    !!!NEW OI REVIEW!!!

    Review By Origivation Magazine's Raichyl Nelson
    http://www.origivation.com/Temps/issue20060502_Silvertide.htm

    "A brilliant shade of gothic music is how one might describe Of Infinity's new release of "The Essence of Infinity." The album is vibrant with the flavor of pure emotion. Not only that but the band has enough musical talent to carry the soul that is "The Voice Without," "Shadow of a Lie" and "It's Only Forever." This EP brings to all of us that piece of serenity within melodious walls and gives us something that we can get lost in. Recommended for fans of Nightwish, Opeth and Evanescence. In short, "Of Infinity paints the pathway to the soul with musical colors and classical perfection.""

    !!!!New Of Infinity Interview!!!!

    antiMusic.Com has done an interview with Of Infinity's vocalist, Alessandra. Read up on it at: http://www.rocknworld.com/morley/06/OfInfinity.shtml

    Interview Preview:

    "Of Infinity is a young, new band that is turning a lot of heads in the metal world. They are powered by the tandem of vocalist/keyboardist Alessandra Zinicola and guitarist Nazareth Sando. They released their debut EP, "The Essence Of Infinity" earlier this year and received lots of attention from all the metal press. Their brand of lush goth-metal is fringed with classical elements along with barb-wire guitar bursts. I spoke to Alessandra this week about the history of the band and why people are paying such close attention to Of Infinity..."


    !!!!Of Infinity Reviews!!!!

    THE BEDLAM SOCIETY (Canadian Music Magazine)

    http://www.bedlamsociety.com/reviews.asp?reviewId=963&title=Of+Infinity+%2D+The+Essence+of+Infinity+%28Independent%29

    "Fans of Lacuna Coil or Evanescence should rejoice, because there’s a new kid on the block, Of Infinity. The Texas-based quartet has put out an EP that is full of the goth-tinged metal that defines the other bands. Unlike than the others however, there is more of a metal bend than the more commercial approach of the likes of Evanescence. Despite the piano, acoustic guitar, violins and other more tranquil aspects of the EP, the guitars are barbed wire sharp, and the pace is steady.

    There are three tracks on the EP, all of which have various passages, mostly majestic verses building up to exquisite choruses. The material is fronted by the clear and impressive vocals of Alessandra Zinicola. All of the three songs have a really well defined melody line, and work as both instrumentally exciting and as actual structured songs, something that doesn't always happen with this type of material. With talent such as this, great things should be expected from them in the future."



    NOW ON TOUR

    http://www.nowontour.com/reviews/record/print.php?id=01050

    "I wasn't expecting the blast of powerful music that is contained on Of Infinity's debut EP, The Essence Of Infinity. There are just three cuts here but they all make a less-than-subtle impression on the listener. This is melodic goth-metal at its best. You could draw Lacuna Coil as a close comparison point. The entrancing vocals of Alessandra Zinicola are the focal point for the band, as she effortlessly scales the heights like a bird.

    The first cut, "The Voice Without" starts off with a blast of chords and a regal-sounding guitar intro before giving away to a double-bass fury. Alessandra's soaring vocals enter like a refreshing blast of cool air in the sweltering heat. The song is expertly paced, switching between the measured verses and the assault which accompanies the excellent chorus. Acoustic guitar and piano are cleverly woven in places to help give some depth to the piece.

    The next cut, "Shadow Of A Lie" begins with a restrained, troubadour-esque intro that soon steps aside for a furious attack. Complete with an inviting violin spiritedly leading the charge, the combinations of sounds are lethal. Alessandra's clear and attention-wrestling vocals again ride the song to its destination. There are some interesting curves and detours in this song. A break in the aggression allows the music to decompress for a second, giving you a chance to catch your breath. A splendid solo rips the band back into gear as the song swings towards its conclusion.

    "It's Only For Forever" is an awesome track that begins with a gritty guitar passage over a piano backdrop. Alessandra's voice really shines on this cut, augmented by the harmony parts that are dropped in here and there. She can hit great heights and but her voice is really effective when she stays in the mid-range as it is just so ear-friendly.

    Of Infinity is made up of guitarist Nazareth Sando who knows perfectly just when to throw on the metal and when to rein it in to allow the other instruments to shine through. Also included is Kurtis Kyllo on bass and Carlos Teller on drums. Alessandra also contributes piano and other keyboards. She writes the material along with Nazareth.

    This is a tremendous EP that bubbles over with poise and talent. I can't wait to see what Of Infinity has in store for us in the future."

    New Of Infinity Reviews!

