SIRENIA - Arcane Astral Aeons (CD)

Singer Emmanuelle Zoldan`s ethereal mezzo-soprano voice connects all 11 varied and spirited compositions: the insanely melodic Into The Night impressively showcases her abilities and flows into the catchy Love Like Cyanide that`s not even afraid to employ a small handful of black metal trademarks.
Danish producer legend Jacob Hansen managed to harmonize Sirenia's more soothing side with edgy metal sounds and delivers a perfectly balanced wild ride.
