...think "Terpsychora" as a mix between Daemonicium and Illnath. Every song has a keyboard leading it but not in an electronic way, it sounds more like a piano. The melodies are cleverly unique and are a big part of the music. So are the guitars which swirl in an out of mesmerizing solo's, sometimes dueling with the keyboard, other times finishing it.The vocals are something too, from evil black to low growls to group singing, all understandable and powerful sung. There never seems to be a dull moment on this album as weird as it sounds, they really seem to be coming out of nowhere with this release. The pace keeps going with some mid tempo intervals, but never long enough to loose the motion of your head banging up and down...

...the latest album from the first worldwide black metal only-woman band.The album implicates melodic black metal with some melodic death metal elements,guitar harmonies,and some orchestral symphonics parts. The beauty of this album is in it's uniqueness. There are alot of changes and complexity in these songs.This album is completely different from their other albums but it is still a masterpiece...

Album release date:2006
Status:Active

line-up:
Hannu Ruohoniemi (aka Goath) [ voc & gtr ]

Pasi-Pekka Puska (aka Ghost) [ drums ]
Teija Ruohoniemi (aka Dark) [ female voc ]
Janne Ruohoniemi (aka Mr.Thing) [ gtr & acoustic ]

.....The riffing has a dynamic and raw sound, keeping this razorblade sound black metal has, yet having a heavier edge at times with the inspired guitar solos escalating the compositions in the most appropriate way. The acoustic passages have a gentle approach and evoke a more tranquil and folk-oriented feeling in the air, yet, I shouldn't forget to mention some more oriental guitar passages like on "Cursing The Venomous Waters". The rhythm section interprets its role in the most appropriate way, lending groove and an imposing touch to the compositions in an unerring way. As for the vocals they range from extreme and ecstatic howling or just reciting male vocals to chanting or singing ethereal and atmosphere-evoking female evocations. Both vocalists sound fabulous and whenever they interpret together they form a wonderful and expressive duet.....

This cd is a majestic blend of black metal with some slight heavy/viking overtones. There are synths, but these are usually kept to the background, adding to the atmosphere.

A great album!!
