The mourning has ended… May the Exorcisms begin…
…
The latest E.P. by U.K’ s very own dark/goth act Her Despair is here to stay…’ Exorcisms of Eroticism ‘. The follow-up to their debut ‘ Mournography ‘ in 2018 saw the dark light of day at the end of last year… Six goth rock anthems that capture the inner depths of our dark souls. Over twenty minutes of dramatic melodies that lead us into the labyrinth of the dark, erotic and dogmatic world…
The first Exorcism is about to begin… Pandaemonium… The first taste of what will follow… A dark orchestral tune… A crescendo of guitars, keyboards and a powerful drumbeat with the deep haunting vocals of James… An alluring pandaemonium is in the air…
The title track follows in a more upbeat tone leading us to the dark and smoky dancefloor… Exorcisms of Eroticism… Highlight of the E.P. The goth rock hit…… A very catchy melody with dominant keyboards, guitars and a chorus you just can’t miss…
The Exorcism continues… In That Moment… A slower and more atmospheric melody… A lovesong about heartache and yearning… Dramatic keyboards entwined with the intense realms of James…” We are just a flicker in time “…the opening line to this dark gem…
Like A Crucifixion follows rising us from the depths of sorrow and despair… Another goth rock hit which will lead us to the dark dancefloor.. A steady uplifting beat with dominant guitar riffs and keyboards… ” As we dance into the resurrection” …
The Exorcism is nearly complete… Beyond the Veil… A dark and gloomy track yet filled with a very touching melody… A concoction of acoustic and electric guitar riffs and keyboards… The line ” Lift the veil from your face ” captures the entire atmosphere of this goth gem… These words say it all…
Final Rest… The Exorcism is about to end… Another ballad about heartache and yearning… Another lovesong… Melodic keyboards and guitars end our short journey through the labyrinth of the dark… A very moving tune and perfect way to complete the Exorcism… Final rest…
Exorcisms of Eroticism.. Her Despair… The Exorcism has ended for now… One of the best goth rock releases of 2019.. One of the most promising new UK goth acts to emerge on the scene in the last few years… The 69 Eyes… meets Type O Negative… meets HIM…
…These goth rockers have a lot more to offer to music fans of the world..Stay tuned… Exorcisms of Eroticism is a must for dark romantic music fans… so don’t miss it…