    DARK LIFE ZINE
    http://www.darklifezine.de

    "This 3-track release The Essence Of Infinity by USA based Of Infinity can be compared with Finnish Nightwish or with the Dutch project Within Temptation, both dating back to 1996. Like the mentioned bands, Of Infinity present female fronted melodic metal. Both the voice of Alessandra -quite similar to the one of Nightwish's Tarja- and also the Metal based background sound allow a comparison to the Finnish melodic metal formation. Even though influences of the band include Lacuna Coil, Tristania or Iron Maiden, who are named by the band members themselves, Of Infinity do not come across as a cheap copy project, far from it indeed. These musicians seem to take out the best parts of their idols and fuse it together in a own style...what they are presenting here is musically high qualitative and clearly produced. The 3 tracks cover from powerful metal beats to emotional sounds..."

    METAL INVADER
    http://www.metal-invader.com

    "Of infinity are a trio that plays some atmospheric metal in the vein of the now unfortunately defunct, Dreams of Sanity. In fact their singer Alessandra sound a lot like Sandra, one of the initially two DOS vocalists. She's trained and all, and a Leelee Sobieski lookalike...Some interested ideas...They do show a lot of promise...The melodic lines of the choruses are pretty good...this was the only demo I reviewed that really had some solid musicianship in tow. I would definitely keep an eye on them."

    !!!New OI Reviews!!!

    THE ONE TRUE DEAD ANGEL
    http://www.monotremata.com/dead/da01/music_reviews.html
    "Okay, now this is kind of interesting -- operatic metal from San Antonio, Texas that fuses elements of death metal, folk music, goth, and opera into something resembling a collision between Opeth, October Project, Fear of God (the metal band, not the hardcore one) and Mercyful Fate. In other words, expect lots of drama, soaring keyboards, abrupt shifts of tempo and texture, and above all, excellent vocals from Alessandra Zinicola, who has an impressive vocal range. This style of hybrid metal has surged forward in popularity since bands like Lacuna Coil and Evanescence started heaving up piles of platinum records, but Of Infinity -- who've been together for over five years -- pretty much predates all of that. The band behind Zinicola...includes former members of Fallen Empire, Pinkeye, and April Death, and they're all excellent...The three songs are all long enough to allow for plenty of changes in tempo, intensity, and texture without getting bogged down, and everything sounds excellent -- the recording and production are excellent throughout. This disc passes the DEAD ANGEL air guitar test as well. Fans of Type O Negative, Lacuna Coil, Dream Theater, and the like should find this of interest."

    METAL-ARCHIVES
    http://www.metal-archives.com/review.php?id=52478#462
    "This is well produced, precisely played and professionally packaged...the guitar sound is quite full and there’s a decent amount of muscular melodic riffing and some well-composed lead breaks...So yeah, it’s glossy, somewhat heavy and very, very slick...As it stands, this band has the potential to go far. They’re certainly a pretty bunch...An entire album of this would sell hundreds-upon-thousands of copies...the demo comes on a pro-pressed CD in a nice glossy purple cardsleeve...this band is going to sell lots of albums...they obviously believe in what they’re doing."

    SICK AMONG THE PURE
    http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/2005/06/reviews/ofinfinity.html
    "Currently unsigned, last year Of Infinity released The Essence of Infinity, a three-song EP that has obvious comparisons to Pop-Goth rockers Evanescence, if for nothing else than the vocal similarity between Alessandra and Amy Lee. However, the comparison between the two bands is purely superficial; Of Infinity incorporates a more complex song structure evidenced on “The Voice Without”, which comes across like Lacuna Coil with extremely good production. “Shadow of a Lie” clocks in at six-and-a-half minutes, but never seems to drag; while the strong guitars on “It’s Only for Forever” will appeal to fans of ‘80s classic Hair Metal. Self-described as “melodic metal,” Of Infinity is almost what I would call “medieval metal” – weaving together Alessandra’s bewitching vocal and abstract lyrics with stark yet straight-forward guitar and strings. While “It’s Only for Forever” is the most accessible song, “Shadow of a Lie” is really the standout track, showcasing the band’s ability in both orchestra arrangements and atmospheric gloom."

