Hristo Gospodinov’s music is getting more and more like that of Ulf Soderberg (also as Sephiroth), and I don’t mean the sub-genre, but rather the healthy predictability of the two gentlemen. Predictable to the point, that one could actually consider their music as unoriginal, if not for the fact that...

‘The Final Asylum’ is a brilliant album. Writing anything more would be tantamount to erecting a shrine of Hristo Gospodinov and starting a new religion. However, some of you, who possess the ability to read more than two lines of text without gasping, might regard my blasphemous assurances as typical...

The first song has all chances of becoming widely known and liked. It's pleasant to listen, very melodious like the whole album itself. Gentle electronic playing combined with subtle male vocal. I could say a bit ironically that the vocalist wails like the leader of HIM. But don't worry... it's...
