In Silentio Noctis – Through Fragments of Christianity

Releasedate: 09-04-2010; Label: My Kingdom Music
By: Sabine van Gameren

In Silentio Noctus is a Finnish band making Symphonic Black Metal. Their debut album “Through Fragments of Christianity” is released now.

This Finnish act started so well with the introduction, an instrumental piece of music that you adore for its deep atmospheric Black Metal melancholy. God damnit how rude are they to interrupt this heavenly good piece of art with bringing in the female vocals like it is some sort of gothic opera. It is not fair to say that vocalist Armi Päivinen has a bad voice, she surely can sing, but whoever thought that a true Black Metal fan would really have a need for this music? There is a whole lot of rape involved in Black Metal, but who would have thought that there would at some day be a band that stands up and rape the genre itself? The music itself would be gorgeous to listen instrumentally and the vocals would do great in another sort of band, but here it just did not make the mix. This is typically an attempt of mixing creative and talented people that does not work that great as they are together. A battle against each other and in a way that they could be standing next to each other perfectly, but maybe should not get involved with each other in the way they did on this album.
