May 3rd was the release day for Painted Black’s debug album “Cold Comfort”… and what an album that is!
Painted Black was elected for 3 years in a row “Best Unsigned Act” on the Portuguese heavy metal magazine “Loud!”, and listening to the finished album, it’s easy to understand why.
Categorizing their music is hard, as it is a mixture of styles and influences; you have the agressiveness of death metal, combined with the melancholy and melody of doom metal and several others in-between…
The overall result is 55 minutes of the best music I’ve heard in a long time, capable of triggering emotions of an unusual range.
Special mention must be done to the first track (“Via Dolorosa”), which has an absolute kick-ass feel to it, and the last one (“Inevitability”), which is an extremely strong melodic and melancholic piece.
So head on to http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/blacktapestry<\/a> to listen to it, and don’t waste time ordering it, so that you support good music everywhere (this way, we might get rid of all the terrible “comercial” music out there!) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

To the Painted Black lads, I say: Well done… very well done indeed! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
