Despite having Angels as the main theme, there is not much of angelic in this album. Don't get me wrong, the sounds used in the various tracks are very soft and atmospheric, with orchestral pads that reproduce delicate bowed strings and crystalline choirs, which would be very well suited to represent the beatitude of heaven. However, the harmonies are more often then not leaning towards the darker shades, the melodies and the arpeggios of the piano (protagonist of many sections, including the various interludes) are always melancholic and suspensed. If this release was a film soundtrack, it wouldn't be a light-hearted film. It would be a slow, dark, introspective feature about the gloomy existence of a fallen cherubine, forced to roam the world of the mortals after losing the favours of its divine master.
The album is mostly instrumental, with some sparse appearances of vocals in the form of spoken words, where the artist narrates of encounters with celestial beings, with a dark and low voice, often just whispered, like someone who is revealing a frightful secret to us listeners. There is only one instance of proper singing, in the 7th track "Uriel", with a chant that seems to bring back a bit of brightness inside the dark soundscapes that dominate the album.
I personally enjoyed listening to this album a lot. The dark atmospheres fit the themes very well, but they also reminded me of some softer passages of the Lord of the Rings film soundtrack, so it might be interesting also for those who dwell in the fantasy/rpg soundtracks genre.
