Symphonic Gothic Metal | CBR@192/VBR~215kbps | 72+72 Mb
Sunterra is a very high-energy symphonic gothic metal band from Austria with female, death and black vocals.
The female vocals are smooth, ephemeral and somewhat background, and add yet another dimension of beauty to the melodies. The male vocals are a combination of death-style growls and black-style rasps, and they are harsh, aggressive and menacing. Sometimes they play off the female vocals and sometimes they all sing together. The production is very satisfying - not as full and symphonic as Tristania, but still rich and warm with solid bass.
