A Glasgow rooted doom metal band forged during March 1994.Previous to this the bulk of the band members had operated inImmortal Rites. As Serenade they heralded their arrival with thedemo tape 'Let Loose The Beauty Within'. The band hit trouble afterthe second album 'The Chaos They Create'. The band decided to splitwith Deviation records and had a hard time finding a new suitablelabel the band also suffered major internal turbulence. GuitaristGerry Magee broke away and bass player Stephen Mitchell relocatedto Aberdeen. The band now trimmed down to a trio kept doing musicand they soon headed back to the studio. Three new tracks wererecorded and released with the title `Plague Of Time' on their ownGolden Lake Productions label. `Depth Of The Bleeding Angel´ kicksoff with a slight eastern feel, and when the singing enters thefray, the first few bars actually reminds a little of Hawkwind.However shortly after, the singer swallows a wasp and the rest ofthe demo is pretty much grunt-happy. The vocals fall more into theDeath Metal category of grunting with Chris Barnes springing tomind, not necessarily a bad thing. Taken as a whole, `Plague OfTime´, is refreshingly original. Serenade do not really follow thetraditional British slant on Doom Metal, although the tracks dohave a slight touch of early My Dying Bride, but in my opinionthey´re more rooted in what the rest of Europe do with their darkeremotions. The tracks are heavy and meander from full on power tomore moody introspection, with the singer seeming to be looking outof windows or something on `Casting The Flesh/Say Hello To Hell´.Overall the sound could do with a little tweaking, the guitarsoccasionally seem a little flat, but for a self financed projectthis is a minor gripe.
