Review:

The Polish couple of delightful Aya on vocals and hubby
Mauser on instruments are back with the follow up to 2008’s
‘The End of Life’. This is gothic metal a la Delain par
excellence, heavy but as catchy as Velcro. Driven by walls
of riffage, ornamented by subtle keys, the songs rattle
along at a cracking pace. Production, sound, and mix are
all major league and the album sees a real improvement in
every department on their debut, they know where they are
going, and how to get there. Every song is a humdinger,
but picks include the opener ‘The Lost Way’, the title track
‘Clinic for Dolls’ and the gorgeous and very moving ballad
‘The Last Tear’. This is an album that oozes class and confidence.
If you are a gothic metal fan you will be battering down
the door of their clinic and making off with this doll.
The album is available from all the usual dispensers of
musical medications, a most sunny 9 out of 10.
