Artist: TENEBRARUM INFANTEUS
Album: Addiction
Year: 2007

Tenebrarum Infanteus is a band from France. The fact that they're from France isn't an understatement at all. A quick look on their MySpace shows me an all French biography, and as well the whole CD booklet is in French. Last but not least, all their tracks have French titles as well. So, whats there to explain for me... my French sucks, so lets just go on with the review of their debut EP 'Addiction'.

The release kicks off with 'Témoin Funèbre'. It opens with dark electronic FX sampling, soon to be followed by gentle guitars and dark, atmospheric keylines. The song mostly consists of gentle electronic samplings, distorted guitars and strong keylines. The diverse vocal lines (clean female vocals - grim male vocals) fit the song very well. 'Allégeance' has more experimental keylines. The vocal lines and the guitar riffs are blessed with a more brutal sound, without that the song loses it's accessable attitude. 'Chirurgie' opens with a heart machine. The song that comes afterwards is gentle and easy listening, with old school gothic metal parts mixed with EBM and dark electro parts. 'Symbiose' has the most disturbing as well experimental FX works of the release, which is spread all over the track. The song itself is pretty gentle, with decent guitars and recogniseable vocal lines. 'Qu'adviendrons nous'is surprisingly brutal when you compare it with the other tracks. It has future pop synthlines, strong guitars and dark vocal lines.

Tenebrarum Infanteus has delivered quite a stunning debut with their 'Addiction' EP. The songs are all build very decently, and the characteristic style they perform is recogniseable and accessable. I've heard less impressive debuts I can tell you! A good soundtrack for your cold and dark winter days.

Vote: 83 / 100
