On this seventh album of Theatres des Vampires you can hear from the start that the band has progressed. The opening track 'Kain' starts with a catchy melody and a lot of variation is displayed in this track. Both Sonya’s and other male vocals can be heard, which are sound and variable. The second track starts much more experimental and electronic, the harsh voice of Sonya followed by singing in a low but natural voice makes this an attractive variation on the gothic rock sound displayed all over the album. The three melody lines, created by guitars, piano and vocals add to this variation. The 4^th track is a bit more predictable, you can feel the melody and rhythm changes about half a minute in advance. However, despite the predictability they improve the song with the wailing vocals of Sonya, and the outro with the piano. 'From the Deep' is a melancholic song where the female vocals sometimes seem like an attempt to create a similarity to the ever so popular female fronted gothic metal bands. The fact that Sonya keeps using her natural voice at least shows that they want to keep their own identity, even when attempting to fit in with a more popular sound. 'Blood Addiction' compensates for the previous track and shows the full capacity of Theatres des Vampires. They should let themselves go like this more often; especially the screams are well performed. The same guy proves that he can sing just as well in the following track. 'Two Seconds' makes use of slightly distorted vocals to emphasize them in the body of the song, whereas the chorus is sung once more. This creates a gap between these parts of the songs where the rest of the atmosphere remains more or less the same. The last song of the album is the title track; it stands out from the rest of the album completely. Whispers are used together with high vocals, acoustic sounds versus electric guitars, combined in such manner that both atmospheres are present at the same time throughout the track.

The whole album has many different aspects and sometimes reminds you of Asrai, The Dreamside, Moonspell, The Skeptical Minds, and Evanescence. The only disadvantage disturbing me in almost every song is the strong accent of Sonya, I hope she will find the time to solve this on the next album. If so I would like to see many more productions from this band in the future.
