J Strauss: Simplicius

Search: Sixes and Sevens

World premiere recordings of Johann Strauss's stage works don't come along too often. EMI has put a winner on the market here, lavishly presented.

At Sixes and Sevens

Search: Sixes and Sevens
by: Sirenia

Release Date July 15, 2002
I tend to go through phases where a certain style of metal catches my eye (ear?) and I will spend the next few weeks looking for other examples of the style. This was the album that reignited my passion for gothic metal.

If you're familiar with the "Beauty and the Beast" style of music (angelic female vocals combined with agressive, growling male vocals) you'll have an idea of what to expect. However, that to me doesn't do this album the justice it deserves.

On the female vocal side, they are always beautiful and at times contain an ethereal, otherworldy quality particularly on "Manic Aeon" where the vocals bring to mind "Curve" at their most mellow. On the male vocal side, there are plenty of growling moments (although ... Read More:
