Here we have something that really deserves one or two points more for its rareness. This is Black Metal (at least to some extent Black Metal) and the band consists entirely of women. This is the only complete women BM band, I’ve ever heard and I haven’t also found one when I searched for it.

Okay, they are really beautiful, I have to say when you are interested and I’m sure, there are many who are interested. I can already hear the question concerning the vocals and the question “can a woman sing Blackish? The answer is: she can. I have to admit that you don’t recognize it as female vocals in many parts of the album, her vocals could be easily stand on other Black Metal releases, too.

But I miss something on this record, it’s hate or coldness or whatever. It’s rightly this element, which makes Black Metal to Black Metal. So, it’s hard to describe this furthermore as Black Metal but I still try to find something in the music and there are songs, you can’t say something against. But I’m sorry to say that, I hope, that I’m affronting too much. If you like Power Metal, a bit Doom a la MY DYING BRIDE and some New School BM (or what else the description for non Old School Black Metal is), you will find something with this one.

It’s partly rather melancholic and atmospheric as cold and hateful and that’s not really fitting. But you can easily listen to their music. Sirens”, “Lloth” and the instrumental “Underwater Persephone” are all good ballads, the other songs are rather averaged thrashing with screams and you can’t really maintain that this would be something extraordinary.

All in all I have to say, that this is really no dark Black Metal album but it’s surely interesting for some people. So, I just can recommend it for mentioned people. (Online June 28, 2004)
