Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style.
Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings
is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a
qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being
technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Symphonic concept story delivered via an epic metal presentation
Sophomore album from former Amberian Dawn vocalist Heidi Parviainen. This continues the story penned on the 2015 debut 'Behind the Black Veil'. The record is a good variety of faster metal numbers that incorporate operatic vocals, rich symphonies and a darkly woven tale about split personality. Overall, a good variance spread through ten tracks. Features guest appearances by Manuela Kraller (Xandria), Charlotte Wessels (Delain) and JP Leppäluoto (Charon).
Recommended for fans of: Amberian Dawn, Delain, Midnight Eternal
