    Part folk, part neo-classical, part metal; The Miraculous could easily be pigeonholed as a gothic record--and sure, there are definitely elements of that.

She knows how to integrate herAnna von Hausswolff moves on The Miraculous to a place where the land is still shaking from a touching past. She knows how to integrate her fantasy world and reality in a way where rock, prog, folk and classical music keeps each other in balance. The organ sounds predominate and in combination with the guitars and percussion balances between the heavy sounds and intimacy. The most striking is Anna's vocal range, which she fully exploited on the album to make a way through her ​​melancholy and lightheartedness. How heavy it may sound as a whole, the aftermath is what does open your eyes to the miraculous place. 8.0/10
