This is the second album by the Belgian progressive
symphonic metallers, but the first to be professionally
produced and released. The epic artwork sets the tone for
the music, a mixture of power metal and gothic metal, with
the outstanding Jennifer Rush style Annelore Vantomme on
vocals. ****
Every song is special, distinctive and very melodic,
with superb instrumental passages and plenty of light and
shade, ranging from the thrash of ‘Rage’, to the piano ballad
‘Angelheart’, to the anthemic ‘The Night Awakes’. Songs
like ‘Entwined’ and ‘Roots of Reality’ move from heavier
to softer passages effortlessly. Lyrics are also excellent,
very deep and thought provoking. ****
This CD has really impressed and surprised me, and
I highly recommend it to all fans of progressive symphonic
metal, so go to their merchandise page on their website
