Darklife Magazine (#11)

Some of the highest quality gothic-horror soundtrack type music is included in this album, the 7th full-length release by this Ohio based duo, who have built an impressive reputation with one album after the other of fantastic works. The 13th Hour sports a maturity in the duo's compositions that surpasses any work they have done so far. It sounds a bit odd to say that, since their previous works (which we have had the honor to review at Darklife) are all outstanding albums as well. Orchestrations in The 13th Hour reach epic dimensions, re-creating the purest gothic atmospheres ever committed to score. Haunting passages, mysterious shadows in the night, the mansion is sinister and seducing at the same time. It's grandiose and magnificent, it's imposing, it holds secrets of generations, it's chilling and menacing. A fantastic nighttime opus, one that will titillate your darkest fantasies, offering visions out of a world that is long gone.