    HARM.US/666METAL.COM (Eyeless Sentry)
    http://www.harm.us/bandlist/showband.cfm?bandID=667
    "For fans of female-fronted metal you’re in for a treat – Of Infinity is the band you’ve been waiting for that pushes the boundaries where bands such as Nightwish and After Forever only dared tread. Of Infinity is a melodic, doom-inspired progressive metal band, that carries with it a fantastic, alto-styled lead vocalist and keyboardist in the form of Alessandra Zinicola...The songwriting is definitely enhanced by the decidedly classicalist approach, adding much more emotion and gravity to the songs through the use of orchestral arrangements...Of Infinity have produced a stellar album in terms of composition, musicianship (which is absolutely blinding; the guitar and keyboard melodies are astounding)...drawing upon influences ranging from classical, metal, gothic and contemporary adult...it must be said that Of Infinity are an exceptionally talented band that left me awestruck after the CD had finished...I wanted to hear more!...It’s been said before and I’ll say it again – It’s an absolute disgrace on the part of major labels that this band hasn’t been signed, because as we say in Australia, it’s a bloody ripper."

    METAL JUDGMENT (MetalUpdate.com's Reviews)
    http://www.metaljudgment.com
    (http://www.metalupdate.com)
    "I am struggling to find words elegant enough to describe this beauty filtering through my ears. What I can say is, Of Infinity is a band on the brink of success. For once we have a band that truly understands music...This band has all the right tools, strong metal roots polished with female operatic vocals and songwriting that is downright addictive. Each track on this three song demo stands out leaving the listener stunned and wanting more...I have a challenge for you: listen to this a few times and try to not sing along. I bet you can't do it. The song writing capabilities are far above average, you can be guaranteed even the most professional song writers would be envious. It is difficult to stop listening, even after repeated plays. Comparisons to other bands is futile, for Of Infinity truly stand alone. You will be floored...As the music dies out the listener is left with a melancholic feeling. Sadness should not feel this good...One day, not too far away, talks of Of Infinity will occur all across the nation...It is not often a band so raw in their career write such strong songs. Give this a try now before Of Infinity catches on like wildfire. All I can say is, some bands are simply destined for success."

    HEAVYMETAL UNIVERSE
    http://www.heavymetaluniverse.com/home.php
    "Texas isn't just the state of southern rock masters ZZ TOP or the adoption land of the Danish heavy metal genius King Diamond. No, it's also where a cool female-fronted atmospheric heavy metal band comes from, and this band is called OF INFINITY. The three tracks of this demo-cd aren't demo-like at all ! On the contrary, the cd sounds like a very professional stuff, as if it was a release which announced an album to come. Three songs which are as good as they are different from each other, but which possess a strong identity making this cd really cohesive. The first track is an atmospheric heavy metal song in the pure vein of bands such as LACUNA COIL or WITHIN TEMPTATION, and believe me, OF INFINITY will most certainly become a dangerous outsider for these bands. The second track is pretty calm and contains some really excellent guitar riff supported by the great voice of the female singer, but also beautifully inspired violin. Finaly, the last song is a little piece of genius, with a pretty bluesy feeling and is an absolutely ass kicking hit. So we can just hope that the next step will be the recording of a full-length labeled album."

    MUSIC STREET JOURNAL
    http://www.musicstreetjournal.com/ofinfinitylist.htm
    "Of Infinity is a new name on the melodic/progressive metal scene. Don't let that fool you, though as they have a lot of talent..."The Essence of Infinity"...is a three song EP that showcases a band that is quite adept at both songwriting and performing...Zinicola's voice is powerful and beautiful. At times she calls to mind such female vocal powerhouses as Lana Lane, Annie Haslam and Doro Pesch. With a list like that you can't go wrong. And, as the fact that two of those three are prog singers suggests, much of the material here leans heavily toward the prog end of the spectrum. It definitely is heavy metal, but there are a lot of intriguing song structures, attention to melodic sounds and intricate layerings to give this one a major prog touch. Overall this disc is quite good. I'd really like to hear more from the band."

    MUSIC MAYHEM
    http://www.musicmayhem.com/reviewsunsigned2.htm
    "Female fronted Goth metal in the vein of bands like Evanescence is what Of Infinity is all about. This is a collection of very talented musicians along with beautiful vocals from Alessandra. Also a list of string guest musicians rounds out their sound. While this is not the kind of music I usually listen to, I was blown away by how technically proficient they were, both musically, and vocally. Very well recorded for an unsigned band as well. Very cool package that they've put together too. If your into Goth metal, then check this band out!"

    JACKAL BLASTER
    http://www.angelfire.com/zine/jackalblaster/USentombed_OctaviaofInfinity.html
    "The unsigned Of Infinity are an impressive, melodic gothic metal act, and the three demo tracks here are well worth attention. The band's sound is based on the melodic gothic European standard- Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Sins of the Beloved, and Theatre of Tragedy. The wonderfully clear and stunning soprano vocals of Alessandra, as well as the incorporation of keys and violins within the songs, result in a romantic aesthetic that gives the ep a vivid majesty...Of Infinity are worth watching out for. This ep is highly recommended to fans of Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Rain Fell Within and Octavia Sperati."

