Band: Cryptic Tales Title: VII Dogmata of Mercy Year Released: 2009 Reviewer: Terry Bunch Rating: 8
Symphonic black metal in the vein of Dimmu Borgir blended with some death metal styled guitar work. The band have been around for 20 years and this
release sees the band finally reaching what they have been striving for. This CD is great and the music grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go.
Originally released by Empire Records in Poland only, Crash Music has reissued it outside of Poland. In doing so, Crash Music has unleashed upon the
world an intense and powerful creature of destruction, VII: Dogmata of Mercy. While not bringing anything unique to the genre, Cryptic Tales deliver
the goods and have produced a great symphonic black metal CD.
