PALIMPSESTS by Vin de Mia Trix
PALIMPSESTS is an album about archetypes, the stories and characters that exist deep inside our collective subconsciousness, stories so significant and influential that they appear in various peoples' and cultures' mythology. Concepts like rebirth through sacrifice, stealing knowledge from the gods, or the great cleansing flood can be found anywhere from Hinduism through Ancient Greek myths to Christianity, proving their importance in shaping societies and civilizations. These stories are told to this day, and here we retell them once again, adding to the eternal cycle.
"Whether it be through the use of organs in "Pharmakos" or the masterful blend of clean and harsh vocals all across the album; Palimpsests presents in a victorious manner."

VdMT is a band from Kyiv, Ukraine, formed in late 2007. Their music is a blend of different doom metal subgenres with elements of other styles. Lengthy mid-tempo opuses with crushing funeral riffs morphing into melancholic acoustic passages create mysterious and dark atmosphere, inspired by the moods and sounds that dominated Scandinavian metal scene in mid-1990s.
