Description/Reviews:
It may have been Maya initially who made me take notice of this band and album, and ultimately write this review, but over several listens, more and more differences from the “usual” progressive metal sound make themselves known. The rhythm section of Anton Mityugin on bass and Igor Drozdov on drums have a fantastic groove that complements Maya’s vocals. They have that same sense of jazzy cool, without ever sounding outrightly jazz. By the time you add the melodies and accents of Aleksandr Sidelin on guitars and Mira on keys, there is a full sound that embraces dark and light (or black and white swans).
