Review by Mike McFall

Mystic Circle's album, Dark Passion, is a powerful and intense display of black metal at its finest. The album is a masterful blend of aggressive riffs, pounding drums, and haunting melodies, all woven together into a dark and brooding tapestry of sound.

From the opening track, "Eternal Flame," the listener is transported into the world of Mystic Circle, a world of darkness and despair, where the only solace to be found is in the music itself. The album's title track, "Dark Passion," is a standout, with its driving rhythm and eerie, atmospheric keyboards.

Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is impeccable, with each member contributing to the overall sound in their own unique way. The vocals, in particular, are a highlight, with frontman Graf von Beelzebub delivering his lyrics with a raw, guttural intensity that perfectly complements the music.

Summary by Mike McFall

Dark Passion is a must-listen for fans of black metal, and a testament to the power of music to transport listeners to another world. Whether you're a longtime fan of Mystic Circle or a newcomer to the genre, this album is not to be missed.
