2009-07-13 / arachna / Reads: 4437

The album „Deliberately Fragile” was released 19th February 2007 in limited and usual versions. My first meeting with Technoir was by accident (if we are to believe in such things) but if someone calls feeling-lucky search on myspace a purposeful then I agree it was done on purpose. And so...

Xandria - Salome - The seventh veil

2009-07-17 / mashenah / Reads: 3083

Xandria’s new album is a symphonic goth-metal filled with neoclassical pathos.
