My Comment
Finally, great gothic band with twisted vibe. Grand symphonic synth to dark music, based on creepy and horrow. Great darkness atmosphere. Synth much like COF, and vocal like Type O Negative. "The Drama Of the Wicked" will awaken ur darkness soul. Concept synth like Dimmu Borgir. Synth is the key to lead all rythm. "Secrecies in Darkness" is in death influence with choir effect, palm muting, fast drum. Rythm is kinda repetitive yet elaborated slowly. Their Lyrics is based on horror and literature. Such a wonderful symphony. I pick "Kutulu", "Carpathia" and "Sister Najade" as standup track. Keep up good work. Recommended.

My Comment
Akphaezya bringing avantgarde gothic to one step higher. This is their 1st album after demo album on 2004. Btw they are gothic on jazz influence (woot !!). Nehl which is vocalist (girl ^^) really can represent her feeling towards each rythm. She also able to change voice style on gothic or jazz or pop (lol?). This album start with darkwave and whispering Nehl voice in "Preface" (lyric on Avantgarde). Totally awesome. "Chrysalis" now showing strong gothic jazz element (ah remind me on Ephel Duath but in soft mode). Thanks also to Nehl for awesome jazz keyboard. "Beyond The Sky " is on acoustical. Great rythm and Nehl Vocal (much like Antichrisis+Lacuna Coil). Guitar riff also quite good. Heavy yet have melancholic solo (great tapping on "Awake"). Oh..cant say a word..grab it..totally recommended !!.
Thanks Nehl for superb vocal. Cant wait hear from u.

My Comment
I was almost shocking with i heard. I thought extreme gothic will be like Moonspell etc but i was totally wrong. They have many variety influence and element. (same like The Root in my previous post yet there are totally into dark music). Most element are in Neoclassical, some Power, Gothic, Viking and etc. Its really like blend of mix. Whatever they influent are, they still manage to find what their best. Thanks to talented Dreamlord (vocal, keyboard) for good music arrangement. I know him eversince he at Wallachia. "Silent Inferno" uses clean (not very good) and high scream vocal. "Doomsday Celebration" are in neoclassical mode and good solo. For all guitar riff in all track, i rather give 7/10. Good and have many variation depending what mode are. They also had mix with some electronic. I like their bad ass drum well managed to fast and slow beat. Conclusion this album is great yet i do prefer remaining in one genre.
Recommended !! Salute Them !!
