Who among the first to the last minute to throw cliches around, the count must be aware that the person is compared with skepticism. NIGHT QUEEN manage to make this skepticism is extremely large. Starting with the name [Band / Title] about the cover up to the band logo - everything is permeated with kitsch and clichés. One can only hope that the album of the Belgian one can really surprise you. "For Queen And Metal" - sorry but the title is really a launch - starts, how could it be otherwise with a classical intro. Next is a sugary sweet but very well staged compound symphonic metal song that can score points with its details and its quite a change. This one is immediately reminded of the first EDENBRIDGE.
Tone things down a dominant keyboard that often takes the lead and attention to detail provide a good mix. Somehow sugary and cheesy and still set with so much wealth of detail and love the scene that the material can convince. Singer Keely Larreina however, is a true taste of fall. Somewhere in between, I will sing high - can not, and I sing low - but do not want this, she makes her way through a medley, which also brings with it a horrible accent. Unintentionally this results in a separate note, however, remains a very strong taste. In itself it does not work on the wrong lot. The songs blend all is well with a work together and also to experiments avoided in general. remains at the end of "For Queen And Metal", a typical, fairly well-implemented and quite interesting symphonic metal album that recalls but sometimes too much to EDENBRIDGE . For a change in the numbers is provided and the technical craft is enough to inspire the time to. Although it depends on the current icons of the scene behind but still a lot for a small surface-treat it right this spring, just in Sun

On saying that, 'The Serpent's Curse' is really very good. When you cut through all the pomp and drama you will find an album of ferocious symphonic and Goth Metal that could make a good soundtrack for an invasion of the armies of darkness as they march across the tabletop of yer local war games emporium.
The one thing it lacks is a killer track. Opener 'Cry Of Our Nation', after a gentle intro kicks in with a big symphonic heavy as fuck drive that promises some serious action and sets the scene for the rest of the album. There are bits that fleetingly grab your attention but there is no one track that demands you press play again; nothing that could set this record apart from the rest of the herd.
The biggest disappointment, however, about 'The Serpent's Curse' is lead vocalist Emily Alice Ovenden. As a member of the number one selling act Mediaeval Baebes, she has strangely omitted to bring any ye olde worlde influences to bear on the album. I say strangely because Pythia seem to have borrowed bits from everywhere else except the one place that could have made a real difference; the traditional heritage of their homelands.
It is a mix that has been proven to work very well and would have lifted this album from the very good to the simply outstanding.
Despite the criticisms though, this album is more than capable of standing on its own two feet and if the dramatic, heavy and pompous Metal of the Wagnerian Gothic is your thing then I think you will find 'The Serpent's Curse' most worthy of your time.
Play loud.
