A far as debut albums go this is not bad. The genre of Gothic/Symphonic female fronted rock is "niche" at best and probably doesn't get the attention it deserves from UK rock radio. Therefore this album deserves some credit for getting noticed among the power houses that are Nightwish/Within Temptation/Epica.
All in all this is a good album, there are weaknesses but overall I like it. The vocals are good, a nice mix of male grunts and female softer singing, musically sound.
You can tell this is a "low budget" album and I expect their next release to have a grander, fuller sound. I have two reasons not to give this the full 5 stars, firstly, around track 10 the album starts to drag but is thankfully rescued by the last 2 tracks. Secondly, the lyrics are poor in places, whether it's bad translation or just poor command of English I do not know. Obviously, I do not expect a Spanish band to be fluent and poetic but it could be better.
Overall though this is a very promising debut.

The Future of Metal is Here!

I have to start by saying, WOW! I am utterly impressed. Diabulus in Musica's Debut CD is an exhilarating experience. Expertly written songs with passion and grit. If you want professional musicianship and well crafted songs, I recommend this CD highly. Yes, it is METAL, but as well as other ambient sounds and landscapes. Zuberoa Aznarez is one of the best new singers in this genre. She kicks ass!!! Diabulus in Music is from Spain, as usual, European bands keep putting American bands to shame. Hopefully soon American bands will catch up. Buy this CD, enjoy great metal and remember, Metal is Forever!!!!! Cheers!

I picked up this CD on a whim, and I'm very glad I did, because it exceeded my expectations. Although DIM are heavily influenced by other female-fronted metal bands such as Nightwish, Epica and After Forever, they still manage to sound unique and innovative. Zuberoa, the lead singer, has a beautifully haunting, melodious voice, sometimes a deeper mezzo-soprano a la Tarja Turunen and Simone Simons in The Phantom Agony, and sometimes softer and more ethereal, like Vibeke Stene in the early days of Tristania. The musicianship and use of choirs is superb, and although they also feature a male vocalist doing the grunts/screams, they are not overused (I'm looking at you Mark Jansen!). Overall, they are powerful and bombastic, yet a bit more restrained than some of the other symphonic/power metal bands out there. Their sound is familiar enough to draw in the fans of the genre, yet unique enough to keep you enthralled from beginning to end.
