Melodic Doom Fans, Take Note April 13, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I might be one of a small crowd who seriously misses the days of Katatonia's "Brave Murder Day" (nothing against the new Katatonia -- it's also great stuff). Daylight Dies has captured that dark, nostalgic vibe and made it even better with excellent production, more emphasis on harmonies and melodies, and none of that drum machine nonsense.
I hope these guys see some serious success after this release. They proved to be decent on the previous albums, but this one pushes them into one of the top "doom" bands out there.
Another beautiful work.... March 13, 2006

All I have to say is "wow!" There's nothing better to describe this album as once again Daylight Dies prove that truly melodic music CAN mix w/ metal if it's done right. If you liked their previous effort 'No Reply,' then 'Dismantling Devotion' ranks right up there, maybe even above it! It's definitely heavier than 'No Reply,' and new vocalist Nathan Ellis fits in perfectly where Guthrie Iddings left off on the last recording. Great album; don't hesitate to check it out, even if you didn't get to hear the previous one. This is melodic doom/death metal at it's finest.
A Leap Forward For Metal! March 24, 2007

I can't tell you how much this album had impacted my life. Yet another band that made a big difference in my life. Daylight Dies is purely dark, melancholic and beauty at the same time. The music crafted is extremely touching to my soul. I listen over and over and over again every single day. For the first time in my life I have found another band that had helped me in my time of need. The mixture of clean and harsh vocals adds to the overall sound of the band and gave it a dark evil gothic tone. I am currently in search of dark gothic metal music because of what I am going thru in my life. Dark and evil cultures gives me the power and strength to live my life stronger than ever. In addition to the vocals the composition and song writing from both guitar player for this incredible album instills the listener with enormous amount of emotions. I am an emotional person so this affected me tremendously in my daily life. I just don't know how they came up with such a melodic and yet melancholic guitar melodies. It sticks in my head and soul and gave me a boost everytime the songs are played. Daylight Dies is my savior!

One of the best new American death/doom metal bands out there, these guys came out of nowhere and have become one of my favorite new bands....playing a very dense, melodic, and melancholy brand of metal similiar in style to Opeth or Katatonia, Daylight Dies nonetheless inject a fresh and hypnotic density to their material that manages to make them sound like something new altogether.
Probably taking notes from Opeth, "Dismantling Devotion" is a dense, layered, and superbly produced epic of an album. The band alternates heavy, throbbing repetitive rifs and death metal vocals against beautiful ethereal classically-influenced clean tone guitar arrangements and guitar-driven harmonies and soft, lush vocals to great effect. Dark, foreboding and mournful lyrics accompany the music perfectly. Very compelling, mesmerizing and addictive stuff. I can't recommend this enough for fans of the genre, and can't wait to hear a new album.
