"The Black Flower" is the new album by Swedish goth rockers Diabolique. Miles apart from 1997's sludgy "Wedding The Grotesque," this new Diabolique release is a driving, melancholic and sentimental goth rock album. "The Black Flower" is an album that marks that Diabolique has truly found their own style. Blending the early eighties' melancholia with sixties' psychedelia and seventies arrangements into their own laid-back, shadowesque sound, Diabolique has come up with a passionate and convincing gothic rock album.
