  This album sounds like a lighter version of the solid predecessor Lost in Forever. The production is professional, the musicianship is solid and the singer has improved her skills. Still, the song writing is bland and most of the tunes are forgettable. Heart of the Hurricane is neither a bad nor a good album. It's an unremarkable, tame and exchangeable plastic product save for very few exceptions. Fans of the band will like what they hear. If you miss the good old gothic pop days of Within Temptation, L'Âme Immortelle and Evanescence fifteen years ago, you should also give Beyond the Black a chance. If you ever wondered what Ed Sheeran with heavy rock guitars in a metalized pop outfit would sound like, you will get some answers here. If you look for creative song writing, energetic team spirit and unique songs to be remembered however, you should just ignore this bland effort. Similar bands like Amaranthe, Elvellon and even Kobra and the Lotus have much more oomph. These bands that are worth being labeled as such and not just casted extras surrounded by a selfish diva and greedy producers provide a much more organic and unique sound than this record. Don't be among those who get fooled into believing that this seemingly authentic band could be the next big thing in the symphonic metal scene.

• The discovery of the year. First-class musicians and a voice that gets under your skin.
