    Is all this demonic sounding music meant to be impressive, is it a joke, I guess I didn't find it funny, or the least bit entertaining, certainly about as far as one could get from PLEASANT MUSIC (she capitalises each letter of each song to make sure we get the point that she is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DARK...) oh give me a break.

This "artist" needs to take some deconstipants and spend some time on the loo, because all this forced singing is good for is pressing out a blob of what the music sounds like.… Expand

    An even deeper dig into the wound exposed on her debut. The album is drenched in divinity, its consideration of good and evil as polar concepts is biblical, elevating vengeance to a God-given imperative. Her classically trained voice deals in spiritual cadences, and commands gothic instrumentation of strings and drones. [Aug 2019, p.58]

    Hayter is classically trained, and there is emotional as well as technical brilliance to the way she expands her vocal palette here.

    From start to finish, this album feels like an exposed wound, freshly – you might almost say studiously – picked and mastered to tape. It is an album of baroque intensity and gothic flamboyance played out like one long cathartic scream. Like an onion, it offers up layer after layer to slowly unpeel, each one a potential incitement to the very bitterest tears.
