“Nosferamor” unveils the Vampyric shroud of darkness, mysticism, love and pain. Behold the encounter of a mortal man and an undead beauty, folding into a heartbreaking love story. Feel the shivers of a passion of such depth, that the burden of immortality is but a small sacrifice.

The music of Encryption will especially appeal to those who occasionally enjoy classical compositions which draw a certain dark gothic curtain around them (put out the light, light a few candles and enjoy the music.

The production on the sequel of “Secrecy” sounds much more mature.

In the sphere of the darkest moments of Arcana or Dark Sanctuary Encryption creates also thematically a sequel on their predecessor.

“Nosferamor” may have the inspiration of ‘Vampyrism’, but the first part is still inspired by ‘End Of The Ordo Libidis’. This time the band has listened to the prayers of Silverwar (during her review of “Encryption”) and written down the lyrics and the (short) story of both parts in the tasteful booklet. There are also some changes in the Belgian band, because Lady Satine (backing and second line voices) is named as a new band member and Roger Keppens is the voice on the great song ‘Parit Dolum’. Lady Clarisse (the female lead vocals) sounds much better as well as on their previous album. Her high voice sounds much more in balance (although it’s sometimes still on the edge of right and wrong, like on ‘The Mind And I’ and ‘The Serpent Flame’). This is however critic from the biggest critic of all, because “Nosferamor” is (again) a succeeded attempt to combine melancholic church music with female voices and film-like passages. Master brain Lacrimas can be satisfied again with a nice and atmospheric album!
