Wasn't a fan of the singer. I didn't know it was a chick. The music is awesome though.
I wasn't sure if she was a woman or not at first, since she has that "demon Peter Gabriel wearing pale facepaint in Genesis" thing going on in the music video for The Aging Man. However I quite like her voice myself. She's got impressive range and power to her.
But yeah, the music itself is pretty killer.
Wow! This year has just been one of the most amazing years of good new music in my entire lifetime.
This is freakin amazing. I've just been consistently blown away by amazing new music lately. It's a fantastic time to be a music fan.
The only bad part is that there's almost too much amazing stuff to keep up with it all.
I love this so much I'm going to buy it before the end of the week if I get the chance.
Yeah, it's definitely hard to keep up with all of the great bands that are surfacing these days. In any case, I'd say it's still preferable to how it was a few years back, when word of mouth didn't have quite as much reach and immediacy as it does now thanks to the growth of the Internet via YouTube and music streaming.
Finally a female singer who doesn't just sing high. Love her ranges and her versatility. Gonna be following this band now.
She's definitely different to a lot of the female vocalists I've heard in metal bands lately. I still like singers such as Floor Jansen and Pamela Moore (whose solo album a couple years back was
awesome) quite a lot, but Fia stands out. Her Peter Gabriel-esque persona is definitely interesting too.
