Mic duties have been handed to Nikola Mijic, he’s definitely a different brand of singer, lending the melodic heavy metal of these Brits a shade of power metal, whereas Michael Eden gave it more of a hard rock touch.
Despite the change in vocals, the music underneath it remains the same: energetic, mid tempo anthems dealing with various religious subjects. Without going into great detail, you can expect catchy, almost gospel-summoning choirs mixed with grandiose chorus melodies. Single ,,Evil And Divine” and especially the title track are among the best songs Eden Curse has penned. Even the ballad ,,Falling From Grace” is a vast improvement over previous efforts like ,,Guardian Angel”. At thirteen tracks, SYMPHONY OF SIN stretches the attention span, especially since the typical Eden’s Curse fare is frequently interrupted with oddities as ,,Unbreakable” and ,,Rock Bottom”. They are a curious mold of eighties pop rock (à la Journey) and the modern Avantasia brand of ambitiously bombastic hard rock / melodic metal.
