Theatre of Tragedy – Forever is the World
Genres: Gothic Metal
Label: AFM Records
The newest, and tragically the last, album from these gothic metal pioneers is also one of their finest.
Since the 90’s they’ve been kicking ass and taking names, pretty much starting the trend of dark, haunting metal music with a beautiful siren’s voice, full of dark imagery and emotion.
Forever is the World, in both album and the song, is a bright light of dark music, something that helps to redefine the blueprint for female-fronted gothic metal. It’s a heart wrenching, sorrow filled album full of wicked hooks that are catchy, and choruses that are twice as much so.
If you’re a fan of Napalm Records’ roster of gothic metal (Sirenia, Trail of Tears, etc.) you’ll love this album.
8.5 out of 10.
