These German band I've been following
from their naive although decent debut
on a small Italian label many years
ago. "Serpentine" has become their 4th
fullength, proving the band to
become a more and more mainstream rockact
than the typical gothic rockact. I
must say their progression since the debut
has been strong, topping it with
"Jade" a few years back now. "Serpentine"
is a rather low fueled release
though, it's slow and melancholic and not as
monumental and beautiful as the
previous album, "Jade". It's clear that Stefanie,
the female vocalist has
grown as a singer, as here she can surely play on more
strings than most
other gothrock bands with female vocals.
I feel the band to progress though,
but without offering the audience much
of excitement along the way. That is
why "Serpentine" has become a album
for me that won't represent much, due
to a lack of strong material rather than
anything else. It has it's sharp
points, but unfortunately not enough to rate
this a future remembered
classic.
