The music and the lyrics deal with the usual topics of darkness, melancholy, inner struggles… you know the usual, nothing aggressive, but Sunless Days deal with this topics in a way that doesn’t depress you to the point of wanting to end your existence. The album is quite cheerful, not too cheerful; it just has the right elements to make it interesting and fun to listen.

If we must, we have to say it’s a nice mix of Tiamat and Crematory, right in the middle you will find Beseech. The male vocals sound very similar to Johan Edlund (Tiamat) and for some reason Lotta Höglin (female vocals) sounds from time to time a lot like Tori Amos, just listen to the first track Innerlane and you will see what I mean.

This is a very solid album, with great arrangements and inspiring melodies through out the record, Sunless Days has some nice electronic sounds, as well as pianos and other instruments and sounds that take every song to a higher level.
I really enjoyed this record, not just because is nice to get away from extreme, brutal metal once in a while, but because every song is catchy and beautifully played and that can never be a bad thing.

Some songs that stand out are: Innerlane, nice fast riffs and electronic atmospheres carry you through a journey inside Beseech idea of goth metal.
The Outpost, has a remarkable keyboard and unforgettable melodies, all of which create a sort of slumber song that picks up in the chorus to wake you up and takes you back down, quite nice tempo changes, nothing forced on this song.

Devil's Plaything is a Danzing cover, nicely done, starts slow and gentle until the hard rock guitars make their appearance and transform the cover into a Beseech creation.
I recommend this album for people with an open mind and looking for a way to rest from extreme metal while listening to some beautiful music.
