catalogued as Symphonic/Epic Metal. In January 2014, and following the same path of their last album, came You Are Not Alone, with the new addition of the guitarist Sindre Flo Myskja. We will start with The Beginning is Near. The beginning is soft with the female voice and the choruses work as a guide during the entire song. Orchestrations, cadence and interpretations are blended in this excellent track with a spectacular instrumental closing. We continue in this path, and we listen the orchestra and choruses as the introduction for Who Are You, where they show all the power of the epic metal. The interpretations of both vocalists are sensitive and they blend in excellent dialogues. The intermission is a romance between violin and guitar, giving us an epic sound allegory. You Are Not Alone is the song responsible for the album’s name, and it is different from the songs we already hear. Melody and feelings are crowned by the piano and flute, with a beautiful and gentle chorus. Again we could listen to this great duet, Darren and Juliana, both fit perfectly. Almost at the end, we found a spectacular sound twist, giving the song more drama and energy, helping it to become a true jewel. 9
