            Û  from the Norwegian Gothic Metal Band Not unlike     Û
            Û  the phoenix, Trail of Tears rises from the ashes    Û
            Û  presenting their sixth album with a newfound        Û
            Û  strength. "Bloodstained Endurance" unites the best  Û
            Û  elements of past releases and advances them to a    Û
            Û  new level. Hard metal riffs and a pulsing rhythm    Û
            Û  section form the foundation for sweeping and        Û
            Û  emotive vocal duels between Ronny Thorsen and       Û
            Û  Cathrine Paulsen, whose unique voice, which can     Û
            Û  also be heard on the band's first album, delivers   Û
            Û  the necessary goose bump factor. The duo            Û
            Û  impressively crowns the symphonically arranged      Û
            Û  keyboard and orchestral passages. Terje Refsnes of  Û
            Û  the legendary Soundsuite Studios provides the       Û
            Û  perfect sound, as he also did on Tristania and      Û
            Û  Sirenia's most successful releases, while Finnvox   Û
            Û  gives "Bloodstained Endurance" the final polish in  Û
            Û  the mastering department. Moving Gothic Metal that  Û
            Û  distances itself from all clichés- A very           Û
            Û  impressive renaissance indeed!                      Û
