Description/Reviews
Slightly gothic ProgMetal with great operatic, female vocals.  There are some 'Cookie Monster' vocals thrown-in here and there but they're quite subdued and fit in nicely with the melodic nature of the music giving a good balance with the lead.  Keys are very good and it doesn't stray into PM cliche too often.  On the 'rock' rather than 'metal' end of the PM spectrum with guitars adding the necessary crunch. This is all good stuff but it is the vocals of Laura van Nes that helps it stand out from the crowd.   (Jez Rowden at weekendprog.blogspot.com)
