5.0 out of 5 stars
From the land of the rising MeloDeath, July 28, 2007
This review is from: Mystic Your Heart (Audio CD)
Mystic your Heart is the follow up of BSC's awsome debut album: Silence of Northern Hell. This record is, in my opinion, superior to Silence(see my review of Silence for more info on that album) but also quite different. Mostly by introducing a more electronic vibe (without overdoing it) rather than the more gothic/organ sounding keybord of their first LP but still keeping the MeloDeath structure intact. Another big difference is the production value. Dispite the recording sounding a little "boxed in" compared to other metal albums, everything sounds far superior than their first album.It was co-produced in Finland and it shows. The songs are a bit on the short side for a metal band but the good side of this is that you never get tired of listening to them. The songs stucture is also quite simple and is repeated throughout the album. So progressive metal lovers should not pick this up. The strong points of the LP are the speed and the melodies. There are no fillers, you like one song, you like them all. That may point out a lack of originality but it works for me. Also pointing out, their are no emo-like clean vocals (unlike their following album, Idolator, on which they totaly went the Metalcore/Emo way (much like what In Flames have been doing these past few years)and guess what? it sucks.
So, you like your metal fast, with very strong melodies and screaching vocals then you'll love Mystic your Heart
I know it's quite expensive, but if you get only one taste of BSC's music in your life then let it be this record.
