The sound of this act is unique. They land somewhere in the space between European epic metal and progressive rock. It’s definitely further on the prog side, though and there are some definite electronic elements at play. The real driving factor, though is the vocals. Jade Ell’s voice is pretty amazing. She can rock out with the best of them, but get more artistic, too. At times she makes me think of Dale Bozzio. Many times, though, she seems closer to Kate Bush. A lot of the rest of the time she is rocking out with the best female singers from modern epic metal. She really sells this thing.

There is a real modern electronic vibe as this opens. As the vocals join the cut gets more of a hard edged modern progressive rock vibe. I like the rock and roll texture of Jade Ell’s voice. There is a heaviness to the music, leaning toward heavy metal without actually landing there. It drops back to more of that opening modern electronic sound mid-track. Then it fires back out into the song proper and it seems even more powerful. There are a lot of symphonic sounds in the mix.
