Crowdance – Serpent
Crowdance were formed in the year 2007. This demo called Serpent, is their first official output and was released in 2009. It features three songs.
Crowdance combine Gothic Metal with heavy guitars and many electronic and industrial elements. The songs have no fast and brutal metal attacks, but are based on the heavy riffing and a dark industrial atmosphere. Singer Alex is mostly singing and not growling or screaming. Brutal vocals are used sparely, Alex can do both styles well. With a little bit more practicing, he surely will be a very good vocalist! The production is quite good for this kind of music, the bass is warm and pounding and all the additional industrial and electronic samples are also mixed well into the sound. All three songs are on the same quality level, my personal favourite is the last one, Threnody. Crowdance deliver a very satisfying debut, but they are “dancing” on a musical edge: their music is maybe too heavy for electro-fans and too electronic for metal-fans, but I have no problem with that direction, the band should just continue on this path!
