THE MURDER OF MY SWEET Divinaty Frontiers (2010)

The Murder Of My Sweet

A new band signing to Frontiers although one of the main people behind the band is certainly well known, one Daniel Flores of Mind's Eye fame. The band also have a very talented female singer in Angelica Rylin. What a set of pipes she has! Ranging from Kate Bush one minute to a more female prog metal sound.

Listening to the album it does remind you of Mind's Eye and in fact you could say at times this album is like a female fronted Mind's Eye. But there are some new musical avenues explored including the pomp rock of 'Valerie' (Journey meets Dream Theater) and the single, 'Bleed Me Dry' which is an instant hit on the ears.

On 'Follow The Rain' the band throw in everything bar the kitchen sink with sweeping strings, banks of keyboards and guitars along with Angelica's vocals. 'Death Of A Movie Star' is a real OTT musical ride, featuring masses of harmony vocals (very Queen like in their construction) and lots of orchestration.

A very accomplished debut album and hopefully they will do another album as it would be criminal if this was the only musical output from this collection of musicians. Whether you like pomp rock, Dream Theater, Mind's Eye, Muse - this album will be right up your street.
