Daylight Misery are soon to release their album "Depressive Icons" due out November but in the meantime they are spreading around this 3 track promo as a bit of a teaser.They have Vassilis (Rotting Christ, ex-Nightfall, Ex-Obscecration) handling the vocals and he does a pretty good job adding a real Death Metal vibe to the songs.The songs are fairly melodic and are not really Doom but more of a Atmospheric/ Gothic style of Metal.This is a style i am not a fan of usually but with this band the melodies do drag me into digging it quite a lot.The opening track on the promo is "Meadows Of Desire" which has some solid riffing and some haunting female backing vocals which is all pushed forward by Vassilis Death Metal growl.The band also makes good use of keyboards which adds to the gothic nature of the tunes.The other 2 tracks on the promo are equally solid that mix melody with some melancholic heaviness.Musically its a blend of Rotting Christ, Nightfall, Paradise Lost, Amorphis, Saturnus and My Dying Bride.Being such a short promo its hard to judge what sort of impact a full length will have on people but the seeds have been sowed on this fine promo.I will interested to hear the album once released. 8/10

Hello! Thanks for the kind words concerning Daylight Misery but there is a little mistake. The singer is not George Bokos. George is just the producer of the album and the Promo. The singer is called Vassilis. Please make the correction if it's possible! Thanks!