    !!!New Of Infinity Reviews!!!

    METAL FANATIX
    http://www.metalfanatix.com/
    "The bands' first official release is more like an EP with only 3 songs featured, but these particular compositions are outstanding! Not only are they outstanding, they have a lot of different genre references as well as some diverse transitions and medleys. What I mean by "diverse" is that there is always a lot going on in their tracks and it is hard to decipher where they will go next. From oceans of orchestrations to fields of guitar harmonies and drum precision, there isn't really anything they can't do....This is like a supergroup of sorts...Of Infinity will most certainly get the recognition they want if they find the right label and distributor!! An awesome beginning."

    HARD BEYOND DRIVEN
    http://www.hardbeyonddriven.com
    "...Of Infinity's lead vocalist Alessandra Zinicola's performance on the CD is really quite breathtaking at times with her extremely powerful operatic vocals which you can hear as far as Heaven. The Essence of Infinity was very well constructed, produced and mixed perfectly. The three tracks on this demo each have their own identity...The third track "It's Only For Forever" is my favorite as members Alessandra, Nazareth, and Kurtis have created themselves the most exceptional song thus far which I'm sure has caused a stir already worldwide since it's debut. By far some of the strongest most powerful lyrics belted out by Alessandra with more emotion than you can imagine making Lacuna Coil or Lullacry seem almost dull. Of Infinity has already caused quite a stir in Europe from what I've seen and if you are looking for something that is fresh sounding, melodic yet dark at the same time? Then look no further, Of Infinity is for real and fits right in with today's Heavy Metal scene."

    BLACK ANGEL PROMOTIONS
    http://bap.antidoterecords.net/ofinfinitycd.php
    "The band is comprised of extremely talented musicians who have accomplished quite a lot...Of Infinity's latest release, "The Essence Of Infinity", is one of the most intriguing cd's to fall on my desk as of late, specifically due to the fact that they are unsigned. I've never heard a band this good that wasn't signed -- it's amazing!!...Of Infinity has made a lasting impression on me. I look forward to seeing them signed to a major label in the very near future. The band is absolutely brilliant! Century Media, The End Records, Road Runner, beware -- it's only a matter of time before you bow down."

    POWER PACKER ZINE
    http://www.powerpackerzine.com
    "There are only three songs that accompany this "demo," but these three are not just any ordinary three. The members of Of Infinity knew exactly where they wanted to go with their music, and it's easily heard. Some will call it melodic Metal, some will call it melodic Goth, and will some just call it exciting. For me, all three applies....I know of very few bands in my recollection who have made such a promising and exciting demo. Someone will sign these guys, and gal, to a deal; it's just a matter of seeing where they go from here. Of Infinity is of talent, so my bet's on the band getting to where they want to go."

    !!!New Reviews!!!

    CHAIN D.L.K.
    http://www.chaindlk.com/reviews/index.php?rl=1&id=1822
    "I have been following this band ever since they were just starting out. This is a very powerful female-fronted melodic metal band...The members of Of Infinity are quite an accomplished individuals. Most have had musical experience in the past and most have music-industry interests and or are getting an education for it. The singing talent of Alessandra Zinicola sure will get this band noticed by the major labels if not a bigger indie record company. Of Infinity will go to the top as soon as they are handled by the right people. I can't wait to hear more!"

    METAL REIGNS
    http://www.metalreigns.com/reviews/204.html
    "What are you listening to? Whatever it is, Stop Now! Of Infinity have a new three song CD entitled, Essence Of Infinity. Something fans of all melodic music should hear. One of the best unsigned bands I have heard, and deserves being signed. It's almost hard to believe a band from Texas has composed this deep emotionally inspiring music...The song structures, and performances are worthy of a recording deal...It would be hard pressed to find a down side to this CD...Lead vocalist Alessandra is nothing short of beautiful. Her incredible voice echoes through your mind long after hearing it. Truly one of the most gifted vocalist's in the genre...Of Infinity is a well rounded and solid force in the goth metal genre. Why they have not been signed is puzzling to me. One thing is clear. Of Infinity have the talent to reach a great deal of success and with time will produce even far greater music...Melodic, sophisticated, mature music is what Of Infinity offers. No gimmicks. Just good listening music that should appeal to a wide array of musical tastes. Enjoy the beauty that is Of Infinity. Hear the Essence Of Infinity."

