this catchy, intricate and hypnotizing ten-tracker by notorious Portuguese five-piece, the masters of all things heavy and elegant, follows the steps of previous album's quite versatile paradigm, erecting another sonic monument to sundowns and dark hours, letting Fernando Ribeiro's trademark sombre vocals collide with modern, poignant and sweeping riffing, subtly blackened melodies and overall operatic grandeur - always one step ahead of the pack, and always resisting the genre boundaries, they prove to stay masters of harmonious approach with insanely memorable refrains that refuse to extinct from the listener's mind!
