Beauty in Darkness – Vol. 5 – Review

February 22, 2002

Blessed by the Night – The Dark Metal Compilation Vol. 1 – Review

Lacuna Coil – In a Reverie – Review

September 1, 1999

Layered, belted-out female vocals punctuated by a growling guy. It’s not Goth enough to be Goth, and not brutal enough to be metal. Your parents will like it.
