The newest release from Charetta is an EP that really rocks. It seems like the whole infatuation with female fronted metal bands might be winding down. Charetta should do OK, though, because it was never a gimmick with them. They always had their own unique sound and that continues here. While there aren’t huge variants from song to song, this remains tasty metal that leans towards more melodic at times. This band proves they can still deliver with style.

Here we have a short introductory section that’s textural and pretty. It’s got some vocals in the mix, but is just a little over half a minute in length. It literally serves as the intro to the set and the first track.
