So, let's dive into the dark and mysterious world of Dark the Suns.

Dark the Suns is a Finnish gothic metal band formed in 2005 by Mikko Ojala. Their music style is a combination of gothic and melodic death metal. Sleepwalking in a Nightmare is the band's third album, and it was released in 2019. The album consists of ten tracks, and each track has its unique sound and style.

The album's opening track Spirit in the Dark sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song begins with a haunting piano melody, and then the guitars kick in, creating a sound that is both heavy and atmospheric. Another standout track is Miles Away, which features a beautiful duet between Mikko Ojala and guest vocalist Anna Lehtinen. The song is a perfect example of how Dark the Suns blends different styles to create their unique sound.

One of the most innovative parts of the album is the use of different instruments and sounds. In the song Surfacing, the band uses electronic beats and distorted vocals to create a sound that is both dark and industrial. Another example is the instrumental track Eclipse, which uses a beautiful cello melody to create an eerie and haunting atmosphere.

While Sleepwalking in a Nightmare is an excellent album overall, it does have some flaws. The album's pacing is a bit uneven, with some tracks feeling too drawn out and others feeling too short. The album could benefit from some editing to make it a more cohesive listening experience.

In conclusion, Dark the Suns' album Sleepwalking in a Nightmare is a haunting and atmospheric album that is sure to appeal to fans of gothic and melodic death metal.
