Unkindness Of Ravens "The Perfect Dark" Review


 Offaly/Tipperary natives Unkindness Of Ravens offer an extremely unique and original brand of Post Rock/Goth Rock, they originally formed in 2012 as a trio under the moniker  Road Rash and later in 2015 expanded to a five piece, Thus far the band have released an EP Wolftrap Mountain and two albums Under Stolen Skies and this their newest offering The Perfect Dark.

 Most the lyrical content has elements of Druidic and Pre-Christian Irish mythology while also touching on real life experiences,this is what makes the aesthetics of the band so unique; The fusion of the vast array of styles through out the album is another element that puts a spotlight on the band,the Organ/Synth passages courtesy of Danielle Egan are extremely hypnotic and captivating,the heartfelt passionate vocals of Darren Keegan are dramatic,melancholic and somewhat awe-inspiring, there's plenty of words i could use to portray how fantastic this album is but they wouldn't do it justice you'll just have to listen to it yourself.  Of the thirteen tracks on offer there's plenty of standout moments for the listener to get drawn in and never want to leave,repeat listens are a must.

Unkindness Of Ravens have significantly raised the standard from their previous release and have left an undenaible mark on this person,this is an album well worth investing your time in and definitely worth purchasing,it's a truly monumentally epic masterpiece, one of the best albums i've heard so far this year.This is a band that may well be destined for an absolutely fantastic future.
