Tristania is for one more time in the controversial eye of the cyclone. The first time was when Morten Veland ceased to be a member of the band. The second was when the charismatic and adored by the fans of the band (and of gothic metal as well), Vibeke Stene, left. But the flames of controversy hadn't risen that much, not until recently when their 6th full-length album came to the surface, the 1st with Mariangela "Mary" Demurtas on the female vocals. Yet, this isn't the only change on the line-up, only two of the founding members remain in the ranks of Tristania, Anders Høyvik Hidle and Einar Moen, although Osten still partakes as a guest vocalist which is very welcome, he has also written half the lyrics of the album.

Best Gothic album of the year?! WTF?!
It sucks! It was more of a Hard Rock album!


Totally Agree.

Ridiculous this award! Worse, only new Sirenia album...

Rating: 8 I don't think it's so bad. It really follow "Ilumination"'s direction and Mariangela does a stunning performance, plus the violins sound totally amazing!

Rating: 10 It IS an amazing album, if you are a true Gothic/Symphonic metal fan. Less metal sounds and more experimental sounds does not make them a hard rock band, guys.

  When i compare it with their classic albums like "Ashes" and "illumination" it is honest to rate it 2.
