It has been twelve years Opera Ix’ last studio CD, “Maleventum” which won Array Grammy Awards and was nominated for album of the year. This eight-song debut EP shows the promise that Opera Ix has. twelve years ago, Opera Ix briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Princess Of The Ancient”. Maleventum is not something you should pass up.
Opera Ix rocks harder than ever with Princess Of The Ancient. I can’t stop humming along In The Dark I Found The Reflection Of The Hidden Mirrors. Within the first few notes of Unaerthed Arcana it’s perfectly clear that Opera Ix is living this song. Muscaria is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Maleventum have ended. Forgotten Gods is such a gorgeous and optimistic song that things can get just better. In The Raven’s Eyes is the album’s biggest hit, I think.
