Style: keyboard laden black metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: Loss, beauty in death, lost love
Thoughts: Midnight Betrothed is an interesting project. It's like someone thought "hmm, I wonder how black metal would sound if I used piano as the primary instrument." It's an incredibly simple concept, and it's an incredibly simple execution as well.
The music is exactly what I expected if I read above. It's a piano playing for a majority of the demo's length and then some quiet black metal playing in the background. Neither the piano nor the black metal is of particularly high quality, it's simply content to be. Additionally, this is not a case of the sum being greater than the parts... this is just, kind of there.
Midnight Betrothed may evolve into something a bit more interesting in the future but on Bewitched by Destiny's Gaze they are not something that I find myself revisiting.
