Review by John Davies
I wasn’t too familiar with this Polish band, but I decided to take a chance and try the only album of theirs that seemed to be available. I’m very glad I got it, because this is actually a pretty good CD! They have a strong power metal sound, with a nice touch of industrial mixed in.
The first two songs, 'Anew' and 'More' especially sound very industrial, similar to the Kidney Thieves. 'Emotune' is a more laid back gothic style song. Paula’s passionate vocals really stand out in the chorus of 'Your Name.' 'The Pact of Silence' is another strong industrial song, with crunchy drop-tuned guitars accompanied by eerie keyboards. 'All That’s in Me' hits you right in the face with a really heavy guitar opening, followed by nice vocal passages, and later by a heavy metal bridge and distorted vocal chorus. 'About You' has a really cool underlying bass line throughout the song that gives the song an especially interesting feel, and there are some terrific dark, heavy sections that help make this a stand out song. 'Bare Tree' is certainly the best song as far as Paula’s vocals are concerned, with very rich harmonies and dreamy verses. The last song 'Sleep' is just a silly instrumental filler, which is far too long and just prevents you from wanting to play this CD in random mode. I hate when they do that!
I’d give this CD a 7/10 rating. It’s not mind blowing or incredible, but it’s pretty good. I would certainly try their other CD’s if I could find them anywhere.
Rating: 8/10
