| | AMZ - May, 1999 - Dismal Euphony |
 | | First it's the chamber music and synthesized echo which are always present, but to different stages of effect, then the awesome intensity coming from the guitar, overdubbed at times, but easily verifiable in the traditional metal sense. |
 | | Then, of course, we've got the singer, who's not dissimilar to many female fronted Goth/fl metal bands, but it's her delivery that grows quickly from a soothing whisper to a fear-inflicting scream that'll captivate your nervous system before returning to a calming effect at the start of the next song. |
 | | The album ends quietly with "Dead Words," a highly orchestrated piece led out slowly with piano before fading into the fast approaching darkness, an antithesis to how "All Little Angels" began nine songs earlier. |
