BIANCA's first self-titled album is an enigmatic eight-step journey into the power of the human mind and the unconscious dimension as a messenger of precious insights for interpreting reality. A deep dive into the non-material aspects of human life and their transformative potential. No idea of religion, but a radical atheist and humanistic stance within the musical language of black metal, merging melodic nuances in an atmospheric embrace. A sorrowful struggle runs through the veins of BIANCA's music, chilling to the core, yet captivating and transporting the listener to uncertainty.

The album has eight songs, and "The Dawn" is first. It sets a very dark tone, with a lot of tension. Something stirs in the underground. With the clean vocals, some of the edges fade away, and moving into "Abysmal," more dark tones and tension abound. For me, it sounds like a storm brewing on the horizon…you can feel the winds pick up, and can see the ominous dark clouds. What follows is a balanced sound between the heavy aggression of the music and vocals that rage at times. The cleans are just as firm, and they also usher in some shadowy melodies.  The vocals are like the flip of a switch at times, from even keeled melancholy, to pure hatred.

"Somniloquies" begins with sharp drumming and smooth vocals, that are both blotted out by the following rage. It's almost like a person with two distinct and varied moods…you never know which is around the corner. Segueing into "Nachthexe," the beginning is tense once again, and you are once again not prepared for the level of aggression the band brings. Her screams are like a lightning bolt ripping across an otherwise clear sky. Her smooth cleans bring you back down from the heights, and they make the screams that much more vivid.  "After Dark" is a short, two minute song that again spends a good deal of time in the shadows.

The clouds part, and in enters "Todestrieb." The contrast is what is most striking about the music on the album so far. Her clean vocals are almost welcoming, but the bite and the fire of the music warns you to stay far away. "Resonance" feels to me as if the undead master is summoning an army to wage war on earth. Drums beat, and forces gather. They are outfitted with weapons and armor, and are preparing for the upcoming battle they are destined to win. To the Twilight" is the final offering, and it has a powerful, punishing sound. The vocal screams could wake the dead…that's how impassioned they are, and the hasty sound is akin to you running at top speed trying to escape a serial killer who keeps gaining.

This was an uncommon sound, fueled by dual opposing vocal styles. They lure you in, with seductive notes, and then eat your soul with all the fire and hatred of Hell itself. The music undulates with the vocals…at times, as raging as a tsunami, and at other times, calm. The fires burn deeply on the album, like a festering wound that has added salt for more pain, and topped with a barbed dagger inserted into the lesion.
