From Austria another Gothic Metal band that joins
melodic parts similar to Lacuna Coil and growl vocals like Crematory.
The songs have a good rhythmic session and a
very good female vocal but not all ideas and melodies are up to the
task.
I have to say that keyboards are very good used with
the right sounds and give a particular emphasis but are not supported
by all other instruments ..that often are not well arranged.
The first track "Underworld"
is a very melodic Gothic Metal song in which Lexi's vocals show
the best quality of the band.
"Death is our Kingdom"
is of mediocre quality ....nothing original and my impression
is that the band tries to join elements of Classic Gothic Metal and New
Goth Metal but they don't find the right way and the song is boring.
I may say the same thing as regarding the following "Fade"
and "Come to me", that sounds
boring and very hard to hear completely!!!!!
"Dying Dream"is
better and the decaying melody reminds me of Lacuna Coil; A good
idea Billy Idol's cover "White Wedding"
rearranged in a good way in which i note a good atmosphere but
the guitar sound is too much soft.
"Divinity" is
the usual song in which i note the male vocal similar to Crematory but here
the very hard guitars are supported by a strong rhythmic session.

I prefer to forget the following "Sinner
Paradise" in which there's no melody
and i go to the next "Queen of Razor"
that is a nice ballad that shows the good quality of Lexi.
"Buried deep"
closes this work and i have to say that this
work has disappointed me. The
production is mediocre and i advice you to buy something else.
