One should not be fooled by the name of the band and the album cover: Vin de Mia Trix are Ukrainians and make Doom Metal, even though one may suspect until something else. Since 2007 Vin de Mia Trix already exist, until 2009 one however has done, how to achieve a stable line-up and only now they released the debut album, the album cover but suggesting what to expect: A walk to Ying and Yang reminiscent motif with a man and a woman, opposites collide to each other. These risks include, once hidden from sight repeated contrast of classic Doom Metal in the vein of My Dying Bride and other facets that appear sometimes more, sometimes less typical.

This can be fragile realm guitar game that fluctuates between positive and melancholic or sudden trips to Death Metal. But the singing varies between ill-elegiac, grunting but also dreamy. The guitars seem at times to bubble to himself and remove himself from the strong backbone, this still seems to be always in sight. Any deviation seems conclusive and for the development to go, even if you will also be surprised by some of the musical breaks.

Overall prove Vin de Mia Trix how modern Doom Metal should sound, so it is a clear recommendation. Since the album was released for download from the band in addition to the physical form also free at Bandcamp, there is actually no reason to miss out on the album.
