History Not to be confused with the German thrash act, these guys hailed from Sweden and released one album on Candlelight. The band was active between 1992 and 1998. Scars In Dismal Icons was a 1995 demo. Per the rules, the band returned in 2016. Amazingly, the line-up had remained steady. An old recording called Hail Down Deep from 1998 was due for release as of then. Instead, the band began intermittently recording a new album in 2019 and again in 2021. Manifestum Infernalis was the 2023 album. Tommy Grönberg was replaced by Henrik Serholt on the mike and John Silver on bass.
Reviews FATAL EMBRACE - SHADOWSOULS' GARDEN - CANDLELIGHT
One of two new releases on Britain's Candlelight Records, Sweden's
Fatal
Embrace is a quartet whose debut CD was recorded just over a year ago
at
Studiomega. Adorned in a gothic jacket colour resembling that of
Morgoth's Cursed album, the Swedes present the type of melodic style
brought forth by the likes of In Flames and Ceremonial Oath. Fatal
Embrace is darker in its approach, weaving a shroud of forlorn
emptiness around the abundance of melody. There is no reproaching the
band's approach which is only let down by the odd use of vocals akin to
those of a drunken ghost. This vocalization is kept to a couple of
occasions with the rest of the album continuing the band's rough mix of
In Flames and Naglfar. This is recommended for seekers of both darkness
and melody. One note though, can anyone recall whether there have been
other bands with this name because it sounds familiar. - Ali "The
Metallian"
