro riff or its ugly mid riff.
