The rhythmic rousing, due to Goteborg guitars not at all dark Melodic Death Metal (the label calls it Deathcore) of the Italians doesn't fit to their lyrical and optical horror ambitions.

    I am Dracula (Video) (Data Track)

by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (08.04.2008) The Italian horror movie has some tasty skeletons in the closet: only for superficial watchers, the strong sexualised force is a contradiction to the highly catholic nationality. No wonder that with Death SS, this genre was early (1977) taken up by a Metal band with cabaret like gestures. In this tradition also stands Stigma, whose lyrics and artwork pleasurably plays with the stereotypes of Dracula, werewolves and Gothic Novel-clichees. Musically, however, there is no affinity to Gothic or Industrial observable – like in Steve Sylvester’s band. Also Vampire-Black Metal or King Diamond’s theatrical, classic sound was no inspiration. Often hectic, Melodic Death Metal with a Swedish guitar note (Dimension Zero,...) is the basis for some moderate keyboard effects and modern rhythms. Fortunately, the short intros do not get out of control in Mortician-way and steal the attention for the songs.
