Today it was in the post office and I must say I am speechless. The songs are just great.
The opener "In The Shadows" to show what is on offer here. Symphonic-Meatl with plenty of power. Extremely powerful and catchy song.
"Songs of Love and Death" is strongly reminiscent of Nightwish, grim and powerful guitars paired with powerful vocals of frontwoman Jennifer. Strong song, the live determines hammer comes across.
With "Unbroken" the pace is taken out something. What we get is on offer here a beautiful metal ballad. First, accompanied only by piano, put on about half of the guitar a. A beautiful guitar solo is also available, big plus! Once again shows the great Potetntial of frontwoman Jennifer, who has an incredible strong and diverse voice for their just 19 (!) Years.
"When Angels Fall" the gas pedal then passes back through fully. Strong and powerful guitar intro. The chorus is very grim, here also for some time Erten Grwols as backing vocals. We already know from bands like Epica. But is very good and makes the songs abwechlusreicher. Generally very dark and hard song, but very good: D
Continuing with "Pearl in to World of dirt". The song begins with a surprise acoustic guitar and male clear vocals. Relatively quickly then sets a Jennifer. The song then turns into a beautiful duet that underscores the versatility of the album again. Later the guitars put on again and the song gains strength. Folk elements are also vorghanden, all in all a very pleasant and unforgettable song with many styles and speeds.
"Hallelujah" starts very quietly jennifer with clean vocals of frontwoman. Then put an abrupt guitars with all your strength, and the song is gaining strength and pace. In chorus there again Growhls for contrast, similar to "When Angels Fall". Once again shows the enormous power in the voice of the singer. When Jennifer sees the first time you expect a rather soft voice as Anette Olzon (ex Nightwish). What actually comes out is incredibly powerful: D
"Runnig To The Edge" is weakening against something ... I find the chorus a bit boring, just "Running, running, running, to the edge ..." reminds a bit of a to the new plant of Within Temptation .... bit too mainstream ...
"Numb" begins with a somber choir. I find very well implemented. The verses are kept quiet, the chorus Jennifer is supported by the choir. Sounds very cool. I'm a fan of Chäören in Metal: D
"Drowning In Darkness" is a fast and powerful song, again with growl as support, this time also partly outside the choruses. I like it very much.
"Afraid Of The Dark" fits seamlessly into the chain of Stanpfer on this album a. Very nice and melodic chorus. Again come Growhls and choir used. At the end of a very beautiful clear there vocals of frontwoman Jennifer. Top song!
"Fall Into The Flames" is not quite as hard as the rest. Rather, a melodic rock number with a strong focus on the vocals. Ensures again for a change. I like it very much.
With "Love Me Forver" We are, unfortunately, also arrived at son last song of the record. This is a beautifully sung ballad, in which frontwoman Jennifer if I am correctly informed, even sitting at the piano. Very soulful lyrics and a gelunger completion this strong album.
Faizt: "Songs of Love and Death" is an incredibly strong and Varied album. Quiet tracks like "Love me forever" or "Unbroken" are available, but the focus is too often on schenneln and powerful pieces, which today fell in symphonic metal of the case is (unfortunately) I would like to emphasize especial positive for a first-class vocal Work of frontwoman Jennifer and 1a-production of the album. the blend as such is top. nothing is too loud / too quiet, all right.
I aknn each (Symphonic) Metal fan would highly recommend this album. Here we have an incredibly talented and vielversprechnede young band in front of us that can, in my opinion, great reach. From me therefore ne strong buy recommendation.
