 Anneke's voice, as soothing as a siren’s, celestial and pure like an angel’s voice.

 This is a beautiful CD that magnificently represents musical art.

 Listen to Mandylion now and experience the enchanting voice and dark atmospheres that shaped symphonic doom metal.

 The CD opens with two truly excellent speed songs, both fast and catchy yet melodic: “Time What Is Time” and “Journey Through The Dark.”

 Overall, an excellent CD, recommended primarily to all power lovers, but also to all metalheads on the planet.

 Listen now to 'Somewhere Far Beyond' and experience Blind Guardian's powerful and melodic metal journey!

 'For Tomorrow'... reconfirms, in my opinion, as the best metal vocalist.

 Shaman (and Angra...) are the only metal band that manages to put me in a good mood and then move without unnecessary virtuosity.

 Listen to Shaman's Ritual now and experience metal mastery fused with emotion and orchestration.

 "The Warrior Princess is the best track of the lot."

 "Gross’s voice seems anything but suitable for singing slow pieces."

 Discover Sinergy’s blend of power and heavy metal—listen to 'Beware The Heavens' and judge the standout tracks yourself!

 The album opens with “Restless,” the most beautiful track on the album.

 In short, the CD is definitely enjoyable, despite the not-so-great production and some less successful passages.

 Listen to Within Temptation's debut album Enter and experience the origins of their unique gothic metal sound.

 "The Silent Force fails to take off: leaving behind the fairytale atmospheres of the second platter, the sextet offers us music that is decidedly unvaried, uninspired, cold, and boring."

 "If this result had been achieved by a band on their first album, it would have been a decent outcome, but we are talking about Within Temptation, a band that has previously shown class and talent. Failed!"

 "The 10 tracks that make up the album are decidedly sunny and fresh, far from any gothic cliché."

 Dive into the magical world of Within Temptation's Mother Earth—listen now and experience symphonic metal like never before!

 Edenbridge has not invented anything new, but (a rare gift nowadays) they never become boring.

 Fly on a Rainbow Dream, the best piece of the bunch, convinces with an excellent chorus and a good solo.

 Listen to Edenbridge's Arcana and explore a melodic journey through optimistic power metal!

 Tristania manage to unite gothic, orchestrations, choirs, black, and death with excellent results.

 My judgment is extremely positive, especially thanks to the decadent and dark atmospheres that this CD knows how to deliver.

 Dive into Tristania's Beyond The Veil and experience one of gothic metal's finest masterpieces today!

 "'Full Moon' (radio edit) is an excellent calling card, captivating and enjoyable."
