Review by Golam Mostofa Muhammad Masum

Beauty In Darkness Classics: A Dark Symphony That Sticks With You Alright, let me tell ya—this album is a beast. Released back in 2002, Beauty In Darkness Classics by Various Artists isn’t your average rock compilation. It’s like someone took all the heavy stuff from Russia and Germany, threw it into a blender, and hit puree. The result? A chaotic mix of Black Metal, Doom Metal, Symphonic Rock, Gothic Metal—you name it. Labels like Not On Label and Nuclear Blast didn’t mess around with this one. They went full throttle. Now, I gotta say, there are some tracks here that just slap you across the face and refuse to leave your brain. Take “Wicked Game,” for example. Yeah, yeah, everyone knows the original, but this version? Holy crap, it’s haunting. The guitars sound like they’re weeping, and the vocals? Dude, they feel like shadows crawling up your spine. There’s something raw about how it builds—slow at first, almost teasing you, then BAM, it hits hard. Every time I hear it, I’m stuck between wanting to cry and wanting to scream. Weird combo, right? But that’s what makes it unforgettable. Then there’s “The Beauty In Black.” This track feels like stepping into a cathedral made of ice. Everything about it is cold yet beautiful—like staring at stars on a freezing night. The symphonic elements really shine here; it’s not just metal for the sake of being heavy. It’s layered, emotional, and kinda poetic if you ask me. You can almost picture gothic castles and foggy forests while listening. Honestly, after hearing this, I couldn’t stop humming the melody for days (even though my cat gave me weird looks). But hey, this album isn’t perfect. Some songs drag a little too long, and others feel like filler compared to bangers like “Wicked Game” or “The Beauty In Black.” Still, even those moments have their charm because the whole thing has this dark, moody vibe tying it together. Like, sure, maybe “Cold Seed” wasn’t life-changing, but it still added to the overall atmosphere. And sometimes, that’s enough. What gets me most about Beauty In Darkness Classics is how unapologetically intense it is. These genres—Black Metal, Goth Rock, Death Metal—they’re not for everyone. But man, when done well, they hit different. Listening to this feels like diving headfirst into a stormy ocean. You might drown, but damn, the view’s worth it. And here’s the kicker—I listened to this album late at night, alone, with rain pounding against my window. By the end, I realized something kinda funny. As dark as these songs are, they made me feel… alive. Like, super alive. Maybe that’s why music like this sticks around. It reminds us we’re human, even when we’re surrounded by chaos. So yeah, give this album a shot if you’re into heavy vibes and don’t mind getting lost in the gloom for an hour or two. Just don’t blame me if you start seeing ghosts afterward.
