It's just an Evanescence clone band trying to make sweet death-metal. It seems to try too hard to me - just not organic and natural. Overly cliched without an ounce of freshness or originality.
But hey - if you like it then listen to your heart's content!

See what you've done, Franke? You've reincarnated the inner music critic from my past life as a professional musician. :band:

I´ve kind of had that feeling, just couldn´t put words on it. They are from Finland, so don´t judge em to hard.

It´s the precense of zero-self-distance in the singers apperance that gets to me the most.

I agree - the female lead shows signs of potential. Sweet, mysterious, vulnerable, and hypnotic.
She's just buried in the heaviness of this band.

what's up with northern europe and dark music? i'm half finnish (3rd. gen born in usa) and it seems like there is this darkness that hangs over scandinavia. my personal idea is lack of sun and brain chemistry. over all; scandinavia is a pretty nice place, good economy, social services, crime rate ect... yet there is this pervasive darkness. i have a bunch of refugee music from africa, it is so happy and upbeat. these people were from the war zone in sierra leone, a place where awful things went on. the music is totally happy and optimistic. what gives? the music is ok btw, i agree with the unoriginal sound, but that lead singer has a great voice.

The singer has got a very nice voice, but this heavy metal stuff does not cut it for me.

I like their Sleeping Sun (best enjoyed at 250kmh on the Autobahn :D)

Reminds me of Pat Benetar for some reason, who I'd rather listen to sing this sang than the above....

Decent group, but I think she lacks a little depth in her vocals- can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I just need to listen a little more. :)

it was an honest question, asked in good humor. there is no need to be rude. i mean "death metal" isn't a very light genre. but i suppose i don't have a clue....

What!???? That's an old fashioned orange juicer / pulp & seed strainer! Jesch! Supposed to be very therapeutic... I believe that sailors used to use it on ships to help prevent scurvy.

When I was living in Germany, the best music for driving 250KPH to was Motorhead. Now I think the best music to drive like a maniac or ride a motorcycle to is probably Pantera. Hey old bands because I am old. If you like death metal, try Rumplestiltskin Grinder, Goatwhore, or if you want it a little tempered try Lollipop Lust Kill.
