User Album Review
Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten, there’s no particular track that makes this a must-have album, though there are moments that entertain enough to keep you listening – The arcade game melody that propels “Pitch Black Box” dangerously close to Vesania territory and the unhinged screeching effect that lurks behind “The Possession Process” bringing to mind Hellwell, are just two examples of what this troupe have in store for you.
Carach Angren have taken their similarity to Dark Tranquility, Dimmu Borgir and Vesania and applied it to frightful atmosphere, uplifting piano melodies and vivid symphonic passages with a healthy dose of corpse paint and melodrama. Though not essential, and somewhat overlong, Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten is good none-the-less, and the more I hear this album, the more the songs root themselves into my cranium. The concept, a girl playing with a Ouija board seemed a little thin at first, but Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten ends up being a memorable album, built around a series of obscure and interesting stories that on their own have prompted me to read further.
