Last year we reviewed the debut CD of the Finnish female Soprano singer KATRA, which was released on UNIVERSAL MUSIC. Now a year later, she has signed a contract for the rest of Europe to the Napalm Records label, on which she has released ‘Beast within’. Musically nothing has changed, although big difference is the fact she now sings in English instead of Finnish. Musically it is a sort of lighter version of NIGHTWISH/EDENBRIDGE kinda Opera Metal. It does sound quite well and very professional, must-have for fans of the genre, although it brings nothing new to the genre. However, ‘Beast within’ is a good decent album for sure, with 12 very fine tracks, although I am afraid it might end up losing it’s originality after a while, because there are simply too many similar releases done these past few years, although if you think NIGHTWISH has gone a bit off-topic with their latest release, ‘Beast within’ is a good substitute.

(Points: 8.2 out of 10)