    D-DAY'S REVENGE
    http://www.ddays-revenge.com/OfInfinityEssencereview.html
    "I was honestly blown away by the sound. Speaking of the word beautiful, that is the word that best describes vocalist Alessandra Zinicola's voice. Add to that the expert playing of guitarist Nazereth Sando and bassist Kurtis Kyllo and the chemistry is amazing...Beautiful vocals, great musicianship, and the album is put together as if it were on a major label already. As much as I hate to say things too similar to other sites, I must mirror the question being asked by the other 'zines in their reviews section: Why aren't they signed yet?"

    THE METAL OBSERVER
    http://www.metal-observer.com/articles.php?lid=1&sid=6&id=7703
    "Alessandra obviously is a female and Melodic Metal it is that they play, what more could you ask for? Well, quality would not be the worst thing, I would say. And the opener “The Voice Without“ quickly shows that this is no problem for OF INFINITY either...Shadow Of A Lie” builds a very strong atmosphere, combining different moods and grades of heaviness in a very dynamic way, while “It’s Only For Forever“ is slower and more emotional, putting Alessandra’s very warm and emotive voice into the centre point, this song can definitely compete with the genre leaders. The clear production does its part to give the songs the right framework and help all labels with a healthy business sense to form the decision to offer a contract to OF INFINITY...the quartet shows enormous potential that just should not be overlooked!"

    METAL WARRANTS
    http://www.metalwarrants.com/Reviews.html
    "Of Infinity, hailing from San Antonio, Texas, are one of the states premier female fronted metal acts. Quite possibly one of the countries premier female fronted metal bands...All three songs on this disk are outstanding. Excellent musicianship. The guitars, bass and drums are top notch. I’m sure these guys may be tired of hearing that, only for the fact that vocalist Alessandra Zinicola’s mesmerizing voice steals the show. Angelic yet majestic. Very powerful...Seems hard to believe that a major label has not swooped them up by now. Just goes to show you how incredibly stupid most scouts really are. Each track is very dark and melodic. But on the same note, there’s a heaviness underneath it all that sucks you in. Paralyzes your senses till you become one with the music. An brilliant showcase of talent lies within Of Infinity."

    ADRENALIN FAN ZINE
    http://www.adrenalinfanzine.com/reviews.html
    "This is a 3-song demo by a 4-piece, female-fronted, melodic metal band from Texas. Normally, when I get a CD with female vocals, they are accompanied by deep/death male vocals. However, on this CD, there aren't any male vocals. Alessandra takes on the vocals tasks solo. As her soothing, peaceful voice toys with your emotions, the music toggles between a very laid-back approach (simple yet tastefully done) and a more powerful (heart-filled solos) carry-you-away style of gothic bliss. Along with the basic guitar, bass, and drums set-up, Alessandra shows off her talent on piano/keyboard and a guest musician, Emily Hesterman, put me in awe with her violin intro and outro to track 2, "Shadow Of A Lie". This is a definite change for me from the death & black metal I have been reviewing lately. You should check out Of Infinity at www.ofinfinity.com"

    ABRASIVE ROCK
    http://www.abrasiverock.com/cdreviews/ofinfinity03-22-05.php
    "To give you an idea of the quality of the music here, the time between the first time I listened to this and the second, was a bit over 3 weeks. And yet, I found myself humming along to some the choruses, having only heard them once. And no, it isn't made for radio crap that is so simplistic you can't help but remember it. These are really good songs. In parts, piano and even violin are featured alongside the guitars and drums. The vocals however, are really the centerpiece for the album...the vocal lines are very interesting, and the arrangements don't need a frenetic metal riff to make them effective...If you like the girl fronted metal bands, then Of Infinity is right up your alley. But they aren't just a female fronted band, more than that, they are simply a good band who happens to have a female frontwoman. So for us guys, that is just gravy. (Don't worry girls, I am told the guitar player is pretty hot too)."

    RAGING METAL
    http://www.raging-metal.d2g.com/reviews/r0692.html
    "Out of the 3 songs the strongest one is... all of them. All 3 songs are done incredibly well. I have tried to think of a fault with the songs but there isn't one. The music is some of the best I have heard in a long time. It is very atmospheric if that is even a word and if it isn't then it should be. OK, I just checked that it is indeed a word. Fans of Nightwish and Lacuna Coil sho--no, they need to check out this band. If you are saying to yourself "Hmm, maybe I should go there." Then you should be slapped for even thinking that. Of Infinity have amazing female vocals that draw you into their songs and a guitarist whose playing will keep you in the song."

