Estatic Fear's "A Sombre Dance" is a beautifully breathtaking album. Though it suffers from stagnation in some places, the vast majority of the album effectively captures the listener in epic, symphonic metal soundscapes. The stark contrast between the satanic male vocals and the angelic female vocals is marvelously highlighted by the meandering violin, flute, and electric guitar-driven passages. This album is a must for fans of Draconian or My Dying Bride.
