11th As Light Dies #geaep2015 review (Metal Korner, ES) http://metalkorner.com/entrada/2016/02/17/2765/review-de-as-light-dies-y-su-%22gea%22 Aunque el proyecto se inició en 1998, no fue hasta 2003 cuando AS LIGHT DIES se completaron como banda. Con base en Madrid, pero con miembros de Guadalajara, durante los primeros años, la banda grabó 2 maquetas no oficiales, y luego fue en 2004 cuando graban su primera demo oficial, titulada 3 Views of an End: A Trip to Nowhere.

No es hasta mitad del pasado año 2015 cuando la banda decide editar el EP Gea, que contiene 4 temas y ronda los 20 minutos de duración.

Su estilo es totalmente inclasificable, ya que juegan con sonidos orquestales, black, death, doom, gothic, sinfónicos… incluyen instrumentos como violines, flautas barrocas, didgeridoos o buzukis. Para los más entendidos, podríamos decir que es una bandaAvant-Garde, totalmente experimental, con registros en la voz guturales (en este...
