Cool emotional band coming out form Sweden. The land of death metal. I was surprised to know that they come out from this land. They have different taste and feelings, has nothing to do with the term “death metal”.

Their style is a melodic, very easy, very smooth. There is an extensive use of the “Acoustic guitar”. So harmonic.

I couldn't swallow the band when I first heard them, this could be the reason of the way they arranged their own tracks?? I have no idea, but the most important thing, that somehow, after the 3 track, I start to swallow their style. The feeling that I got at the beginning, it was like “This band wants to say something, but it can't…..something really very good and very talented inside of their heads but it can't come out” ..to be honest, I don't know why “this thing” can't come out, but they just can't.

Stefan, is one of the touching vocals you could ever hear. he got pretty quite, soft, easy and appealing voice.

Lyrical? They don't really impress me. If you took their words back 20 years ago, I guess they will be impressive, but not now.

Too bad, I wish that I could have heard more of the keyboardist. But once my ear finds him, he is doing great job.

In few words, this band is cool one. Another great band coming from Candle Records, after “Daylight Dies”
