With a raw, blues-inflected style reminiscent of AC/DC, the album features standout tracks like 'Shake Me' and 'Nobody's Fool'. The review appreciates the band's solid musicianship and historical place in the genre, though it notes the sound is familiar rather than revolutionary. Dive into Cinderella’s 'Night Songs' and experience the raw energy and timeless riffs of 80s glam metal today!

 The album is not conformist to the canons of the more popular currents within the metal extension.

 It’s destructive heavy metal, unrestrained, aggressive, already in the opening song, The Almighty Power.

 Blazon Stone is a perfect mix of energy and melody, speed and technique, but also of classicism and malice.

 Cadaveria has a truly lacerating clean singing, aggressive and loaded like two canines sunk into a neck.

 The work is full of keyboard arrangements that impregnate everything with a good dose of epicness typical of some noble and ancient portrait, full of faded occult secrets.

Cadaveria's debut album merges black, death, doom, and gothic metal influences into a raw and aggressive sound enhanced by powerful female vocals and epic keyboard arrangements. Although the formula is daring, the album sometimes feels repetitive and uneven. The lyrical content is intricate and artistic, adding depth to the dark and varied themes. Overall, a compelling but imperfect work worth exploring, especially for fans seeking a darker metal experience. Dive into Cadaveria's haunting blend of metal genres and experience the dark, raw power of The Shadow's Madame today!

 Excellent technique but little expressiveness, or excellent music but little communication.

 The album isn’t bad, but I realize that I won’t listen to it again even in fifteen years.

Brazen Abbot's Eye Of The Storm impresses with skilled vocals by Edman and Vikström and powerful riffs from Nikolo Kotzev. Despite its technical proficiency and melodic moments, the album lacks a defining uniqueness or emotional pull. It blends classic hard rock and heavy metal with occasional ethnic touches, but ultimately doesn't inspire repeated listens. The review appreciates the craftsmanship but finds the album emotionally distant and predictable. Discover Brazen Abbot’s Eye Of The Storm—listen now and decide if its technical mastery speaks to you!
