After the last album already really had a lot of great approaches, is here on the current disc pretty much done everything right: The lyrics are significantly more sophisticated than its predecessor and are sometimes bleak, sometimes sad, sometimes a little disturbing. The instrumentation is located between pounding guitars and pop sing-along choruses and is incredibly beautiful accompanied by the unique voice of the singer. The voice usually very agonistic and frantically acting, this is in contrast to the places very aggressive guitars and PC Programming sounds, and just daurch this unique sound of the band comes to pass. Absolutely incomparable. Kind of like icebreakers vs. HIM. The introductory track "We are the fire" true pleasant one on the album and invites you to sing along. Then it goes further first hard and aggressive. "Take me with you" "Infinity" and are zwe typsche songs for the unique style of the band (the somehow still has no proper name, as it is comparable with anything else really): Hard stanzas, Melodious, located einprägende choruses. "Schwegen" is a wonderful, somber ballad that draws one deeper and deeper into the darkness. The two biggest highlights of the strong album, the last two tracks: "sorry picture" - Incredibly beautiful: A really great text, strongly sung by outstanding Sängen and with absolute catchy. One would like to sing on the spot in this gloomy masterpiece. And who was not dark enough, the album that gets a depressive ballad with very verzwefeltem, sad text that leaves would forget everything around while a final track.
Conclusion: Venus Lucifer is one of the best albums of 2014 in the Gothic and even in rock / metal area and is an absolute buy recommendation
