专辑简介

Middle Pillar Presents announces the new full-length album from Aenima. Entitled Sentient, their third release is a stunning production of darkwave, ethereal and gothic rock songs with an epic layering of female siren song harmonies.
　　
　　Aenima’s style emerges right from the start with "Lilith", which has already received immense airplay from European and US radio due to its appearance on their previous EP Never Fragile. This newly re-mastered version sets the tone for the album: jangling effected guitars working in tandem with a spirited rhythm section while singer Carmen’s lilting vocals caress the melodies of Sentient..
　　
　　The album brings to life the spirit of their live performances, which have been praised in European press. Each song builds on the strengths of the band as the album continues - the eclectic range of the musicians and the dynamics between them display a wide range of emotion and depth throughout the twelve songs of Sentient. The haunting beauty of "Silently There" shimmers with light jazz drumming and evocative faerie-like vocals chanting hypnotically "…here comes the dark". The bittersweet "Pale" builds from a calm serenity to an epic wave of guitars and drums, eventually blending back down into the beautiful a capella track "Dusk". Carmen’s versatile voice shines here, as a beacon before and after the storm. This follows through to "The Lighthouse", where her voice becomes a seductive lure over insistent rhythms and industrial percussion, weaving harmonic temptations throughout the piece.
　　
　　Nature’s tranquility is evoked in "Morningrise" while "The Soil Stained Black" sets a sultry mood with its whispered vocals and erotic guitar. The tribal rhythms and vocal invocation of "Eclipse" propel Sentient to a bombastic and frenzied climax until the solemn guitar melody of the instrumental "Song for a Moonlit Mermaid" brings the album to a wistful close.
　　
　　Sentient is an hour of music that captures the essence of Aenima through its layers of guitars, rhythms and vocal harmonies that enliven and tempt the heart.
