ELEGY OF MADNESS belong to the damned good female fronted metal bands. Somewhere between old Nightwish, Xandria and Epica they play some really catchy symphonic metal tunes like "Insanity" Hybrid Love", "Crawling" or "Legion". The songs are not overloaded and well balanced between heaviness and soulful moments, The vocals cover the whole spectrum between normal clean singing and more operatic pathos and they are indeed first class. Additional rough male vocals add dynamic from time to time. H.L.
The title track is similar to the symphonic metal I’ve come to appreciate in the BC app suggestions. I can’t say I like the whole album but it’s anyway a very pleasant listen and I’m also looking forward to more work from the band. sachavonkarl74
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
