As You're Vanishing In Silence
[Cold Meat Industry]
This first album of All My Faith Lost... seems to confirm a new trend started by the label Cold Meat Industry on their last compilation "Flowers Made of Snow". Indeed, the joint release of this opus and the one of Olen'K seems to show a slight turn towards lighter and more melancholic musics, which clash a bit with the dark and sticky ambiances the label got us used to. Looking forward to seeing the confirmation of this tendency with future signatures, the Italian duo offers us an album who, even if it doesn't revolutionize the wintery acoustic trip, is yet sweetly appreciated. Like a good wine you already tasted and liked a hundred times over, All My Faith Lost... still do their hieratic ballads started at the beginning of the 90s by Ordo Equitum Solis, Bel Am, Aurora Sutra (second era) or more recently Gothica. A well known ground on which grow the same arpeggios of classical guitars, the same piano strokes, a well indicated route with strings and diaphanous vocals (like Chako/Jack Or Jive), wich still manages to carry us in a conventional melancholy. We might reproach the duo their lack of originality rubbing up against the clichés, some track a bit soporific and surely many other things, but the result is there : we come off of "As You're Vanishing in Silence" appeased and please to have listened to almost one hour of melancholic and reassuring softness. And believe us, this excuses the naïvetes found on this album.
