Review:

I'm glad to see this band is still active, I still remember their debut split tape with Romantic Love from 2000 and how intrigued I was back then by their strange combination of melancholic, rennaissance influenced keyboards with Progressive Death Metal with futuristic, atmospheric synths, but I'm especially happy they kept their style intact. Balance of Moments is their third album, a deep incursion into a twisted, melancholic, insane atmosphere that's impossible to leave no scars on your mind after the audition. I love everything about this album, from the different expressions transmitted by the keyboards and synths, to the classy guitar riffs, leads and solos, to the intricate, powerful bass lines to the twisted vocal part (just check the "Perceive the Shadow Spears" track), to the melodic violins. If you're not into Progressive Metal you can skip this one, but otherwise I highly recommed this fantastic piece of Metal schizophrenia! Fucking Ace, I'd be able to recognize this band's music from 1000 albums! \m/
