The Palace Of Tears
Veiled Screen, Woven Dream
New Orleans
 
With their new album on the wing, The Palace Of Tears opens its doors and allows the rabble in to enjoy another meaningful escape into darkwave and shoegaze electro. Fans of Chelsea Wolfe and Alcest can be pleased to discover something for them in the multi-faceted sound offered by this semblance of cerebral song-makers. The title track of the record is presented with a splendid music video that’s been recorded, mixed and conjured by Erick r Scheid at Chateau of the Crying Myst in New Orleans. A dedication to her late brother Kirk, singer and lyricist LV Darkling composed the album and song in loving memory to a treasured time and human being.
 
A subtle tone brings out atmosphere and tension before a cymbal strike gives way to deep bass synth and shimmering gothic guitar. A surge of energy and sombre sensations leaps forward from behind a velvet cloak, claws outstretched, and fangs revealed, a shift into cabaret and opera culminates the image. Massive reverb and sudden plunges of emotional clarity send the music into vortices of passion as the vocal delivers a sadness infused journey into the sunken depths of human sorrow. Elements of rock meet punchy goth tangents of synthesiser as diva vocals crest the wave of fervour in ever intensifying ranges of exquisitely controlled grief.
