Shattered Hope - "A View of Grief"
[Self-Financed, 2005]
Tracklist:

03. Wane
04. My Perfect Illusion
05. Hollow Promises
06. My Withering Soul
Shattered Hope is a Greek band. They were formed back in 2002 and after almost three years they released their debut demo CD with the title "A View of Grief". In this work the band has included six tracks and more than half hour of pure metal music.

From the intro to the first track you can easily see that the band walks in the atmospheric paths of doom metal with elements from death metal too. Slow moments, death metal vocals and a lot of influences from various doom metal bands. This is how we can describe the music from Shattered Hope. The production of their demo is good enough, at least for first work is really good. Their compositions are well worked, but they need more practice and to be more unique to find their personal sound. Definite this is a promising demo from a promising band.
