During the first minutes, the music of this Portuguese band wiggles in slow, monotonous and atmospheric manner; sonorous and felicitous vocals dominate the sentiments besides calm guitar chords, ere harsh vocals come into operation while the speed is augmented. Very nice vocal harmonies and unloading instrumental parts take on the lead; an extremely contained mood is spread, because a spoken voice and reduced instrumentation take place. Afterwards, the spirit changes again, as a moderate aggressive touch can be felt and we can see that the variable way of composing shows up clearly during the opening tracks Neophyte and Os Vultos.
Wonderful vocals and moody sounds are also celebrated during the felicitous song Lady Of Shalott. In contrast, the following tune Liber XLIX
is more aggressive, caused by the raging vocals. The same is true for The Lost King Of The Lyre with interspersed double bass, ere the epic concluding work Chrysopoeia invite to a rollercoaster ride through all kinds of moods.
For me personally, the band sounds a bit like My Dying Bride concerning the build-up of sentiments, but without the hefty Death Metal outbursts. The voice might enthuse all likers of The Foreshadowing.

In all, the quite long tracks hold a lot of suspenseful parts and decent variations. Consequently, it is a pleasure to look in The Mirror Of Deliverance!
