After four full length albums and three EPs in seven years, Intervention Arts must have thought it was time for a compilation of old material. However, there are no songs taken from two of the EPs. The album starts with the attractive The Dark Romantics. This gothic rock song has the characteristic dark sound, while Ashton Nyte's eccentric vocals fit in very neatly. As you may expect, this compilation displays the different aspects of the band. Martyr from the Fountain EP is a great atmospheric rock song that I liked from the start. Amethyst is a dark piano ballad, and the previously unreleased track Vampyre Girl is a heavy gothic rock song. There are also electronic elements in the music. The album contains fifteen songs from a talented band.
