Customer Reviews
Their latest CD is no exception. Most of the tracks fit nicely into the melodic industrial goth metal style they've settled into over the last few years with the keyboards high in the mix, providing an orchestral feel to their performance. No wonder they shared a bill with Nightwish before the Tarja debacle.
Now there are punters out there who felt betrayed when they moved from metal to goth metal, more who felt betrayed at the sheen of "Draconian Times" and more who wept at the electronic shimmer of "Host", but what we have here is a band always willing to challenge themselves and their listeners, creating the whole genre of goth-metal along the way.
So, here they are on album number 10, and my only complaint is how unchallenging it is. It's very similar in tone and feel to "Symbol of Life", something that could be put down to the renewed interest in the band when "Symbol.." came out. But it's been three years and I was expecting more.
Don't get me wrong, this is a cracking release, with at least 3 tracks that I will listen to for a long time - "Grey", "Forever After" and "All You Leave Behind" - with several more that instantly grabbed me. One thing that did please me was the return of some monster guitar parts, especially on "Sun Fading", which helps the album towards the desire of Nick Holmes to 'get a real heavy sound whilst maintaining as much clarity and melody as possible'.
This is a top quality release with a lot to reccomend it - they've only get themselves to blame for raising the bar so high since they first emerged from darkest Yorkshire, all those years ago.
