Im Bann der verzaubernden Mystik

9 / 10
➤ "… an impressive album and it delivers everything, modern Symphonic Metal can offer: powerful guitar riffing, well composed orchestral arrangements, catchiness, epic melodies, ballads as well as dynamic and fresh songs … excellent vocalist who keeps the sound perfectly together and stamps her vocal authority on every track … set the bar very high for all other releases in 2023 … a must have …"
(Metal Temple)

85 / 100
➤ "I was already thrilled with the first album. It's no different now. Maybe just a little bit better … all in all very good …"
(Musika BE)

8,5 / 10
➤ "The band stays true to their style, where emotive, melancholic and to some extent dramatic melodies lead a parade of tunes that invite moments of tranquillity … a good album mainly for Symphonic Metal lovers."
(Locos Por El Power Metal)

3,5 / 5
➤ "There are immeasurable reasons why this album impresses. Firstly, there is the lead singer who surely would’ve been a big name back in the day. Lastly, everything else. The album does not require extra immiscibility, it is already blended to perfection. The pounding drum, the beautifully played piano, and riffs; they strike a perfect balance between heavy and melodic. There is a sense of immenseness about the music, despite how straightforward it is. There is a great deal of passion behind it, and I believe that comes through immaculately."
(Sputnik Music)

80 / 100
➤ "… beautifully done Symphonic Metal songs with fresh and hard-hitting Power Metal … variety of styles … at all times musically … reflexive, melodic … Rebecca's beautiful voice stands out a lot, it gives a unique softness to each track …"
(Darkzen Dragon)

8 / 10
➤ "… hat eine sehr ansprechende Orchestrierung … zum Genießen, bei geschlossenen Augen … schöne Vocals … RAVENLIGHT macht bitte so weiter, seit heute habt ihr mindestens einen Stammhörer mehr!"
(Obliveon)

8 / 10
➤ "… I’m very impressed! Symphonic Power Metal is not my thing generally, but what this band are doing is unique to the Irish scene and offers something completely different. It also helps that they’re extremely good at what they do!"
(Burning Metal Irl)

8 / 10
➤ "Symphonic class and not bombastic noise is what we expected, and they bring it with more than a little of their beautiful Irish charm layered in as well …"
(Powerplay)

7,5 / 10
➤ "… einiges an Potential … gute Balance zwischen der metallischen und orchestralen Seite … eingängige Melodiebögen … gefällt mir mit seiner oldschooligen Interpretation des Symphonic Power Metal sehr gut und liefert ein schönes Gegengewicht zu den vielen identisch klingenden Bands, die dieser Tage das Genre bevölkern …"
(Powermetal DE)

72 / 100
➤ "… arrangements are kept simple and, to some extent raw, providing an ideal backdrop for Rebecca Feeney’s mesmerizing performance. She excels both in technique and emotional expression, displaying impressive control and a remarkable low register that adds weight and gravitas to her singing. The transitions between operatic and powerful rock vocals are seamless and a major strength of the album."
(Metal Archives)

70 / 100
➤ "Although 'Immemorial' addresses itself primarily to the users of Symphonic Power and related subgenres, I believe it can easily have its say outside this narrow market as well thanks to a down-to-earth, immediate and catchy making, which shrugs off the all too cloying excesses of certain colleagues and distances itself from certain disposable music. Well done."
(TrueMetal IT)

7 / 10
➤ "… irgendwo in der Schnittmenge aus Nightwish, Edenbridge, Crystal Gates und The Dark Element … Rebecca Feeney drückt den Stücken mit ihrer ausdrucksstarken Stimme den Stempel auf … dürfte für Anhänger dieser Spielart einen willkommenen Neuzugang in ihrer Sammlung darstellen …"
(Hellfire Magazin)

7 / 10
➤ "… not simply looking back … the band also push forward by integrating interesting influences … a strong album that will appeal to a diverse range of listeners … fans of early Nightwish and traditional European Symphonic Power Metal will enjoy it, especially if they’re seeking something less pop-oriented … 'Immemorial' is more than just retrogressive Symphonic Metal and may resonate with Metalheads who enjoy Occult Rock and even female-fronted Progressive Rock."
(Metal Observer)

3,5 / 5
➤ "… vocal approach inspired by Nightwish's Tarja … contains some interesting influences of traditional Irish music …"
(All Around Metal)

10 / 15
➤ "… mit feinen Prog-Elementen. Stimmlich bewegt sich Mrs. Feeney in den höheren, Opern-nahen Bereichen auf … RAVENLIGHT wissen in diesem doch gerade in den letzten Jahren überlaufenden Genre durchaus zu gefallen. Besonders die ab und an eingestreuten progressiven Elemente, die Piano-Passagen und die kluge Entscheidung, die Songs nicht zu pompös aufzublähen, lassen einen immer wieder aufhorchen …"
(My Revelations)

➤ "This optimally functioning, catchy melodic mix can make 'Immemorial' a small, fine treasure for all those who would like to experience it as dreamy and enchanting as possible."
(Sonic Seducer)

➤ "... true, signature Symphonic Metal style … like a good stew, it evolves on low heat … let its flavors meld and blend into each other ... Rebecca's vocals are once again superb and at times rise to the sublime, to a level that definitely and defiantly rivals some of the bigger and indeed biggest names working in the genre ... excellent ..."
(Über Röck)

➤ "Balsam für die Ohren! ... einem Vergleich mit Nightwish können sich RAVENLIGHT definitiv nicht entziehen, aber das ist ja nicht unbedingt ein schlechtes Attribut … RAVENLIGHT greifen allerdings nicht so stark in die Symphonic-Kiste und so könnte 'Immemorial' all jenen gefallen, die klare Frauenstimmen mögen und sich gerne in angenehmen Tönen verlieren …"
(Metalmamas Neuigkeiten)

➤ "… a remarkable Symphonic Metal work … with front lady Rebecca Feeney, the Northern Irish band has a singer with an excellent voice in its ranks, which should not only appeal to fans of classically trained voices, but also to fans of more Rock-oriented vocals …"
(Female Fronted Power)

➤ "... durch ihren variablen Gesang erlebt man Emotionen, die für solche Songs sehr wichtig sind ... eine talentierte Band, die ihre Instrumente perfekt beherrscht ... musikalisch sind sie wirklich sehr gut ..."
(Nightshade)

➤ "… guitars play an important role in RAVENLIGHT’s music. They are strong, with great overtones, with flashy lines, and, most of all, prominent … RAVENLIGHT give Rebecca all the chances to bright very shiny and she does … great …"
(Metal Addicts)

➤ "... full of freshness, but with a certain nostalgic touch ... a good album, strongly reminiscent of Nightwish in their first phase, combining this concept with a more progressive development ... from beginning to end we can enjoy different subgenres in it ... enjoy them!"