    BRAVE WORDS & BLOODY KNUCKLES (BW&BK)
    http://www.ofinfinity.com/Of%20Infinity/bwbk_review.htm
    http://www.bravewords.com
    "Wonderful female-fronted gothic metal that will appeal to fans of both Nighwish and Lacuna Coil, this three song EP is nothing short of remarkable. Twinkling keyboards usher in the majestic first track, "The Voice Without". Alessandra Zinicola's crystalline voice is mesmerizing -delicate yet powerful...The band behind her, featuring ex- Fallen Empire guitarist Nazareth Sando, do everything just right. "Shadow Of A Lie" contains epic violins within a stirring, exhilarating composition. Lastly, "It's Only For Forever" contains luscious, vibrant guitar and beautiful piano in a truly special serenade. Of Infinity are poised on the verge of success."

    AEA ZINE
    http://maxpages.com/aeazine2/ISSUE_11_CD_REVIEWS_II
    "The first minute or so of "The Voice Without" had such an impact on me I had to go back and listen to it a second time. The piano, keyboards and lead vocals of Alessandra Zinicola were so transcendent they'll make you forget about purists' claims that true underground metal should not have any additional trappings. Indeed, you can't even classify this band's music as death metal since it encompasses a wide, wide range of influences. If you thought that first song is good, wait until you get to "Shadow of a Lie" and "It's Only For Forever" which stretch the musical range a lot more. Watch for these guys."

    WORLD HORROR NETWORK
    http://whn.diemonsterdie.net/reviews.html
    "The band is comprised of extremely talented musicians who have accomplished quite a lot...Of Infinity's latest release, "The Essence Of Infinity", is one of the most intriguing cd's to fall on my desk as of late, specifically due to the fact that they are unsigned. I've never heard a band this good that wasn't signed -- it's amazing!!...Of Infinity has made a lasting impression on me. I look forward to seeing them signed to a major label in the very near future. The band is absolutely brilliant! Century Media, The End Records, Road Runner, beware -- it's only a matter of time before you bow down."

    THE METAL GARAGE
    http://www.the-metalgarage.com/reviews_ofinfinity.html
    "The band seems together as one, a strong unit, something that definitely comes off when listening to their music...What also struck me about this demo, was the production. It’s brilliantly produced with an epic feeling to it, each instrument being very clear to listen to, and The Essence Of Infinity really sounds like a major budgeted CD, not just a demo...I wouldn't be surprised to see Of Infinity signed to a record label soon, perhaps even a major one, as they are certainly better than some other gothic/melodic metal bands on major labels I've heard. They certainly have what it takes..."

    THE HAIRLESS HEART HERALD
    http://www.hairlessheartherald.co.uk/of_infinity_essence.htm
    "The Essence of Infinity is a three song demo of distinctive quality...This taster leaves me wanting to hear more. The heavy undertones, i.e. the 'metal', are but part of the music, which in my view encompasses more than one genre, not least prog. I am not surprised that the band have been asked to do the music for two independent films...Let us hope that it won't be too long before a full album is released."

    METAL LIFE MAGAZINE
    http://www.metallife.com/sponsored/of_infinity/essence_of_infinity_-_review.php
    "...the guitar work is very impressive and once again, the vocals are superb...Alessandra's voice floats into your ears and stirs something inside your mind...Overall, this CD needs to be in your collection. A well written, arranged and performed 3 song collection exuding talent and metal power...The existing talent Of Infinity shows and what we can see as growing into even greater skills, is what led Metal Life Magazine to sponsor this band."

    UNSTOPPABLE FORCE
    http://www.unstoppable-force-webzine-main.cjb.net/
    "Take the magic and atmosphere of Angel Dust, the beauty and gentle touch of Evanescence, and the musicianship and melody of Kamelot and you will find yourself listening to Of Infinity...If this three track demo is a glimpse of what Of Infinity are capable of, then Century Media, Nuclear Blast, and Noise Records better pay more attention to them, as they have “SIGN ME” written all over themselves. Truly a nice addition to the female fronted metal bands of today. Perhaps one day we'll see Of Infinity touring with the likes of Nightwish, Sinergy, or Mastermind."

    ...New Of Infinity Reviews...

    DARE DEVIL MAGAZINE
    http://www.daredevil.de/reviews/2004%20reviews%20december04/2004%
    20reviews%20december04.html
    "Of Infinity play super sweet melodic "goth" metal, and it sounds
    pretty damn good...bands like Of Infinity completely slay bands like
    Evanescence. They aren't afraid to mix things up beyond the "verse,
    chours, verse" formula, and introduce a lot of different instruments
    and styles to the music...they have a really neat old-school metal
    guitar feel, the solos are huge and sound almost like something from
    the bay-area thrash movement. This is stuff is high quality. I can't
    wait till these guys come out with something a little longer."

