Album Notes & Community Reviews

Embracing a more polished, radio-friendly sound compared to their heavier metallic roots, this album leans heavily into romantic 'love metal'. Ville Valo's deep, crooning vocals dominate the record, delivering highly poetic, gothic-tinged alternative rock focused almost entirely on bittersweet, passionate romance.
