Genre: Dark Soundtrack
Antique combines elements of Classical / Symphony, Death Metal, and Dark Music. Its audience is similar to that of Dark Music, Darkwave, Gothic, and Doomdeath. It can be well classified as Soundtrack as the structure of the music is comparable to music used in movies.
We prefer the term "Dark Soundtrack" as it is most descriptive of the music. Here are some other possibilities for classification:
1. Soundtrack
2. Dark
3. Doomdeath
If no other genre applies, file under Metal
Short Description
A sorrowful tale of a burdened life expressed through dark ambiences perturbed with unforgiving aggressions of death.
Long Addition
The soundscapes of Book One are an emotional blend of classical subtlety and metallic force engendered by haunting strings, aroused by churning guitars, and awoken by chaotic vocals.
