"Though many of the bands compared to H.I.M. sound similar, Poisonblack does separate itself a bit in the fact that the songs have enough interesting things in them that I still listen to the album regularly a year later. They sound much more like Charon, which seems to have a stronger following, but at least the album "The Dying Daylights" doesn't last as long (for me) as does this record. There is a more diverse range of tempos compared to that Charon record and the guitar solos stand out much more. Not quite as dark sounding as Charon, but they sound more like Ozzy and Sabbath at times, which I like alot.



Two types of albums I give 5 stars to: Ones that are very blazingly new sounding, or albums that I can still listen to a year later. This one is the latter."

GREAT!

"This is everything that their previous CD wasn't. A great gothic rock release. I'd heard alot about them over the years, but was just alittle dissappointed when I got "escapexstacy". It was too 80's soft rock. It didn't challenge. I still liked it though.



THIS CD has alot more of a harder groove, and the songs themselves are catchy and razor-sharp. The vocals are a great improvement. I anticipate many plays in my car stereo."
