Season of Melancholy β In Sleep Review By KenstrosityIβm on a romantic music kick lately, and who can really say why. Itβs always been a flavor that I crave deeply in the music I frequent, but so often that craving is left unsatisfied or only partially sated. But Ukrainian goth rock/post punk quintet Season of Melancholy arenβt about to let me go before giving me everything I want, right? Bleeding hearts, sultry melodies, stories of heartbreak and of yearning, and dark atmospheres supported by bouncy tunes have been a part of their sound since inception over a decade ago. With one LP under their belt so far, follow-up In Sleep promises even sharper hooks, bigger choruses, and crunchier tones. Can they make me swoon?
After a slew of singles to foreshadow the release of In Sleep, a clear focus on accessibility and immediacy sharpens. Bridging the gaps between Mana-era Unto Others, AFI, Dead or Alive, and HIM, Season of Melancholy balance downtuned guitars with bright synths, danceable beats and a sultry baritone that stirs the loins. These are songs that could easily break into the charts but still maintain a dark character, and strategically placed metallic heft helps attract fans of harder music. A few instances of native Ukrainian make an appearance, though I would have loved to hear more as it meshes beautifully with this sound. On the production front, In Sleep is modernβperhaps too polishedβand quite loud. That said, it boasts a balanced, bassy mix and isnβt so cluttered with instrumentation that its paltry dynamic range causes too much stress on my ears.
At a tight 43 minutes, In Sleep gets in and gets out, but not without leaving you breathing heavy from dancing all night long first. High-energy romps βInmate,β βKeep the Night,β βΠ’.Π.Π§.Π.Π―.,β βWay Out,β and βDown in Rageβ bring metallic tones to the dancefloor, fortified by choruses so sticky in the moment that they might pull your shoes right off your feet. Though this material isnβt chock full of shreddy solos or boisterous riffs, pumping chugs and a clanky bass tone still move mountains as they groove and shove their way in between that buttery smooth baritone. Fun synthy incidentals embellish songs like βFarewell Song,β βGhost,β and βBorn in Liesβ to offset their more mid-paced amble and create points of interest in spaces that would otherwise feel sparse and unfinished. And, while some of these songs are already a few years old, In Sleep is remarkably cohesive without feeling too repetitive.
That said, there is a strange sense of monotony that creeps in after multiple spins. Avoiding the dreaded pit of self-plagiarism by a thin hair, Season of Melancholyβs songwriting carries a consistent ABABCB structure that almost never shifts or shuffles. Thereβs a lot a band can do even inside that restricted chain to bring high heat to the affair, and any kind of exploration outside of it brings out more flavor, novelty, and excitementβboth things that In Sleep lacks to varying degrees. As such, this record slots comfortably alongside releases from the aforementioned comparison points, but takes the safest route to get there. Consequently, most of the material presented here outside of a few of its best moments arenβt going to make it to long-term rotation.
Still, In Sleep offers good, clean fun to audiences looking for something easily digestible and universally approachable. Itβs heavy and chunky enough to earn the favor of metalheads unbothered by accessibility or poppy sensibility, too. However, itβs safe, derivative of many of its peers/influences, and lacks staying power. Were it blessed with more adventurous structures or bolstered by a wide array of hooky riffs or other substantial instrumental spotlights, In Sleep wouldβve earned a much higher score. As it is, itβs worth a listen or two and its best songs feel right at home on playlist duty. Whether it goes farther than that depends on the listener, and mileage may vary.

