Enchantment
Dance the marble naked (CD) 1994 Century Media
The extremely amateurish booklet and artwork could never reveal the fact that Enchantment is actually a great doom band that could have become one of the "big" ones if they didn't split after their only full-length album! They play that kind of heavy-and-at-the-same-time-nervous doom that made of bands like Anathema and Paradise Lost monuments of the genre. The music of Enchantment is melodic and energetic and there are some accelerated parts with excellent, thrashy guitar work and aggressive drums, making of 'Dance the marble naked' a doom death album in the truest sense of the word. The only thing that could possibly scare off some "softer" doom fans, is singer Paul's tortured voice and his lack of articulation, that may cause some headaches to the more innocent listeners among us…but if you can digest the vocals, 'Dance the marble naked' becomes an essential release, especially for fans of My Dying Bride, Anathema and Paradise Lost.	1.