    VIOVOD.NET
    http://voivod.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2350
    "...this Nightwish/Lacuna Coil influenced combo will soon have fans
    of the genre championing a new Goddess. Her name is Alessandra
    Zinicola and she, if I may be blunt, has a powerful set of
    lungs...Opener `The Voice Without' hits you with the force of a
    symphonic hurricane...`Shadow of a Lie' is, if you will excuse my
    forwardness, catchy as fuck...`It's only for Forever' is a
    melancholic sway-fest that will have Goth-girls the world over
    pulling petals from black-tinted roses pondering whether she is loved
    or not...I dare say the band members are counting the days `til they
    have a full orchestra at their disposal, until then, there's a little
    matter of a record deal to acquire first. And judging by `The Essence
    of Infinity', that won't be too long in coming."

    SILENT SCREAM
    http://www.silentscreamzine.com/ReviewShow.asp?ReviewsID=3148 (Click
    English Translation)
    "Excellent taste of gothic metal from the States...(they have) a
    songwriting ability that shows up through majestic resounding
    arrangements, that could put them beside Nightwish or Within
    Temptation...Some excellent premises then, in just three compositions
    that should attract the discographic labels, always looking for young
    talents."
    (Go to this review site to rate "The Essence Of Infinity"!)

    VANITY PROJECT
    http://www.vanityproject.co.uk/
    "Of Infinity hail from San Antonio, Texas and are a band tat could
    make a big break through...This is epic melodic Goth tinged metal
    with big riffs, big tunes and a powerful female voice in the form of
    Alessandra Zinicola...Of Infinity sound like they are ready to hit
    the big stages with their infectious epics."

    TARTAREAN DESIRE
    http://www.tartareandesire.com/reviews/ofinfinity_theessenceofin.html
    "...the level of "guitar-manship" is top-notch...Vocally, Alessandra
    is clearly on top of her game! Her lush, strong soprano vocals
    captivate you and her melodies are outstanding...all in all this is a
    great EP and worth the $5 it'll cost you to pick it up! Get this
    while you can because if the band stays together, which it seems they
    have the dedication to do so, I'd expect them to be signing a record
    contract soon and this little nugget will be "Out Of Print" soon
    thereafter."

    METAL MAIDENS
    http://www.metalmaidens.com/demoreviews.htm
    "Powerful gothic metal with great female vocals. Their influences are
    from bands like THEATRE OF TRAGEDY, NIGHTWISH, EVANE-SCENCE and
    LACUNA COIL. However, the power of this lady singer simply goes
    beyond these names. The crystal clear production and the high-skilled
    musicians take care of the rest. The three songs, worthy of seventeen
    minutes of music, are definitely worth checking out...You can hear
    their love for this music here. I think, we can see OF INFINITY as a
    great promise for the future!"

    CRAVE MAGAZINE
    http://www.portlandmusicians.com/crave/2005/01/cd_ofinfinity.shtml
    " Their music is epic and at times breathtaking; I would describe it
    as female fronted progressive metal. The songs are full of huge
    intricate melodies and are all more then six minutes long, this is
    not your typical independent release demo...I am really looking
    forward to what this band can do with a full-length project. In the
    meantime, I have these three songs to tide me over. Pick this up if
    you love dark, gloomy, metal, or even if you are in the mood for
    something new."

    New Of Infinity Reviews!!!

    1 HEAVY METAL
    http://www.1heavymetal.com/CDReviews/Fall2004/ofinfinity.htm
    "The gorgeous piano compliments Alessandra's vocals for a stunning,
    atmospheric feel that embeds in your mind after several
    listens..."The Essence Of Infinity" is a great release and probably
    one of the best demo discs we received in 2004."

    BRIGHT EYES
    http://www.bright-eyes.de/baseportal/CDs/kritikendetail&Id==5507
    http://www.ofinfinity.com/Of%
    20Infinity/bright_eyes_english_translation.htm
    (English Translation)
    "OF INFINITY is a metal band to be taken seriously, one that has
    earned a chance via its progressive and, at times, symphonic songs
    and its deep lyrics...immediately try to get hold of the OF INFINITY
    demo."

    DARKSOUL 7
    http://www.darksoul7.com/cgi-bin/democd_reviews.cgi?id=14&page=1
    "...one of the most professional sounding demo's I have heard...it's
    quickly become a personal favorite...Alessandra's dual harmonies
    create a haunting sound
    that is sure to make metal fans of female vocals writhe with
    pleasure...The recording is amazing. This does not sound like a demo.
    Every instrument sounds the
    way it should. The guitars wail, the bass thumps, the drums hammer,
    the violin sings,
    and the piano entrances. The vocals are engulfed in beauty and hold a
    heavenly presence...This is a thunder strike for this band and it
    will surely bring them a lot of attention. I would not be surprised
    if this band is signed and touring within the next year. For
    fans of gothic and progressive metal, Of Infinity stakes its claim as
    a band that will
    go far."

