5.0 out of 5 stars Classical hits hard, December 7, 2001

This is a most unique, excellent mix of classical voice and harsh guitar sound. It is wonderful collaboration between classical and metal. If you are tired of the 'same old - same old', I would high recommend this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Musical Deathbed Erotica, December 5, 2004

Let me first say that anything after this isn't worth buying. Without Copernicus working the sequencers, Aesma Daeva turns into an empty attempt at classical compositions, with enough holes in it to sink the Bismarck ten times over.

Here Lies One... is AD's swansong. Their main strength lies in the programming; the all-electronic songs (Disdain, Stay, Darkness, Stromkern) are pure perfection in that department. The mix of hypnotic sequences and keyboard lines and flawless operatic female vocals is found nowhere else. Some have compared this act to Dargaard; this is accurate on some level, especially vocally, but AD's sound is more geared toward electronica and metal rather than straight darkwave. The metal tracks suffer from a lack of a bass guitar and too high a pitch on the guitar, but Prassas can execute the axe pieces just fine. The a capella part on Sanctum is amazing as well. Highly recommended.
