The second and final album from this band from South Africa.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, programming and vocals.
I was not particularly impressed by their 2012 debut album Crimson Passion Play. It was an album with some generic, lifeless symphonic metal in the vein of Nightwish.
Hence I had no expectations to Enraptured, their second and final album.
The band continued down the same path on this fifty-five minutes long album. Symphonic metal, commercial and slick symphonic metal.
The female vocals are good. The sound is good. The mid-tempo music is based on keyboards and guitars. There are some sampled strings here too and the usual vocal harmonies.
The band has moved a couple of millimeters towards goth symphonic metal. They still sounds like Nightwish.
Their version of the Alice Cooper evergreen Poison is rather lifeless and dull.
This is a pretty decent album but nothing more than that. Nightwish fans may want to check out this album.
