I'm ashamed to mention it but I didn't know that there was
such a great band in my own Country! Moonlyght really took me by surprise and
the title was very attractive to me. Right from the beginning I fell in love
with the medireview type of singing and the music they composed is a great
mixture of Gothic and Doom knitted together with an impressive Progressive
pattern. This outstanding debut album deserved a worldwide recognition and my
wish is to see their next album on a major label such as Napalm Records. They
present themselves with seven pieces, all but two lasting in the seven to
eight minutes range. The shortest one is a real storm of a power metal tune
that will shake the whole neighborhood. As far as the title track they served
it for desert and it is a delicious long lasting pleasure! The vocal parts are
gracefully held by a charming lady but for the male character, we are faced
with a demoniac death beast who , when the side effects of the full moon
vanish, turn out to be a real knight of the round table. This epic brings you
through a series of intricate musical adventures with all the essential
elements that makes the Gothic genre so dear to our hearts. Great Doom guitar
partitions, precise drum and bass, symphonic keyboards creates a magnificient
decor being only embellished by a more than pleasant acoustic section made of
guitar, violin and believe it or not, an accordion that they even used as a
solo instrument... My last words would be for all of you Brothers and Sisters
of the Great Gothic Realm: by all means spread the word around that the new
Minstrels have arrived and will take the Metal world by
storm!
