Artist Origin: ITA
Style: melodic emotional expressive atmospheric metal

with their sophomore full-length [2001] then fast rising Italian masters of emotional metal reached a new level of quality, expanding upon the gothic, harmonious, melancholic, and atmospheric sound first introduced on their debut into a far more mature, emotionally charged direction: sensitive minor motifs are set against rich melodic and dynamic wave, while each composition impresses with its carefully built mood and clearly defined structure; this time the band achieves a flawless balance between heaviness and fragility, and the now-signature interplay between two vocalists gains even greater expressive depth, convincingly conveying lyrical emotion - as a result, this record is often regarded as their first fully refined opus, surpassing the debut in confidence and sonic cohesion; first time ever - Spanish gatefold sleeve black vinyl edition marks twenty year anniversary of this recording
