Third full-length album by Norwegian Symphonic Gothic/Black Metal band.
The previous TRAIL OF TEARS album "Profoundemonium" was accompanied by much negativity, with female vocalist Helena Iren Michaelsen as the centre of these disturbances. Now they are back with a vengeance, having found Cathrine Paulsen to take care of the vocal duties along with Ronny Thorsen. The result has been called "A New Dimension Of Might". And result sounds angry! Compared to their previous album they have gained a lot of aggression in their music, sometimes sounding more like Black Metal than their previous Dark Gothic Metal categorisation. However, they have not entirely thrown away their old concepts, but rather added a new twist to their sound. And hey, it worked!
"A New Dimension Of Might" is best described as a perfect equilibrium between Dark Gothic Beauty and Black Metal aggression. This record is one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2002 Metal year!
