User Album Review
There are so many ideas and experiments going on within the songs that some may find it to be too overwhelming or jumbled all over the place. And that’s entirely understandable. This isn’t by any means your run-of-the-mill black metal album with some melody thrown in here and there. With Venereal Dawn, Dark Fortress have embraced their creative side. Does it work out for the better? That entirely depends upon the listener’s preference. There’s a really strong Opeth/Enslaved vibe coming off from the music, so if you enjoy those bands, chances are that you’ll probably enjoy this. If you’re looking for an interesting take on the black metal genre, even if it does break a couple unspoken rules, then you’ll also likely enjoy this. If you’re seeking out that black metal album, the one to completely change the scope of things, or if you disliked the past few records from these guys, then this album is probably not the right one for you. Even so, however, Venereal Dawn is worth at least one listen, if only to find which side of the spectrum you fall underneath.
Review Summary: Dark Fortress bite off slightly more than they can chew. sputnikmusic.com
