Info:
Lead vocal duties are shared by two equally able vocalist in Christian Palin (Random Eyes) and Mats Levin (Yngwie Malmsteem, Therion, At Vance). Christian contributes an even and smooth sounding vocal delivery to “Face Of Death”, “Hollow” and “Mirror” while Mats bestows a gritty but clean style to the albums five remaining vocal compositions. (The ninth track to ROTO is an instrumental entitled “Come Serenity”.) Jani Stefanovic effectively fills in on lead guitar – check out his flashy work on “Ashes” and “Mirror” – and combines with Timo Kuusjarvi (Random Eyes) to handle the albums rhythm guitar duties. Patrik Gardberg (Ammotrack) and Plec (Unmoored) make guest appearances on lead guitar, the two bringing out the best in “Essence Of Sorrow” and “Supreme Oppression” with their technical wizardry. Mikko Harkin provides for just the right amount of atmospheric touch on keyboards, while drummer Rolf Pilve (Dreamtale) rounds out the rhythm section with bassist Andreas Olsson (Narnia, Divinefire).
