Illuminate - Zwei Seelen
Review by Nicholas Ustick
Illuminate's album Zwei Seelen is a stunning piece of art that captivates the listener with its haunting melodies and powerful lyrics. The German band's ability to blend elements of symphonic metal and gothic rock is truly impressive, creating a unique sound that is both dark and beautiful.
The album's opening track, "Ein Neuer Tag," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its brooding guitar riffs and atmospheric synth lines. Lead singer Johannes Berthold's vocals are both haunting and emotive, perfectly complementing the music's dark and moody vibe.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Zwei Seelen," which features a beautiful piano intro and a soaring chorus that will give you chills, and "Lebendig," which showcases the band's heavier side with its crushing guitar riffs and thunderous drums.
