Release : CD

For their second album this Spanish band of female vocalist Lady Angellyca and bass player Sergio   still build further on their way of gothic metal. Guitars and the female voice are still having a central role in their music. Keyboards are not having a prominent role but in the end is just like many female orientated gothic metal bands. Lady Angellyca tries to present a lovely sound but her voice contains many revisions, like computer distorted voices, and her Spanish accent it's not always very clear. With her voice she wants to copy Li Kristine of Leaves' Eyes but she is far from reaching that level. Just like their first album “ Alice's Inferno ” Forever Slave loves to work with concepts. In their first album they had the concept of a modern way of telling the story of “ Alice In Wonderland ”. This second album goes about the power of attraction and the problems of sex. The lyrics are dealing with matters like AIDS, relations between people of the same sex, cyber sex and forbidden relationships. If you like Within Tempatation , After Forever or Leaves' Eyes you also will love this kind of music. It's just another gothic female orientated band.
