"It was by chance I picked up this album. I was sure I had heard of it somewhere, and it was in the used clearance bin, and it was on Nuclear Blast, so I figured what the heck. Was I in for a surprise!Dark and depressing is the only way to sum up this romantic gothic/doom album. I've rarely heard a female voice go to the depressive levels that Mariana Holmberg goes to on these tracks. There's no low-end growling (Theatre of Tragedy) or operatic attempts (Tristania, Nightwish). Instead, her soft and brooding voice fits the band's musical style perfectly. The music is relatively simple, but very well arranged and performed. Very deep and heavy, yet slow and very captivating. It's easy to get the melodies stuck in your head for days. The best track is probably "The Wounds of Bitterness", but many others are close behind. Watch out for the last track--it's sounds like a different band! Really heavy and brutal. What a perfect way to end the album."

LHS is Amazing!

"This band combines sweet, low, and sexy vocals with a harder metal sound. The combination is a gothic dream. The music is beautiful, the words timeless and the female vocal lead is increadible. If you like gothic and metal this is the perfect combination for you. It's soft enough and hard enough to be enjoyed by everyone!"

Great album

"This is haunting & melodic gothic rock from Sweden. This singer is great and so is the rest of the band. Give it a listen."
