A superb album!! With music that is a combination of the best things of gothic, of heavy metal, of power metal. A perfect CD with all excellent tracks. The combination of keyboards/piano with extremely heavy guitars reachs perfection on this CD. The perfect combination of melodies with heavy as hell riffs. Melancholy, sadness, majesty...everyone of this feelings can be felt here. And Macbeth has the angelical voice of Morena who is one of the main ingredients here and contrasts with the male ones that can be very deep or screaming. If you like heaviness and more subtle feelings then you will definetly love this CD. Check the guitars solos...there is really good note placement...this guys know exactly what they are playing. An excellent album. Favorite tracks: The whole CD. Contact: crepuscularia@yahoo.it .
