I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest.
This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good.
If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt thebluemeanie
It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
Spanish Symphonic Power Metal Band Eternal Dream falls into the Operatic Female Vocals category that a lot of Euro bands employ.
The music however is propelled by strong power chords and virtuoso guitar soloing not unlike Rhapsody (of Fire) & Stratovarius and similar bands of their ilk employ.
Ana Moronta's vocals don't overpower the songs like so many "operatic" singers try to do in similar bands.
