The Lust I Seek
Where Shadows Grow Silent (Demo) 2003 None
A relatively new band from Finland, The Lust I Seek play fairly standard doom/death, but they mix it up a little bit with gothic/atmospheric parts. Of course, when I say 'fairly standard', I mean that they pretty much ape the style of the early Peaceville bands... namely, My Dying Bride, and Paradise Lost. Normally, the seeming lack of originality would be a problem. I don't think we really need yet another clone band... however, The Lust I Seek are clearly talented, as they certainly have a knack for catchy songwriting... and they do break up the death/doom with black metal parts, and gothic parts, which keeps the music interesting. Overall, it seems like The Lust I Seek are a young band. Throughout most of 'Where Shadows Grow Silent' it is evident that they are still searching for their own sound. I hope they find it, because if they do, it will make them an act to watch out for in the doom scene.	1. Frozen Roses 2. For My Sins 3. Where Shadows Grow Silent 4.
