This is a hard-edged and rough-hewed sound that is more punk less gothic rock. But they have the Goth edge with atmospherics and desolation. The tracks are strong, powerful, but not relying on simple speed alone, they infuse the atmosphere with a simpler brooding and lots of nightmare. Packed with tight guitar riffs, relentless drum attack and great bass thrown together with just the right blend of moodiness and aggression.“Shooting Stars” and “Ghost in the woods” are excellent, slightly slower with almost desolate vocals and haunting guitar work. Brilliant and moody. “All is Vanity”, however, picks up the pace, a simple, no-nonsense straight up heavy guitar Deathrock track.
It is almost difficult to pick out what I think are the best or my favourite tracks as this whole album is just so damn good!

The Lost Sounds is about aggression, an aggression that is totally timeless, and it's hard to make aggression timeless. You will be introduced to the sounds of the lost sounds not easily classifiable – sometimes fronted by male agony and aggressions at other by female voice equally aggressive. In all cases the music is brilliant varying from distorted guitars breaking into clear acoustics with some electronic noises in the background, relentless drumming and wonderful bass lines.“Reasons to Kill”, “I’m not a machine”, “Don’t Turn Around” has got female vocals and almost wants to remind us of an Xmal Deutchland or even Malaria but with a harder punk edge. “Plastic Skin”, “Do you wanna kill me”, “Die Pax”, “Walk in Line” features the male vocalist with great screaming vocals and excellent guitar and constant drum attack!
“Reasons to Kill”, “I’m not a machine”, “I see everything” really stood out for me and probably worth the buy just for them.

A fascinating name but fortunately this is not the only fascinating aspect of this very talented band. In similiar vein the lable mates Il Giardino Violetto this release is a combination atmospheric, frenzied, manic and an ever so slightly insane mixture of everything one would hope to expect of gothik music and post punk.
Through out the album one is exposed to an orchestrated and expressive music, with guitars that exsquisitely evoke moments similiar to "Only Theatre of Pain" with out falling into the trap of being merely Christian Death clones.
A solid rhythmic foundation that brings to light hatred, love and the dead.Lyrics influenced by the decadent and burial literature reminds one of 19th century gothic.
Harem is a powerful track with great melodic guitars and a pounding rhythm.Vocally reminded again of Madre del Vizio in the best possible way.Gothik rock that is certainly Euorpean in sound with a dark edge.
La Vestizione Starts of with powerful guitars and drums, beating one into a rhythmic chasm.With eery guitars and keyboards enforcing the spooky atmosphere.Emotional vocals lament us in all that is unholy with edge of aggression.
Madre Della Veglia - Wow this track is just incredible!Starting of with bells it emmediatly sets an atmosphere. The almost whisperings leading us deeper and deeper into a darkness.When suddenly it erupts into a frenzy of guitars and drums
This band is spectacular.
Definately highly recommended!!

After a decade ( give or take ) London After Midnight finally returns with another release. However this time with an entirely new line-up and seemingly a new sound. At first listen I could not quite make up my mind about this and in order not too say anything bad about , I listened again and again.
Now I finally think I have a fair opinion of this release as some records do take their time to grow on you.This one however does not.
Initially I wanted to compare this with the very good and solid first two releases of the band but from the start the only thing familiar is Brennan voice.
The Beginning of the End is actually not too bad considering the electronic noises and sampling going on.Actually this is one track that I actually did start to enjoy after several listens.
Feeling Fascist? seems to be infkuenced by Marilyn Manson and I must admit to to being a rather unexciting affair.While it does certainly introduce a livelier tempo and can be considered to be more reminicent of the bands past , it fails to introduce the same satisfaction to the listener.
Heaven Now is actually a very good track and one I think is worthy of subsequent plays and so is Pure and The Pain Looks Good on You.
But I am afriad that is about it.
All in all a rather dissappointing release.
