The production is probably on par or slightly better than the album before. The guitars are all around consistent with shades of heavy and light being used equally for the most part (the album does lean towards the more melodic side after all is said and done). Their are some decent leads and even some solos here and there. The bass doesn't do anything world shattering, but the drums are incredibly tight.
The keyboards are perhaps the most prevalent here than on any prior release. They follow the guitars through much of the music while still maintaining their atmospheric purpose. The violin is a little more adventurous on this album and is in more of a lead role for once.
The vocals are as stated above, very passionate and overall OK. It seems like on most of this bands albums Dunja is singing above her ability and while some people can get away with this, most can't. However newcomer Marina Zrilic' seems to have had some actual vocal training prior to this albums release as there are more overly operatic moments interspersed with noticeably flat notes. Over all, there is a very sensual feel to the vocals that create a more romantic mood.
Some of the complaints are regarding the vocals. The song 'In Vain' is one where the vocals could have been stepped up, or down perhaps as towards the climax of the song an effect is added to her voice that makes it sound like the mic went awry for a few seconds or that it was missed in editing. Most of the moments in question are within the first few songs on the album. Another issue would be the lack of actual doom. For what little is here it's clear the band was done with the style.
This band is pretty cool and worth a listen if you're into goth or if your just in mood for something different. This gets a 5.5/10.
