Killing songs: In Perfect Harmony, Ice Queen, Deiciver Of Fools
Well, I know I'm a bit late on this review, but everything comes to who knows
to wait. And let me told you that it wasn't in vain as this Mother Earth
is a pure jewel.
I already liked their precedent album Enter as well as the single The
Dance, but this new one is another kind of harmonic treasure and purity
that leaves the old work a few light years back. The female voice of the Dutch
singer Sharon Van Adel is divine and overcome almost all female singers in the
metal scene (except maybe Anneke of Gathering). All songs in this album are
as many pearls one another and they'll stay carved in your mind "ad eternam"
! A movie original soundtrack appears on some tracks and unmark themselves of
everything that has been done in the style and originality as much as the feeling
are numerous strong points of this album (btw, I think they are only good points
on this disk).
The only little problem we could deplore this Within Temptation is that
its not distributed here in Switzerland. No need to gloat any longer, it is
now time for me to get back this daily rush that it gives me when I listen to
Mother Earth.
