Wonderful and sincere 90s goth rock

"While the stuff on this album has been made fairly standard by bands like The Mission UK and a whole wave of 90s goth rock bands, the music on this album is all well-written, energetic, and emotional.Most of the song structures feature a standard drum/guitar/bass/vocal outfit with the addition of atmospheric keyboard that is often reminiscent of the keyboard sound on The Cure's Pornography album. The songs are held together by the sincere and emotive voice of Mark Hawks, which helps set The Prophetess apart from other 90s goth bands.The songs range from danceable, full-force goth rock anthems (notable tracks include "Embrace My Love" and the unique, guitar riff-based "Destiny Never Forsake") to lighter, acoustic guitar ballads like "Sylvia".The whole album is very consistent, flows well, and definitely surpasses a majority of similar 90s goth bands in both style and emotion."

Great release from Prophetess, in my opinion - their best

"This CD is quite a gem if your looking for an experience. I can play this CD from beginning to end and its like it takes you to a whole other place. The songs really grow on you too after just hearing the CD once you'll find it runs through your head all day long.



My favorite tracks are "Crucifixion of Sanctity", "Embrace My Love" and "Avalon"."
