A Spell Inside - Loginside

2009-07-25 / Medea / Reads: 3794

‘Loginside’ is the fourth and long awaited album of A Spell Inside. It was published nearly five years after the previous album, ‘Vitalizer’.

Xandria’s new album is a symphonic goth-metal filled with neoclassical pathos. Unfortunately, the banal pop melodies force us to deal with (forgive me) a metal version of Modern Talking ('Sisters of the light'). Quite a few songs included on ‘Salome’ seem to be perfectly fit for the qualifying rounds of...

After the death of Coil’s John Balance, there was absolutely no doubts about ending the band’s activity. But the second half of Coil, Peter Christopherson, is way too creative to end his career with the end of his mother band. Just after releasing the final, farewell Coil album, "Ape Of...
