The Mission

Highlight are a French band from Marseille. This 5 track Promo / demo CD is the band's second release recorded in August 2002.
The band is a four piece featuring ex-members of Flavor, Serpice and Unsound. The band plays mid to fast paced melodic rock creating really good catchy melodies. Most of the reviews of the first demo compared them heavily to the Queens of the Stone Age and this Demo is moving perhaps a bit more away from that sound although it is still heard on "Just Like a Match" and "3507".

Voted top Gothic Rock act in the Gothic Underground New Zealand Readers Poll. The songs are all strikingly good, all well written and distinctive melodically, sharing a full sweeping sound and a resemblance to dark Gothic rock, in particular Fields Of The Nephilim and Disintegration-era The Cure.

====================================================
Kiwi goth? Well, not exactly since these guys from New Zealand are actually offering a blend of guitar-oriented goth rock a la the Mission or the Cult (Love-era) and melodic rock structures. All in all, this works well, although I doubt it will find a large public: real death- or goth rockers will find this one much too soft & mellow & fans of ordinary rock will consider them a bit weird or just a little too dark. Nevertheless, this album should appeal to anyone who is into catchy or poppy Goth rock.
