Review:

This is the Russian bands fourth album, but every one
has been done in a different style. For this one they describe
their music as ‘Symphonic-Industrial-Sex-Metal’, I would
describe it as the symphonic power metallers Nightwish having
a punch-up with some Cossacks in Lady Gaga’s nightclub.
The striking singer Kaira has a deep, rich, dramatic voice,
a cross between Grace Jones and Morticia with whips. The
fact that she sings in Russian only adds to the drama. ****
Every song is a non stop barrage of head banging riffs,
throbbing synths, and horror strings. One song, whose title
in English I can’t mention because this is a family show,
makes Je t'aime (an infamous erotic song) sound like the
Osmonds. I bought it on import from EBay, but it is gradually
being released around the globe, Life Burns (England), Tetragram
Records (USA), This Sick Productions (Australia), etc. ****
Good grief, this is an exciting, monster of a record,
not for the faint hearted. I’m off for a lie down.
8.5 out of 10
