In fact, to be truthful, neither are Sorceress of Sin a typical Power Metal band as pinpointed in the press release. The band explores other subgenres of Metal in this album as in the beautiful ballad “Echoes of Existence” where Lisa Skinner shows the operatic facet of her voice. As in many Power Metal efforts, the drums gets relevance and allows drummers to show their talent. Drummer Paul Skinner also does a wonderful job here hitting hard when necessary and faster when the music asks for it. Unlike the great majority of its peers, “Mirrored Revenge” varies a lot the themes. That allows the album not too sound too monolithic when the fan feels that it’s the same track throughout the album. “Parallel Lies,” for instance, sounds very Ozzy Osbournish in his earlier albums. Of course, as it’s always needed in efforts like this, Speed Metal hell – yeah! – appears in the grand finale with “Empyre of Stones,” a hard and harsh track that shows all the aggression the band has to deliver us.
We are witnessing a band that got what many bands desire and look for, but just a few achieve. That thing is called personality. “Mirrored Revenge” shows a band that knows exactly how to sound and how to impress their mark into their music. Sorceress of Sin are clearly a band to reminded in the future.
Sorceress of Sin “Mirrored Revenge” was independently released on November 23rd.
