Season of Ghosts does its music on a grand scale.
The band is driven by singer Sophia Aslanides,
formerly of Blood Stain Child. Sophia keeps in touch with her metal roots, but
accompanied by orchestras and synthesizers and done at higher octaves, Season
of Ghosts is not metal. They self-describe as intergalactic.
Looking at recent bands reviewed, Season of Ghosts
seems like the natural result of combining Orisonata with Samantha Scarlette.
There are gothic elements combined with cuteness, but the incorporation of
mythic themes and push of large sound sets everything on a grander scale.
(Also, there is not the morbidity that would make
sense with Goth.)
One frequent shortcoming for these types of projects
is that songs may run together and not be easily distinguishable from one
another, even though there is a sense of beauty with the individual tracks. As
it was, the one that stuck in my mind the most was the instrumental,
"There and Back Again", simply because the lack of vocals made it
different.
That being said, there is a performance video of
their song "Dream; Paralysis" available if you want to get an idea of
what they would be like in concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_nGz_I4MMU&feature=youtu.be
