Description/Reviews
Follow the Angels starts this journey through the scary moonless forest with a good balance of the usual shredding guitar chords mixed with orchestral keys and high church choir sounds. Ok then, Nightwish does come to mind, but then this is in the same ball park. Micky Huijsmans' vocal style is a combination of a sweet ballad style combined with a longing that sits on top of the musical bravado. It keeps to the main tempo and never attempts to follow any of the many crochets within the bars. I really like that and it imbues a relaxed sensation amongst the cocophony.
Best track Shadow's Embrace is the most technical and enjoyable here. It's Dream Theater without any keyboard solos but that lead guitar plaing more than makes up for that.
