    This band surely deserves respect, as well as more fans. Tokiko Shimamoto is just as good as Angela Gossow in her earlier days. [2] Amen to that.

    Wow I thought this band was long dead. I got a Promo CD of their self-titled album and never heard from them again. Good to see they're still going. I'll have to check out their newer material.

    "Before True Light" is soooo badass. The effects on her voice suck a lot on this track though.
