This is a goth metal band that creates music similar to other bands such as Moonspell and Type O Negative. It's dark, heavy and aggressive created with guitars, drums and keyboards. The singer has a great voice and sings with harmony. Each song is catchy and grabs your attention right from the start. There is a lot of changing emotions in these songs. They rock hard and heavy for the most part, but also shift into more mellow and melodic moments as well. They usually feature a chorus that stands out and allow each song to sound quite different from each other. This is metal music for the most part only featuring slight uses of keyboard. However, this is not typical thrashy noisy death metal. It's actually very polished and well done with a mature sound. Some songs rock harder than others, but they're each equally as impressive. If you are a fan of this style of music, you will be very pleased with this album.
