Secrets is like a great hall that instantly gives an inviting and comfortable feeling to those willing to enter, and then proceeds to illuminate an ever-growing number of doors the further one explores. Diabulus In Musica offer a confident and often compelling reason to check behind each and every door, as the band so often delivers exceptional symphonic metal, from soft-spoken and operatic vocals to memorable and inspiring melodies to complicated and aggressive arrangements. Of course, with any search through dozens of unopened doors, there are several that only show what most of us have seen before or not much of anything, but overall, the band has released a debut full of possibilities and virtues.

Promising debut. They have a very similar sound to Epica, especially on Lies In Your Eyes.

Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name
Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades
The grandeur fades, the meaning never known

I don't really like this album. No memorable songs, all sounds the same. The Wanderer is much much better imo.
