by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (15.09.2008) France is well-known for extravagant, unwieldy bands - see Gojira, Misanthrope - and Dagoba. Their third album is a Metal treasure chest not only containing modern groovy stuff (as some reviews and the band info want to make us believe). Take the title track, for instance; a mixture of brutal symphonic Black Metal with Neo-Thrash guitars. Low-key "The world in between" with its touching leads reminds you of Evergrey - if you want to have a reference, that is. And as mechanical as the riffing may be sometimes ("Somebody died tonight") - the opulent keyboard layers and the emotional, yet crisp vocals save each song from being cold and lifeless. "Back from life" would stand its ground even among the most critical of the Devin Townsend followers, and the imaginary B-side, starting with the intro "Transylvania", followed by "Orphan of you" has a black veil spread over it. Sure, a bizarre mix - but nevertheless gaining profile, quality and considerable clout.
