To Elysium is an amazing band. They are somewhere between black and death metal (specially because of the male vocals) and they have excellent keyboards orchestration. The guitars are full of melodies and solos (great guitarist). Some of the riffs reminded me of czech band Forgotten Silence but they are played in a different way. The band has a killer female vocalist (great soprano range) called Esther De Vos (don´t forget this name, I think we´ll hear more from her in the future). This band has great musicallity and the tracks are carefully planned with many arrangements and instrumental passages where you can see this band technical abbilities !! An amazing album !!! Favorite tracks: "He Rears His Head in Laughter", "the Devil Herself" and "Dana IN Darkness". Contact: www.coldbloodindustries.com
