Leaving the stigma of being ex-members of Children On Stun, and writing a new Groove History, this album is on the correct way to be a legend, a cult album.

Ten songs are enough to enjoy this groove experience, Post Traumatic Stress, the first song of the album, has the particular groove sound that enclose this band, from the beginning the guitars, the bass and the voice transport our senses to another time, another world, using hard and critical words that describe the condition that we will live after this critical time. Rise, strident guitars, complex atmospheres and lyrics that clam a strange situation between the desperation and the imperfection. Dirt the third song, for some people is a classic track of this band, but if you didn’t listen it, is one of the best songs of Grooving In Green, with new production, finally, this song has one of the best works of the album, the guitars are more clear, the bass has important lines and the lyrics, like the EP version, are the best hymn of the Groove Goth. Angel, maybe the alter-ego of Dirt, is the next song with a fast beginning and deepest guitars, the perfect combination to prepare us for the next song, Some Kind Of Saviour, a slow song that can gives you everything on a second and leave you in the loneliness of the world, deepest lyrics and the mature sound of the members of the band.
When the music broke ours feelings and the body moves with strident sounds of the night, is the sign of a Premonition, and also is the tile of the next song, a young classic of the new wave of the Goth music, with the classic and particular sound of Grooving In Green with something new, the perfect excuse to up all the volume. Escape Myself, a song what we can enjoy two extras on the album, Tony Pettitt and Stephen Carey, this particular duo makes a loud song, with savage guitars, deepest bass lines and the correct voice, I can’t imagine listen this song with another band.
Serpentine, slow verses with fast and aggressive chorus, the Groovers have on this song the lost treasure, the Eiffel Tower of the album, elegant and perfect, you can listen as well bass lines that reminds the early days of the Goth Rock, guitars that broke the stigma of the early days. Another Day a fast song from the beginning, the new classic groove song, the guitars are more aggressive and deepest, the bass doesn’t have a big appearance but the guitars make that we forget that inconvenient.
The last song, Ninth Circle, ghostly atmospheres on the beginning, guitars with echo effects, the voice of Tron gives a gloomy sound of this track, the perfect choice to finish this album, full of new classics, full of new sounds and with a strange end. It’s not a conceptual album, is an artistic album, leaving old stigmas, leaving old sounds and starting a new history.
