AT THE LAKE “Maya”

I’m kinda feeling romantic right now. Don’t know if it has to do with us getting closer to the darkest day of the year or what but for some reason I want to cuddle with my loved one had I had one. At The Lake seems like the perfect choice for that, or at least that is what I hope for. It did start on a high note with some very emotive string fiddling and a wailing female voice. This could very well be the romantic gesture I was looking for. That the intro is followed by a choired intro to the first track told me that this was going to be goth metal the way I like it; big and grand. Combined with the darkness that embraces us up north at this time of the year this album proved to be just what Santa Claus ordered. Perhaps not X-mas come early but still a damn good present to warm yourself by on this cold and lonely Halloween night. Anders Ekdahl
