5.0 out of 5 stars Divine Madness-Secrets review, August 20, 2008

I first heard of this band last year from the HIM message board when someone mentioned that they remade "Wings of a Butterfly." I heard it and was instinately hooked. Victoria has an amazing voice that kind of reminds me of Natalie Merchant or Amy Lee. Very gothic, yet soft, romantic ballads. This 23 song, 2-disc cd is simply...amazing. I highly recommend this cd and cannot wait for another one to come out. Favs: Closer, Redemption, If Tomorrow Comes. It's about time Amazon got this cd on its site, Cdbaby has had it for awhile. Too bad they do not play GREAT stuff like this on the radio instead of Britney and those other poptarts.

Victoria Mazze is a modern-day musical goddess to add to the already awe-inspiring pantheon which includes Sharon den Adel (of course!), Tarja Turunen, Maya Von Doll, Tori Amos, Joanna Newsom, The Mediaeval Baebes et al.
Despite having owned this album for about a year, I've never really managed to progress beyond Disc 1. That is because it is such a perfect melding of truly divine songwriting, melody, riffs, sexuality, sensuality and spirituality! Sure, Victoria is the heart and soul of the band, but the other musicians are also exemplary. The lyrics and songscapes are, by turns, dark, brooding, uplifting, ecstatic, highly symbolic... and overall an epic hymn to female energy.
Personal faves include Closer, Haunted, Secrets, Redemption, Blessed... hell, they're ALL fantastic songs.
You simply can't afford to bypass this unique, fascinating, edgy, magical band with a faorce-of-Nature frontwoman!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Amazing Album, April 15, 2008

This amazing & ambitious 2-CD debut didn't hook me immediately, but after a few listens it grew on me to the point of addiction. Victoria Mazze's vocal range varies from breathy & sensual to operatic. The music is also ambient, dark, mysterious & at times passionate.

There aren't any disappointing filler tracks; standout songs include Secrets, Haunted, Redemption, Show Me, Dirty, Mia, Until The Break Of Day and Closer, which could've been easily a top-40 hit if TDM had major-label backing; it certainly should be more famous than it is.

The sound is similar to Evanescence, but without the overwrought melodrama. One could also compare TDM to the best of Siouxsie & the Banshees' Tinderbox, Peepshow & The Rapture era.

Unfortunately, about 1/2 the band members have left, but I have faith that Ms. Mazze & TDM will carry on with new members. They are way too talented not to.
