Not to be confused with the German thrash act, these guys hailed from Sweden and released one album on Candlelight.

FATAL EMBRACE - SHADOWSOULS' GARDEN - CANDLELIGHT
One of two new releases on Britain's Candlelight Records, Sweden's Fatal Embrace is a quartet whose debut CD was recorded just over a year ago at Studiomega. Adorned in a gothic jacket colour resembling that of Morgoth's Cursed album, the Swedes present the type of melodic style brought forth by the likes of In Flames and Ceremonial Oath. Fatal Embrace is darker in its approach, weaving a shroud of forlorn emptiness around the abundance of melody. There is no reproaching the band's approach which is only let down by the odd use of vocals akin to those of a drunken ghost. This vocalization is kept to a couple of occasions with the rest of the album continuing the band's rough mix of In Flames and Naglfar. This is recommended for seekers of both darkness and melody. One note though, can anyone recall whether there have been other bands with this name because it sounds familiar. - Ali "The Metallian"
