    It has the type of energy that invades, penetrates and carries the listener forward; it's the perfect balance of seduction and strength.

    Possession is buffed-up, scruffy and forthright gutter metal par excellence.

    Christian Mistress' second formal release--and first full album, if one counts Agony & Opium as an EP--finds the Olympia quintet in even stronger form than before, the group's eager embrace of early-'80s metal energy and singing coming together with a bang once again.

    Bands like this often aren't lucky enough to find singers this subtle, striking, and strong.

    One of the only drawbacks is a lack of memorable hooks from otherwise outstanding vocalist Christine Davis, but the vibe of this album is more than strong enough to warrant a proper listen.
