This is not a typical heavy metal band. I bet they are not categorized as a metal band. I´ve read somewhere that they are gothic metal band. Maybe they create their own category because they use strong metal guitars with drum machine and synthetizators. There are two vocalists in this band: Thomas Rainer who writes almost every song and Sonja Kraushofer who has this more than beautiful voice.

First song I heard from this band was a ballad called “Another Day”. I liked it so much that when I saw this album in Latvia where I was visiting I had to buy it.

First impression was kind a shock to a metal man but listening the album a couple of times gives a great feeling. The music itself is not heavy metal but the attitude in the songs are more than heavy metal. Try listening Slut or Epitaph! Beats every song of Metallica J. Both great songs and the first one is that kind of song where you can bang your head to the wall or dance in the dancefloor!
Beautiful ballad Judgement gives you the shivers and when you are all alone when your dog has died and girlfriend is leaving you Life Will Never Be The Same Again is the right song for you. Forgive Me is the right song if you´ve done something shitty to your friend!

Lets face it: metal maniacs are very conservative and narrow minded people! That´s why many of us doesn´t like this sort of band and its acceptable!
