2010, Tristania has long been one of the world's leading gothic metal bands and its latest outing, RUBICON, demonstrates that the Norwegian outfit needn't worry about losing its footing in that arena any time soon. While not the overwhelming triumph that previous efforts (1999's BEYOND THE VEIL, 2005's ASHES) were, RUBICON marries the traditional dark, heavy riffs and dark, operatic vocals of the genre to stunning effect on tracks such as ,,Year Of The Rat" and ,,Sirens", and shines its light on the pure beauty of Mariangela Demurtas's world-class voice. RUBICON will take its rightful place in the band's catalogue as a fine and at times brilliant work.
