The Passion of the Goddess ❤ @tarjaofficial

“If all these mountains folded over Would you come down digging deep?“

Well, our bodies break before their time A little strength is hard to find But still I try Well, surely now I do believe That death is coming after me 

This is my favorite song on their new album. It CRUSHED me live, and I love it even more acoustic. 

When the instrumental intro to the album, “Kilimanjaro,” opens with various ambient noises and an electric guitar, it is a huge shock to the system of anyone who was a fan of the first album and of the image that Seryn crafted based on that album, but once you open yourself up to the new sound, it’s pretty incredible. Along with the instrumental additions, the band has increased the role of Jenny Moscoso’s vocals, making her almost a co-lead singer for the band at points. Her voice complements Wheeler’s gorgeously, and she can bring a fire to her to her lyrics that adds a layer to them that the incredibly calm-sounding Wheeler just doesn’t have normally. These changes are instituted in various degrees across the album, with songs like “Path” that sound like Seryn’s original music going up against songs like “Disappear,” which almost sounds like it comes from a completely different band. The new sound works well in any degree it’s implemented in though. Every track sounds gorgeous, and there are no dull moments or down tracks to cause you to lose your attention. As soon as the album was over, I wanted to hear more of this sound, so I’m probably going to have this on repeat for a few months while I eagerly anticipate any new music from these guys in the future. Hopefully the next wait won’t be as long or as difficult as the last one…
