She can carry the more melodic segments with ease (вЂњSailing Far AwayвЂќ) but as already mentioned, has the power to energize the heavier moments too. As enjoyable as the musicianship is (a highlight in and of itself, and should not be understated), Rosellini will no doubt be singled out for her engaging vocal performance. Mid-tempo and driving songs like вЂњRomeвЂќ also find a place of their own in this middle ground вЂ“ energetic yet grounded, with choruses that are catchy and guitarwork that is eloquent without being too flashy. One wouldnвЂ™t go so far as to say itвЂ™s вЂbrutal,вЂ™ but the darker delivery and strong riffing gives them some distinction amid the more usually upbeat acts in the genre. Similar gloomy yet powerful vibes can be gathered from вЂњIвЂ™m the Loneliness,вЂќ and thereвЂ™s some strong contrast between growls and vocalist Nicoletta RoselliniвЂ™s charismatic lines. ThereвЂ™s always enough darkness to ensure they donвЂ™t get labeled as a вЂpoppyвЂ™ symphonic metal act, and some heavier riffs and supporting growls are a pleasant climax that lead-off track вЂњCrossing the Final GateвЂќ builds to effectively. Welcome to the New World is a solid step-up and shows them as a rising gothic metal force.Д«orrowing from both symphonic and gothic metal in nearly equal portions, Walk in Darkness do manage to appeal to a large quadrant of melodic metal fans. Quick turn arounds are often a sign of overflowing creativity, or leftover ideas (which lead to similar sounding albums) вЂ“ thankfully Walk in Darkness fall into the first camp. First introduced to Walk in Darkness through a random find on Bandcamp last February for the release of their debut, In the Shadows of Things, the band has returned exactly one year later with their follow-up.
