After Dianne, my favorite of their previous vocalists, left back in 2017, they toured with Aeva Maurelle for a little while, and their future was somewhat in limbo until Ambre Vourvahis joined the pretty much all-new lineup last year. My boy Marco Heobaum, the architect of the band, is the only original member left.
Their earlier stuff has a bit of a gothic vibe to it, and with Neverworld's End, they started to shift towards a more aggressive power metal sound that I absolutely love. Sacrificium is my current favorite album of theirs and is an absolute masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. The disappointment that I felt after learning that Manuela left the band quickly went away once I heard Dianne's voice on the opening track. Everything just blended together so perfectly on that album. I need to spend some more time listening to Theater of Dimensions, but it's very good as well.
I can't wait to hear their new album, The Wonders Still Awaiting. Ambre is so adorable, and from the little that I have heard of her so far, she has a lovely voice.
