The second album of the sound wizard E Nomine presents itself in totally different garments, as the first (The Testament). Firstly, it is much darker content (as the title already suggests), on the other hand is determined by the insertion of so-called. Interludes (which are short pieces that connect two songs together, almost as a bridge) achieved an enormous inner connection. As for the lyrics, so we exchanged Psalm, Ave Maria and Hallelujah against witches, vampires and exorcists. "Wolfen" sounds almost a little to Rammstein. "Midnight" is constructed musically very symmetrical and even includes an artful, polyphonic choral office (before the last chorus). In my opinion, worlds better than "Our Father". Said "Wolfen" replaced the choir by a single soprano voice, creating some variety. "The Black Riders" all "Lord of the Rings" fans will like, "The Exorcist" contains one or the other quote taken from the film (F *** you, etc.) and "The Night Watch" is not for the faint stomachs! All in all a good album. Even those who were not so impressed by the first E-Nomine-CD, should be trusted access here ...
