5.0 out of 5 stars If you miss old Paradise Lost, November 19, 2000

By	"eccentriclad" (Louisville, Kentucky) - See all my reviews

Darkseed's latest is truly their greatest. Their song structure is more straight-forward, but the melodies and vocals are better than ever. This CD reminds me alot of Icon era Paradise Lost or latter day Sentenced. If that sounds cool to you go buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars New Gods!!!!, September 7, 2001

By	K "fdl" (Bogotá D.C.) - See all my reviews

I bought this cd two months ago and its been in my car since then. It's perfect, unmatchable and glorious (this is a new high in gothic metal, surpassing paradise lost!!!). the vocals are really similar to james hethfield's, but much much better, plus, stefan can growl amazingly. the music is hard but beautiful, and the tecno soundscapes really adds some deep and dark feeling to the songs. hopelessness is the greatest "hard rock gothic ballad" song ever known by mankind!!!!

For those who play an instrument like me, this cd is the one that makes you thing "[...]why I don't come up with something like that!!!!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark & moody, January 27, 2001

By	skullhead (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This is definitely Darkseed's best album to date. With "Diving into Darkness" Darkseed has honed their songwriting skills considerably. The songs are for the most part midtempo doom-rockers and have plenty of catchy hooks.

Overall, the album is driven by crunchy, distorted guitars and a punchy rhythym section. The vocalist sings in a Nick Holmes/James Hetfield style for the most part, occasionally punctuated by death growls. Electronics and synths are featured on this album much moreso than on previous releases, but they mixed tastefully into the songs so they don't dominate but rather add character and atmosphere. No one will mistake this for Depeche Mode.

If you like your metal moody and melodic, then this is for you.
