Re: White Willow "Ex Tenebris" (1998)
A huge disappointment to me after the brilliant debut.  Very folky and gothic, which is normally not a problem, but there's just not enough musical development. A snoozefest.

Which one did you order? Ex Tenebris (the 2nd album) is probably the most dark of their albums. Not surprisingly since this album wasn't going to be a WW album but a gothic project called Ex Tenebris. It was only after the initial line-up of WW folded and that goth project didn't come through that Jacob Holm-Lupo decided to combine the two and thus WW - Ex Tenebris came into being. The new one Sacrament does sound quite different. A bit lighter but IMO its their best effort to this day.
