Stream Of Passion is the brainchild of Arjen Lucassen. It originated as an internet project in which a number of members all over the world edited each other's music files. Only then did the group come together to record the successful album Embrace The Storm (2005). In the meantime Lucassen has devoted himself entirely to his hermit project Ayreon and Streams Of Passion has mainly become the band… of the Mexican singer / violinist Marcella Bovio. She is the only one who knows how to give some added value to the much heard symphonic goth metal that The Flame Within propagates. A barely dynamic sound in which eternal guitars mingle with endless screeching strings. Bovio deserves better because she has a powerful and clear voice and sometimes reminds me of Anneke van Giersbergen. In addition, her lyrics convey more intimacy and poetry than the musical interpretation suggests. Special is the cover of Street Spirit by Radiohead, which has a quiet structure for the first time. It implies that not only Stream Of Passion but the entire goth metal genre could use some new impulses. (MR)more
