Don't be fooled by the frightening cover, this group is certainly not something demonic or satanic. The group seem to have decided to drift from their original plan of being an electronic group, and are now exploring more rock venues, and it really does work for them.
"Bones" is the harder of the two tracks, featuring heavy guitar riffs and intense lyrics. Both vocalists come off very strong in this track, but the guitars and drums often drown out the voices, making the real meaning behind the song hard to understand. I am not sure if this was intentional, as I am sure the song was meant to feel intense.
The stronger of the two is certainly "Rain." This song may not be as pounding and driven as the other, but it is all around a much stronger song. The song will drawn in fans of groups like Evanescence and Lacuna Coil, mixing together a flavor of ambiance with their edgy rock sound.
This dual release really threw me for a loop. I had expected more of their mellow synth pop that they had been releasing before. "Magical", their last single, seemed to be the bridge that I had missed somewhere along the way, mixing both the electronic and rock pieces, while "Rain and Bones" is flat out rock-n-roll. I, in fact, like both versions of the group, and hope they continue to do more mixing of the genres until they find their own perfect harmony.
The singles are up for purchase on iTunes here.
