Carpe Noctem - Schattensaiten (2016)

The second album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, violin, cello and vocals.

The band released their debut album Opus 2 back in 2013 and then this album three years later before they broke up.

The band, or their record label, labeled their music as strings metal.

That is label that should have made me laugh..... if it was not for this very accurate description of the music on this album and probably on their debut album too.

The musc is cello and violin playing gothic, melodic metal with some neo-classic music.

This is the kind of music that makes me turn of the speakers in disgust. And to be fair, the violins are not easy on the ears. Fifty minutes of this and both my ears want to apply for medical asylum in progland.

The music is still decent and this album comes across as both unusual and decent. 

I am not convinced. But those into goth neo-classical music with metal influences should check out this album.
