After their surprisingly matured debut 'Music Of Light', ARVEN's second album 'Black Is The Colour' marks the next step forward! It's darker and heavier, but at the same time catches you with beautiful melodies and dreamy passages. A feast for all who dig ear-catching, thunderous symphonic metal songs with a touch of gothic and folk. Exactly the right stuff for all who are into bands like Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica or for fans of female-fronted bands like Edenbridge, Epica or Nightwish. The songs are written by the band's main songwriter Anastasia Schmidt and the charming vocals of Carina Hanselmann dominate the sound of the band.
