CoC : Doxomedon - Evanesce : Review

Doxomedon - _Evanesce_
(Dark Artz, 1999)
by: Pedro Azevedo (7 out of 10)

This Singaporean band certainly looks ready to impress if they can release a full-length album that shows enough progression from this MCD. _Evanesce_ is a well-produced MCD which, although only 16 minutes long, already makes it clear that Doxomedon have plenty of potential and enough present ability to put together consistent and interesting material. Their style has elements of both death and mostly mid-paced black metal without sounding remarkably like any particular band and the songs are dynamic enough to avoid becoming repetitive, which is something not every young band achieves. There is still room for improvement, of course, but the band can already get some very interesting sequences together and I shall certainly be looking forward to hearing a full-length sequel from Doxomedon.
