The three women join in a brief, icy chorale in the brief opening theme, Life Needs Love, rising to full-blown High Romantic angst. Daaé brings the fullscale plaintiveness, Lin edges toward grit and Rosellini is the big belter. While all the singers have versatile chops, their voices are distinctive. The central theme is angst, more or less: a love rivalry is involved, although it’s hardly over-the-top. Three strong, individualistic frontwomen from the world of heavy rock – Justine Daaé, from French death metal-lite band Elyose Mizuho Lin of Brazilian group Semblant, and Italian band Kalidia‘s Nicoletta Rosellini – blend and contrast their voices in a collection that transcends stadium rock.
You could call this the heavy record the Motels never made.
Their debut album – streaming at Spotify – is a concept record of songs that look at pain from a distance. Not to be confused with the punkish Berlin trio, this is a new group. One of the strangest and most distantly haunting albums of the year is the debut album by the Erinyes.
