Lots of gothic metal bands are fortunate to be fronted by an attractive female. Midnattsol has two knock outs! Nordlys (Northern Lights) is the second album from this Norwegian gothic metal band led by Carmen Elise Espenaes (the younger sister of Liv Kristine). The second blonde jaw dropper is bassist Birgit Ollbrunner. Midnattsol inject quite a bit of folk elements but overall this fits neatly into the gothic metal realm. Perhaps a bit heavier than the debut it nicely juxtaposes Ms. Espanaes' upper register vocals with crunchy riffs, speed driven leads and galloping rhythms. While this style is getting a bit overdone I find that Midnattsol is one of the best since they put their own twist on the genre. Limited Edition comes in a digipak and one bonus track.
