After the release of last year's 'Diary Of A Lost', it's now time for the successor 'A
Stranger To Tears' from the Swiss dark-rockband The Beauty Of Gemina. On this album the band
once again delivers a mixture of dark-rock, wave, industrial and electro. The unique vocals
of Michael Sele, which reminds in some way of Alexander Veljanov's voice, is floating in a
rather impressive way around the darkness of the new songs. The difference with 'Diary Of A
Lost' is though pretty obvious. The whole album sounds a lot more powerful and better
actually.

'The Beauty Of Gemina' succeeded in adding some inventive rockelements which are a benefit
to the use of hard-hitting beats and the intensive, dark synthsoundwaves, without losing
sight of the 'dance-ability'. The more atmospheric pieces are reduced to the minimum but a
sober song like 'Into Black' is more than welcome on this kind of cd.
The massive bassloops and soundscapes are - as I would say - almost typical for this band.
You actually absorb the sound of this album and it does not let you out untill the last tone
passes away.

The lyrics are all about pain, despair, loneliness and redemption like in almost every other
gothrock-related band's lyrics, but never they sound deserted and lost, just hopeful. In
songs like 'Last Kiss', 'Heart Of A Gun' or 'In Your Eyes' you can easily find tips of clear
emotion. In fact, you get emotional hints through the sixteen songs or 75 minutes of the
entire album.

With 'A Stranger To Tears' The Beauty Of Gemina' shows that their country - wellknown for
it's mountains, chocolates and Emmentalcheese - is now also situated on the musicmap.
Knowing, the second release is always a tough one, this album shows that the best is yet to
come.
