Reviews EARTHCORPSE - THE TASTE OF SIN - SHIVER
Based out of a small island on the channel between France and England, the five piece formerly known as Insurrection and signed to Peaceville, has put out a CD very much similar to My Dying Bride and Anathema. This should instantly tell you that I don't like it. You'd be right, except for the fact that the band keep things completely 'metal' by excluding such idiotic gimmicks as K&F (keyboards and Female Vocals), top hats and corporate face paint. The music is rather simplistic and maintains its plodding pace until near the end where a track tagged to the end ventures into the industrial, but despite the somewhat weaker vocals the Taste of Sin should not be too bad a choice for fans of the British doom sound. Otherwise worth mentioning is the well thought out/ attractive CD booklet enclosed. - Ali "The Metallian"
