Venus In The Dust - Cage of Bones

Review by Henry Omobolaji Ayinde

Venus In The Dust's album "Cage of Bones" is a dark and haunting journey through the depths of the human psyche. The band's unique blend of post-punk, gothic rock, and shoegaze creates a mesmerizing and atmospheric sound that draws the listener in from the very first track.

The opening song, "Ghost," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ethereal vocals, brooding basslines, and shimmering guitar riffs. From there, the band takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with songs like "Cage of Bones" and "Black Sun" showcasing the band's ability to create both heavy, driving rhythms and delicate, introspective moments.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Lovers," a haunting ballad that showcases lead singer Emily's haunting vocals and the band's ability to create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability in their music. The album's closing track, "The End," leaves the listener with a sense of catharsis and closure, bringing the journey to a satisfying conclusion.