Wailin Storms β The Arsonist Review By Creeping Ivy
Upon making landfall on the shores of AMG, Southern goth rock outfit Wailin Storms stirred up strong sentiments in our esteemed staff. Madam X praised this Texas-turned-North Carolina quartetβs One Foot in the Flesh Grave (2015) for its βoddly dark and tricksyβ swirl of Danzig and 16 Horsepower. Since this (Great) debut, subsequent squalls have been weaker but still potent. Cherd found Rattle (2020) a moving, if unvaried, gust of βdark psychedelic twang,β while The Silver Snake Unfolds (2022) blew fresh air into the bandβs βfire-and-brimstone snake handling speaking in tongues nightmare music.β 1 In the Year of Our Lord 2026, Wailin Storms play The Arsonist on their new home, Season of Mist. Conjuring a conflagration for their fifth album, these Durham doom-punk goth rockers may once again set fire to the Score Safety Counter.
The Arsonist stokes the shift Wailin Storms started around Rattle. There, the band refined their swampy pastiche into a more measured fusion of their influences. Past outings in this idiom suffered from songwriting redundancy and sore-thumb tracks. The Arsonist, however, proceeds as a dynamically-sequenced, organically-produced dance between barn burners and smoldering pits. βDead Endβ ignites the album with the darkly driving guitar enmeshments of Justin Storms and Ben Melton. Meanwhile, βYou Never Answeredβ bursts with spasmodic rhythms from drummer Mark Oates and bassist Steve Stanczyk. Even when the fires abate, Wailin Storms bring the heat. βHeart of Mineβ and βThe Arsonistβ excel at slow-burn setups with sizzling sendoffs, singeing the skin from within. Whether in the energetic or meditative category, the songs consistently hit the spot, feeling wrought to just the right degree. At 45 minutes, The Arsonist breathes when it needs to and scorches when it wants to.
The apex of this blaze are the vocals of Justin Storms, who mightily impresses with his range. Stormsβs wail has recalled Glenn Danzig since Flesh Grave, and it continues to power some affecting choruses (βYou Never Answered,β βThe Arsonistβ). Subsequent releases, however, have seen the frontman branch out beyond the Shirtless Wonder. On The Arsonist, Storms incorporates stylings akin to the silky mid-range of Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) and the alien warbling of Thom Yorke (Radiohead). On that latter reference: Stormsβs voice, at its most tender and brittle, brilliantly inflects somber material that wouldnβt sound out of place on Hail to the Thief (βHeart of Mine,β βItβs All Dark Now Where Your Eyes Used to Beβ). He even dips into some down nβ dirty blues moans, mixed with a flitting falsetto (βSavedβ). Storms is not the only voice on The Arsonist, though; Melton melts faces with aggro shouts, imbuing the blues rock with a noisy edge (βDead End,β βNever Restβ).2 As thrilling a display as Iβve heard in 2026, The Arsonist stands as a surefire frontrunner for Vocal Performance oβ the Year.3
Criticisms of The Arsonist are minimal and wispy, affording opportunities for further praise. Lighting a spark and growing into a flashover, The Arsonist does falter a tad in its pre-decay transition. βPatient Nightβ pleases with fun, shaker-fueled shimmies, but itβs a bit simplistic and truncated, comparatively speaking. Following this tune is βThe Wind,β a more expansive number possessing sweet pseudo-metal punctuations. Its subdued ending, however, feels like a slightly redundant transition into the excellent closing piano ballad (βItβs All Dark Nowβ¦β). Another nitpick concerns lyrics. The Arsonist excels at marrying emotional realism with surrealist imagery. But one moment always sticks out: the punk ending of βNever Rest,β where Storms snarls an equally punk rallying cry (βFuck your fucking warβ¦Fuck your fucking warβ). Iβm no puritan when it comes to profanity, and I like a good protest song as much as the next guy. Alas, something about these lyrics momentarily takes me out of the albumβs arrestingly eerie aura.
Extinguishing these critical flamelets reveals a Safety Counter set ablaze. After three attempts, I didnβt think Wailin Storms would ever again produce an album as great as One Foot in the Flesh Grave. The Arsonist proved me wrong, though itβs greatness is of a different kind. Whereas Flesh Grave grounds its twists and turns in Danzigian blues rock/metal, The Arsonist enchants with its seamless shifts between combustible laments and fiery bangers. Arson may be a crime, but missing out on The Arsonistβwhether youβre a longtime fan or a newcomer to Wailin Stormsβwould be the real crime.

It's snowing and I'm still very ill, so my #albumoftheday is a comfort listen. Cemetery Skyline is a supergroup of musicians from the Swedish and Finnish extreme metal scenes, so naturally they released a gothic rock album :D And their debut, simply named "Nordic Gothic", quickly became a favourite of mine. Give it a spin.

πΆ HΓΆre gerade das neue Album "Trickery" von THEN COMES SILENCE aus Schweden. Ich finde das jetzt nicht mehr so prall. Ich denke es liegt nicht am Weggang des einen Bandmitglieds. Das klingt fΓΌr mich in Teilen sehr amerikanisiert, seit die 2022/2023 erstmals in den USA getourt sind. Kommt lange nicht an deren ersten Alben ran. Auch zum letzten Album "Hunger" sehe ich stilistisch einen deutlichen Abstand. Schade! π Und Ihr?
