Celestia's distinctive core sound remains intact; eerie keys have been introduced, but Noctu's tortured screaming, which offsets the beauty of Celestia's melancholic melodies, has not been discarded.

Given that this is a demo, the poor production can be excused, and there is still much cleaning up to be done; the keys should be slightly less prominent for a start. But as a teaser for only the second Celestia full-length, it succeeds in whetting the musical appetite, and I await the next instalment with bated breath.
