This progressive/gothic Italian band enters the metal world with its self-titled E.P., and in the process introduces the haunting vocals of Cristina Scabbia, who isn't hard to look at, either...
The music is very atmospheric, but a bit more experimental (and less metal) than it will become on future releases. Very "The Gathering" like, though a bit disjointed in terms of the songwriting. However, improvements will definitely be made.
The top spots include the smooth flow of "No Need to Explain," as well as "Soul Into Hades".

TRACK LIST: No Need to Explain/The Secret.../This is My Dream/Soul Into Hades/Falling/Un Fantasma Tra Noi (A Ghost Between Us)
