Good music is more alive than never.

There’s a time in which a band realizes that the moment to find the perfect balance has come!!! After many years of carreer between  eletrodark and melancholic rock…the band has definitively found his style in a perfect way…A perfect melancholic music in which all  influences are used to create a good cd…
I can’t but admit that this album is an essence of melancholic , dark and pure emotions…because through the purity of dark melancholic rock, this German duo is able to give out pure sensitive emotions thanks to the voice of Sonja and the ability of Thomas. I like this union between melancholic music and elektro dark…

Then, let’s go to listen to “Absolution” that comes after the melancholic suite of “No Goodbye”; A perfect song in which elektro dark brings out the decaying atmosphere of the song…The arrangement is great, and I underline this aspect because the band never goes to ebm…and the electronic stuff is perfectly mixed to the nature of the song.

The single “Wie Tränen Im Regen” is simply awesome!!! The song for which the band has realized a video is pure melancholy!!! Sonya gives us shivers and the arrangement brings out the depth through the perfect use of piano integrated  to the rhythmical part. The title of the song is the perfect image of the music…pure dreaming music in which the German language enhances  the music.

The band goes on then this way …”Empty” reflects the atmosphere of the previous song, and it seems the new mark of the band that had already begun this kind of melancholic music path since 2006…but nowdays they seem to have found the perfect mix….In this song I notice the use of minimal electronic stuff…

“Demon Be Gone” is an elektro song that can be suitable for elektro disco…but attention!!! This song always keeps the usual L’Âme Immortelle- mark…pure deep notes and melancholic refrain in which there’s space also for male screaming …Awesome!!…and it’s the same for “The Heart”…another awesome proof of the maturity of the band that seems to have found the very  own mark.

“Banish” is pure melancholy…even if the song is another good one, it doesn’t reach the groove of the other ones.
“Why Can’t I Make You Feel” is fantastic!!! The melody of this song can’t be forgotten…It’s full of depth…pure emotional modern melancholic deep rock!!!!!!!!
“Dort Draussen” confirms me that the band always looks for awesome ideas…and this is the proof…rock mixed to elektro modern disco into a melancholic mood…what can I say more!???...Awesome!!!
The sweetness of “Hold Me” seems to bring us into a tale in which the colour of music draws  the sky of deep blue…
This is the confirmation that good music is more alive than ever….
