A keytar-equipped female soprano voice fronts this Russian gothic metal quintet. Actually their sound blends together symphonic-oriented acts with nu-art attack, very forceful and addictive in terms of exotic melodies and hooks. Everything from A Perfect Circle and Nightwish to Devin Townsend and Pain of Salvation come up on the ethereal opener "Locust" all the way through to the 11 minute plus epic closer "Black Wings", the latter showcasing some of their more left field nuances.
Probably a hidden gem for most.
