This brutally beautiful song is a magnificent sample of the best gothic metal has to offer. Infernal guitars, harsh vocals, dreamy soundscapes, clean vocals, head banging percussion, female vocals and choirs, it’s all here.  It’s an adventurous composition that crams a lot of action in 5 minutes.

“All you ever wanted
All that you desire
Walk the line with me
I’ll take you higher
I feel your body shake
Put me on fire
All you ever wanted…
All that you desire…
(All your dreams)
All that you desire…

Who’s the prey
What’s the play
God created
Stay with me
We are the ones God hated

I’m a falling stone in a world of glass
I’m a ticking bomb with a smiling mask

Can you ever let go?
Can you ever let go?

I’ll play you like a violin
…stay…
You will be queen
I will be king
I’ll chase your scary monsters
On the run
With me you are safe
I’m in control
I’m in control

I’ll fulfill all your dreams
Every fantasy
I will be
What you need
Satisfaction guaranteed”

Here’s a dark waltz of enthralling beauty, heavier than a black hole and brighter than the full moon. It’s mad, it’s angry, but so is life sometimes. Here’s to contrast!

Sung in two languages (Portuguese and English) this harks from one of Moonspell’s oldest albums. The band released many more in the 22 years that followed and I’m happy to say that the signs of an illustrious career were undeniable even since 1996.

“Full Moon Madness,
We are as one and congregate
Full Moon Madness
We rise again to procreate to seal our fate

Irreverence was cast out from the sky
And eternity lost its sex forever
And under the same heaven they voted to emptiness
They still celebrate under a Full Moon Madness…”

This melody is an enthralling journey into the value of contrast. It bites, but it’s as if it does so only to bring further value to the soft touches that will always follow. It’s a composition of staggering diversity. Few melodies have this much happening in the space of less than 8 minutes. There’s nary a second of boredom and hardly any repetition. The song goes through several movements with excellent pace and in total harmony. It’s a work of art of undoubted rarity.

“I will find the truth within your skin
You keep feeding me distractions
Feeding me lies
But I know the truth is there
In fragments
in bits
and pieces

Tall and slender
But your eyes are lustreless
Your facade may glimmer
Your surface may be smooth silk
You’ve been convinced of your own illusions
But your weary eyes unveil a sinner”
