Dark Lunacy is a band from Italy, they were formed in 1997 and play a mix of gothic metal and melodic death metal, when i first heard their songs serenity, through the non time and hear of leningrad i was impressed, they sure know how to merge melodies, harsh vocals and emotions in their song, a very nice band and i recommend anyone who likes Novembre, Raintime, or Italian metal in general to take a gander at this band, you wont be sorry.

now as you might have guessed by now i like Doom metal and Melodic death metal, and thats exactly what this American quintet is all about, great acoustic passages, harsh vocals, and a incredible atmosphere on all their albums is what drew me in, I got their demo "The Lone Forgotten" first and upon hearing it was thinking i had found another band similar to old school Swedish death bands like Dismember, but when I got No Reply and Dismantling Devotion I saw that they mixed more doom into their music and it was a great add, songs like "Everything that belongs" and "In The Silence" represent some of the best this genre has to offer, once again if you like Swallow The Sun, Draconian, Opeth, Saturnus or bands in the same vein, get this, its awesome !

3. Draconian

Now Draconian is probably my favorite band of the whole melodic doom genre, might be because they were the first one I listened too, but they posses great quality and songs like "Death Come Near Me" and "Morphine Cloud" will leave you asking for more, since im not reviewing there bands but just recommending them to people with similar taste as me, I wont write much about their music, they were formed in Sweden in 1994 and I think you have all gotten what they play by now ^^. If you havent checked them out by now and like the bands i listed earlier be sure to do.
