Excellent mix between the style of Peter HAMMILL within "The Fall of the House of Usher" and such a dark heavy metal, but with a touch of classical music, by using an expressive violin, and an incredible vocalist as well, whose pyrotechnical vocal range, under a lyric "opera-style", covering also the contralto and tenor range excursion in the same time, makes this album well worth checking out!! The guitar riffs sometimes are a little banal, nevertheless the support of the piano is interesting, sometimes giving a dark epic imprinting, in other circumstances according to this strange "Balcanic" mood created by the violin. Well a theatrics' work, suitable for an "Horror- Movie Soundtrack"!! As for a certain discontinuity you could erase one star, but for me it's a minor question and of course you have to be in the habit with such an horror soundtrack in order to appreciate them!!
