I have a kind of empathy for Czech Republic so I searched in the wwweb for a Czech metal band. I found this gem and I confess: this is was my biggest discovery of “unknown metal”. Played Moonspell and Samael covers in the early times Ador Dorath (AD) manage to have present in their music the darkness of these bands. AD is a 7-piece band with superior musical skill that owns an unique style. Successfully combining black, symphonic, goth, folk and dark metal, they classify themselves on their website as “obscure psychotic mysteries". Their main lyrics themes are nature and paganism which contributes to a kind of an epic sound. With guitar, bass guitar, and keyboard, all the players have accomplished their objective – the good work! The album has some very catchy/appealing elements even though the album doesn’t have much "solo time". The bass can be heard and as the dual guitar, it’s used greatly! The keyboard and synths creates an incredible dark atmosphere that you can see in the whole album. Basically, remarkable! The drummer does a good job with breakdowns, a lot of double bass, and blast beats. Let’s check this great album that came out at the end of April of 2002. The best and the heaviest song of the album is “Garden of Earthy Pleasures” which is downloadable it from their website. It starts with the drummer playing a punk-like beat that then “ascends” to with strong double bass. The two vocalists, Ivoš Dosedìl (the male vocals) and Lenka Machová (the female vocals), do a nice job of this. Still, their best performance is in “Circle” and “Hail to Majesty”. The first one remembers Samael or Satyricon rasps with complex riffs and the keyboard is bringing up greatly. “Hail to Majesty” has a name that fits the content! The atmosphere, the nature theme lyrics and the introducing of the harpsichord take this track to the highest degree. While Dosedìl applies screams, growls and clean (few) vocals into the music Machová employs an opera style like Tarja, ex-Nightwish. These dualities between male and female voices create an interesting sound and give a dissimilar personality to the band. “Arcana artis” (2nd track) is an instrumental track that contributes to the dark and interesting atmosphere while is connecting the “Ubique daemon” (a good opener) to “Metamorphoses”, which is a well worked deep dark emotional song. “Pharmakopoeia” is different and it’s stunning, another epic sound like song. Some tracks have Czech lyrics like “Adon nin edeleth ador dorath” (entirely) and “Ubique daemon” (some parts). “Adon nin edeleth ador dorath” is the slower one and can be considerate a chapter of reflection with the female vocals going along with the harsh vocals. All the songs have a complex and different structure with many elements and ideas that together came out well, turning every song different and the opposite of annoying. The score could get higher if they didn’t include the “bonus” track, which is completely superfluous in my opinion (sounds like a stupid instrumental rap). An amazing job for a band that released this without a label, but is now re-edited by Shindy Productions.
