Forgotten Souls are Polish, and play a blend of death metal, black metal, and whatever other kinds of influences they can throw in. They have a theatrical vibe reminiscent of Cradle of Filth, and I've heard influences ranging from carnival music, to In Extremo-like medieval stuff, to poppy goth, to Indian melodies, and lots and lots of cheesy keyboards. They also have several styles of vocals, but the most prominent seem to be this horribly overdramatic clean (male) singer. I think without his singing, I could stomach this a lot better, though it's still a little disjointed for my tastes. But at least the playing is competent and the production is solid, even if I don't fully agree with their musical vision.
The songs on their Myspace page seem better than these, if only because of the more aggressive vocals.
