Definitively the first thing that caught my attention was the cover art, is great, the gal there with those Freddy Kruger gloves, the nice logo and the photography that has been given the mosaic treatment, very artsy!

But who is Cadaveria? Well, Cadaveria is the former singer from Opera IX, and she released 2 albums with that outfit, "Sacro Culto" and "The Black Opera", two great Black Metal albums if you ask me. Reason enough to give this one a chance.

Is different a synonym of good, or bad? I guess for purists, it will be a synonym of bad. I'm (almost) never a purist or whatever word fits better for what I'm about to say: Cadaveria is different to Opera IX and fans of Cadaveria's former band might think this new project is not at the level or that she "sold out" or whatever. I'll write this review without making comparisons because I believe one of the reasons of starting a new project is probably to experiment something new (I know sometimes it does not apply), and to separate from certain style.

None of Cadavia's stuff does. I think they're just left like that cause nobody can agree on what it should be. I've got this one down as avant garde, but alternative for Silence and In Your Blood.

Leaving it as generic 'gothic metal' might be the better course of action imo. Should be a big enough blanket to cover the whole band

The more I listen to this album the more I like it although it is slow process. Took me ten whole years to get to like it beyond "Spell", however more and more stuff gets into list of things I like about this album. My absolute favorite must be "Circle Of Eternal Becoming".
