Music reviews of Vampyre : Symphonies from the Crypt
Music Review: Good music for a theme that has to be hard to portray musically
Rating: 5 Stars
Every time I listen to Vampyre, it grows on me more and more. This album is excellent. The music is very spooky and passionate and intense and eerie all at the same time. There are a wide variety of melodies. No two tracks sound the same. One of the strengths of Midnight Syndicate's style of music is that it is more dark classical in nature, without an EXCESS of certain sounds that can liven up the songs, such as chimes, bells, and choirs. They use these sounds, but it's in moderation. I like listening to dark classical/gothic with lots of strings with an occasional accent in each song to liven things up. Midnight Syndicate does this well, and they never go overboard with sound effects.
I give Midnight Syndicate credit for having the courage to come up with music for a theme that I feel is probably difficult to portray musically. Coming up with music for an album with a broad vampyre theme that covers the full spectrum of vampyres is not easy. They did an excellent job. Here are the songs: Awakening (good opening atmospheric track), Graveyard (good atmospheric track), Unhallowed Ground (great organ), Crypt Of The Forsaken (eerie), Winged Fury (great melody and passionate), Blackest Rose (very ballad-like with a good melody), Ravages Of Time (melodic, driving, and spooky), Catacombs (ghostly), Unseen Eyes (good transition into Undead Hunters), Undead Hunters (driving rhythm and spooky, and has that "you better watch out" sound to it), Ancient Tomes (great melody and passionate), Dusk (spooky), Spectral Masquerade (good melody), and Vampyre (very dramatic, passionate, and melodic with great sound effects). My favorites are Unhallowed Ground, Winged Fury, Blackest Rose, Ravages Of Time, Catacombs, Undead Hunters, Dusk, Spectral Masquerade, and Vampyre.
This is an album that you can play on your stereo while watching a vampire movie with your TV on mute, and the music will fit right in with what you see on the screen. If you like such vampire movies as Salem's Lot (1979), Dracula (1979), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), then you should like this. All in all, a solid versatile album that I recommend to anybody who likes dark classical/gothic music that can be used for Halloween or any time you want to relax with great music and not be distracted by it. It's great music to listen to when you're driving down the freeway at twilight with the windows rolled down. Get this disc. You'll love it.
