The Prophetess is yet another band who has abandoned the majority of it's
original sound to escape back to the gothic days of yesteryear. Gone totally
are the electronics used in previous work replaced entirely with melodic guitar
work. The overall structure of the music remains almost exactly the same as
before just without an electronic element. This seems to be a popular fade with
gothic bands recently in hopes to get back to the true roots that gothic music
initially stemmed from. The Prophetess seems to be doing the job remarkably
well. One can even heard elements of some of the older Love & Rockets material
present on a number of tracks. One thing to mention is the fact that while the
liner notes suggest that keyboards are used on this album, I could not hear
them anywhere on the album. Perhaps they were recorded extremely low in the mix
or just used in a way as to not distract from vocals and guitar work, I can't
be entirely sure as I simply could not hear them at all. In the end they are
a solid, tight gothic rock band with no convictions of being anything else.
