That's right, the soundtrack to an official Hollywood horror movie. A movie that we will never see on the bigscreen since it's cancelled. It kinda fits with the music, a mysterious movie which we will never see but with a perfect soundtrack. This is Diabolical Masquerade's fourth album already. The previous three albums were nice attempts at mixing black and dark metal with a horror theme. "Nightwork", the third album was a good piece of work, but still had its flaws. "Death's Design" is the perfect follow-up since everything is improved. The main composer -Blakkheim (Katatonia)- even hired a small orchestra. Ex-Edge of Sanity-man Dan Swano also had his input. The album has 61 tracks which are divided into 20 parts. Most parts contain 4 tracks, and when played behind each other, they make a full song (don't do shuffle on this album). The orchestra is really good, no more cheesy keyboards anymore but real violins. The metal arrangements are a bit more progressive than before and not just straight black metal blast beats. The album has great riffs and the combined metal-orchestra parts are really well done. Don't miss the cool jazz and rock 'n roll guitar-solo's either. The vocals are mostly black metal style, but on two short tracks they used normal vocals which are really cool and add a great atmosphere to the music. For me this is a perfect example of good music. "Death's Design" is not only original but it also knows how to put some fresh air into a genre which has almost no interesting artists anymore. The new Diabolical Masquerade is a great album which every fan of refreshing and good metal should get. Niels van Rongen Diabolical Masquerade - Death's D...
