Southern Gothic Metal
BLOSSOM DEATH (2018) is a rather new addition to the mighty Greek music scene. The band
BLOSSOM DEATH describe themselves as having American Southern rock music and Goth influences as well as other touchstones of rock and metal. While these particular American Southern Rock influences are a bit difficult to discern, they do offer up some hard rockin’ tunes similar to
Lizzy Hale and
Evanescence.
“Mistaken” is the lead single on this 3 song EP.
Kostas and
Marita do the singing in this group and they sing well together; this is a good thing as they are married so this makes the
BLOSSOM DEATH band a real family affair. “
All That I Want” leans into their
Evanescence stylings while serving up some Goth undertones. “
All That I Want” also features slide guitar while
Kostas and
Marita co-lead again on the vocals.
“Pad Out” brings a driving beat, some hot guitar playing and
Marita’s lovely vocalizing. At under 13 minutes this release ‘
MISTAKEN’ just flys right by.
BLOSSOM DEATH is appearing at their release party February 9, 2020 at
Bums – Blackbird Underground Music Stage in Athens.
Sirius and
Dreamlord are also playing, so swing on by and celebrate some new music. For additional information see their Facebook page linked below. For you cool kids that want some bangin’ hang music, check out my Spotify playlist which includes my reviewed bands ¡!
