Blooding Mask- The Nine Pearls on the Trail

Blooding Mask “The 9 Pearls on the Trail” Maethelyiah

“Interesting title & the third release from this UK cult act that’s been around since 1992, & though I had read about these guys before in some fanzines, this was my first introduction to their music & they have not disappointed. This time around, this record was conceived by Maetheliah all by her lonesome w/ nine tracks that rummage in orchestral & neo classical moments to nightmarish, Batcave proto rock. As the music moves along almost world music & Victorian mood swings to fits of brash dark rock, Maetheliah´s vocals also jump from heartfelt operatic to straight ahead cold hisses. This is definitely recommended to all fans of gothic & darkwave music, & certainly beyond. I believe she already has a new cd out since writing this so please check out her site for more info.” –Marcos Massarri http://www.maethelyiah.com/bloodnext.html
