Description/Reviews: 

The music is very nice with this combination of styles from folk to jazz, gothic and metal. They manage to get to me with keyboards, something I usually aren’t very fond of. But this futuristic sounds in combination with traditional flutes and the somewhat classical female voices is great.
This is undoubtedly a strong piece of work, but above all I think their sound is quite unique, very bold to try something unusual as this and make something beautiful out of it!
