Sometimes the task of finding good quality music forces me to wade into waters of which I am just not that familar with. All:My:Faults plays music that could be called darkwave, a eerie hard driving hybrid between goth, synth pop, and dark metal. While the music may seem as odd to me as the colons in the band’s and group member’s names it still comes down to the old adage, ‘I know what I like and I like this”.

The almost 20 minutes EP The Anger Manifest is a good place to start. Band members Steve:Kaia and Judas:Iscariot have a tight well-honed sound that is full of energy and angst. The two opening tracks, “Mirrors” and “Sand of Time”, are major attention getters. The other three tracks keeps the energy going and provides a good glimpse of the artists’ talents.

Secrets is a full album and provides a bit more variety. From the first track “Douchou” there is sense of musical cinema in this instrumental composition. However it seques into “All Forgotten in The Light” which reminds me of a dark Marilyn Manson chant. Throughout the album, light is not a descriptive term you will use much. Sorrow, forboding and night comes to mind more often. The 12 tracks on Secrets are a masterful journey into the dark reaches of the artists’ minds.
