5.0 out of 5 stars Your best Nightmare..., May 17, 2004

By 

Draconis Blackthorne (The Haunted Noctuary) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psycho Magnet (Audio CD)

Wolves howling, hearts beating, thunder crashing. The Story-teller opens the large book of fanciful cover. The pages sweep you inside the dark realm of vampires, werewolves, maidens, succubi & incubi...

Suffice it to say, these gentlemen are of the "Gothic" persuation. They know the value of psychodrama, as evidenced in their stage shows, which becomes a vitrual gallery of horrors. Gargoyles, tombstones, crypt edifices, autumnal leaves strewn about, skeletal trees, & their own personal costuming - like they crawled their way right up from those very graves. The vocalist appears morbidly emaciated, rather like Lestat of Anne Rice fame, after being submerged in the lake. The bassist looks like Lurch, & the others present their own ghoulish attire. They definitely preserve the Halloween spirit wherever they play.

The music is best appreciated by candle &/or moonlight. These nosferatu are brilliant musicians, perfectly timed, perfectly chosen. This is haunted music. In My opinion, LAM just may be the best Gothic Rock that has ever been. LAM is devoid of the annoying whining, but instead, the melancholy voice herein is more powerful, somewhat more robust, & definitely, much more talented. They will go far.

The songs are filled with theatric energy, deep feeling, & tragic romance. They bring the cemetary right into your room. The music tends to touch you on an emotional level. They stand out in the sea of Gothic bands. Thanatos & Dracula themselves seem to speak through the music. The Gothic-Horror myths come to life.

So come take a trip to London After Midnight, & unto Transylvania, where it is more than just a place, but a state of mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bau-who?, January 9, 2000

By 

Theresa DeLucci (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psycho Magnet (Audio CD)

Why is it that every great, energetic band who chooses to wear black eyeliner and happens to be fronted by a beautiful lead singer gets compared to Bauhaus? "You cannot judge what you don't understand," Sean Brennan sings on LAM's album "Selected Scenes...," is a good enough answer for me. If I were to compare LAM to anyone, it would be Oscar Wilde. LAM goes about their music in a slick, danceable and seductive manner...the better draw listeners into their web of wit and wisdom. Any reference to demons, graves, suicide, and bondage seems very tongue-in-cheek, and their songs about weightier emotions such as lust, power, and greed are nothing short of intelligent. I especially enjoyed the blatant references to Hamlet on "Hate!" and the sexy sarcasm of "The Bondage Song." Highly recommended!

This album makes it hard to believe that London After midnight have only released one album prior. The songs on this album are intense, dramatic and chilling, there isn't one song on the disc that is worth skipping. Tracks like Carry On... and Shatter can almost bring a tear to your eye while songs like Kiss and the Good Girls just may make you want to dance. This is just a solid release and it makes me look really forward to their next studio disc.
