According to the letter that accompanied the promo CD from Spanish Noctisdark, the band is influenced by Samael and Cradle of Filth. A bold statement! Especially when you lay ears to this badly produced mixture of semi-goth prog metal with death metal influences.

There are occasional good moments where the band is onto something genuine, especially some of the more goth-influenced sections, but overall I have to be honest and say that I think this is fairly poor song writing, and that the execution of the songs in the cases of for instance The Wind Brings Me Cries and In Bloom tend toward the embarrassing.

Visit the band's MySpace and judge for yourself - I'm not part of the fanclub.
