"My Angel" opens with full energy this album with riffs that remember Paradise Lost and vocals that are closer to Anathema and Katatonia (really deppressive). Here we have a band that uses a lot of keyboards combined with the heavy guitars. While being  dark and heavy the music here has enough hooks in its melodies to attract the listener and trap him with the keyboards and vocal lines never letting him go until the album is over. Again I have to remark the strong contrast between heavy distorted guitars and the melodic keyboards that are the main feature here along with the melancholic voices. This album has an extremely good mix, specially on the keyboards that are essential here. A must
