For those who don't know, here is the second album of the czech band Ador Dorath, which plays a particularly seducing atmospheric dark/death. In fact, 'Symbols' is a subtile, racé and elegant album. By distiling delicate vocal melodies and mixing them with the typical agressivity of death metal, the band has knew how to renew and refresh a genre, saturated by a countless number of more or less established bands, as Sirenia, Tristania or After Forever, to quote these bands among many others. The talent of these czech musicians can be heard through the nine songs which compose this record. Come to that, the czech adage "what czech so musician" ("To cech to muzikant") seems to be confirmed on those tracks, which have a huge musical intensity. The sing of Lenka Machova is of rare beauty and the technic level of the musicians is phenomenal. Every title has its own identity, no presence of an unpleasant linearity, no stop : all is so good realised that man has the feeling to float on a cloud. Beyond the "classic" songs, we can also find some more contemporary ones with some samples which are a bit "technoïd" and some futuristic keyboards (especially on "Mountain"). There are songs for all the tastes : quick and heavy ("Rosa", "Vitriol") or slower and quiet ("Desert"). I'm not a great fan of this music style, but I must say that Ador Dorath made me an excellent impression and that 'Symbols' is an album which is important to point out as one of the albums of the year on the atmospheric dark metal scene. This cd is superb, in spite of some little youth mistakes, which don't erase all the intrinsic qualities of 'Symbols'. The band has gained a point to travel the european frontiers...
