Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Ava Inferi - Onyx (2011)

This album plays like a Lacuna Coil album but made by a less talented band and producer. It has no atmosphere,  no riffs, no surprises, and no memorable moments. It also has this weird peculiarity where the second half of the album sounds much better produced than the first, but upon looking into it there was nothing I could find indicating the band switched producers, or had any kind of turmoil during the recording process. It's just odd. Fans of Lacuna Coil might find something of value here, but even then I would advise such listeners to stick to the real thing. I give it two stars because I wasn't compelled to shut it off-there is nothing offensive about this album. Perhaps that was the problem?
