Cohesiveness, great song arrangements, great instrumental arrangements and very good female vocals. These are the main strenghts of Lyriel, a folk metal band with a profound folk rock flavor as well which merges both elements in a very balanced fashion, giving a whole new dimension to this music. Aside from the folk aspects of the music, there is a classical vibe to it, mostly enhanced by the various cello and violin arrangements. Jessica Thierjung is one of the most underrated female metal vocalists, particularly in a genre such as folk metal where female vocalists are more prominent. Highlights: Tracks 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 and 12. Ok songs: 2, 4, 8 and 14.
