LOVELORN DOLLS - Deadtime Stories

Dark Stories and the Black Dreams That Follow: A Review of Deadtime Stories by Lovelorn Dolls

Brussels-based gothic metal act Lovelorn Dolls have highly polished, yet unique sound that instantly evokes feelings of being lost inside a haunted Victorian era dollhouse. This is in no small part due to Kristell Lowagie’s beautifully subdued vocals which she seasons with just a hint of an off-kilter delivery. 

Paired with guitarist Bernard Daubresse’s heavy riffs and catchy melodies, as well as darkly epic synth lines, the duo crafts a brand of goth rock that is deep and heavy with just enough pop sensibility to make for songs that beg for repeated listens.

Having discovered this band only recently I was happy to find that they’ve been around for over a decade, with quite a few albums and EP’s under their belt. There’s no doubt that I’m looking forward to fully diving into their back catalog in the coming days!
