This is also extremely symphonic metal (?) band that originated from two guys in germany. I don't know what category to put this in really. It starts with a medieval sounding intro and then it is a keyboard dominating musical style based on sad and beautiful feelings. There are some electric guitars and even some grim vocals so I didn't want to fit this under the sign on non-metal. But mostly it's violin and flute sounding keyboards that stands for the musical experience. The vocals are mostly much like the newer Moonspell - very dark but clean and normal. I must say that this is brilliant stuff with great melodies and I think that you who like sad and beautiful non-metal also likes this. There are some elements of more brutal music too, but it's nothing I can't accept. I will again point out that this by no means is black metal at all, as you might have read somewhere, still I think it's something most of you will like and enjoy. I must say it grows each time I hear it. Anyone who's heard their exellent Demo "...der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel..." knows what to expect. Oh yeah did I forget to mention that the production is very good?

Songs of Moors & Misty Fields

It seems that the boyz learned a lot from their first recording. This is way more proffesional and has very good production. The music is still the same type of extremely symphonic metal with nice and slow melodies. Sad and beautyful music to relax to. There are still some grimm vocals that breakes with the atmosphere and i still think that it would problebly be better without them although it’s not as bad as on the debut. The material isn’t as superb as on the debut, but it’s still brilliant stuff. The only band that sounds anything like this must be "In the Woods" and if you like this or the debut, you should like their "Omnio" and vice versa.