    JUST WANNA ROCK
    http://www.justwannarock.com/OFINFINITY.html
    "Of Infinity have really re-ignited my faith in the music
    industry...Alessandra Zinicola has one of the most tender,
    mesmerizing and yet powerful voices I've ever heard, combined with
    the fast paced, operatic and haunting melodies you simply can't
    resist being seduced into a stupor of passion and awe...Of Infinity
    very musically talented...Offering beauty, sincerity and that
    special `something' Of Infinity really need to be heard to be loved,
    the more people who take notice of them, the better their lives will
    be."

    SPACE JUNKIES MAGAZINE
    http://www.spacejunkies.net/ofinfinity_review.html
    "OF INFINITY is a 4 piece extraordanaire...OF INFINITY is of the
    highest craftsmanship and to say they play their guitars is almost an
    insult...there is no reason that by the end of 2005 that OF INFINITY
    should not be a household name...The sound crafted from OF INFINITY
    is intense and precise with an interwoven mix of goth, doom, and
    melodic metal...There are no words noble enough to speak of this
    band...My soul tells me this music makes me complete as a music
    collector and lover. Face it, OF INIFINITY is a band for everyone and
    cannot be denied. It's a pleasure to see that music has reached a new
    level of transformation, almost a completeness."

    ROGRESSIVE EARS
    http://www.progressiveears.com/asp/reviews.asp?albumID=3006&bhcp=1
    "These are 3 prime cuts of Gothic metal that radiates a dark beauty
    that in all honesty took my breath away when I gave it a
    listen!...The level of talent in this band is formidable...I see a
    very bright future for this band."

    MUSIC MORSELS
    http://www.serge.org/MusicMorsels/2005_01/albums.htm
    "This three song sample will whet your appetite for a larger feast of
    this female voiced prog metal trio from San Antonio. Trip hammer
    drumming, incendiary guitars and thunderstorm bass riffs are twisted
    with mellower piano graced melodic passages. The intrigue factor runs
    higher from the intense vocals of Alessandra Zinicola...is obvious
    songwriting talent here as well, progsters should gobble this group
    up."

    And the great Of Infinity reviews keep coming!:

    BEAUTY AND PAIN
    http://www.beautyandpain.com/reviews.htm
    "Sweet mother of god! I can't believe this band is not on a huge Metal label like Napalm, Century Media or Nuke Blast...The Voice of Alessandra is some of the most beautiful and majestic I've heard in a long time this woman can sing and she shows all her range and talent...Of Infinity will have Labels knocking on there door very soon with major record label offers."

    ROUGH EDGE
    http://www.roughedge.com/cdreviews/o/ofinfinity.htm
    "The Essence Of Infinity" combines the best of doom, Goth, metal, and various other metal styles for a satisfying blend that is neither tired nor too ambitious...The Essence Of Infinity" is a rare case of an EP from a new (and unsigned!) band that seems to have the right combination of talent, drive, and that ever elusive 'it' that makes a band a bigger sum than its individual parts...I actually have high hopes for this band to be the American counterpoint to the great European/Scandinavian bands in this style."

    BEHIND THE VEIL
    http://www.geocities.com/behind_the_veil2001/Main.html
    "Sure, I like to listen to NIGHTWISH, EVANESCENCE and THEATER OF TRAGEDY, but I mostly prefer to listen to this new mini CD from Of Infinity..."Shadow Of A Lie" and "It's Only For Forever" are two of the greatest compositions of atmospheric metal I have listened to lately...Buy this mini CD even if you are not in atmospheric metal. I am sure you will love it."

    METAL WHORE
    http://www.metalwhore.com/home.html
    "Of Infinity churn out some excellent "melodic doom metal"...The music comes together as a dark, beautiful, gothic mix of sounds: heavy guitars, brooding bass lines, synth violin and the fucking incredible voice of Alessandra. This girl has a truly amazing vocal range. I'd put it up against in of the major players any day of the week... I'll be keeping an eye on this band. I expect great things to come. Fans of melodic metal should reach into their wallets now for the $5 they ask for the EP."

    METAL GOSPEL
    http://www.metalgospel.org/Reviews/oitheessence.html
    "This Melodic Metal band from the US has "newest label signing" written all over them...they are highly skilled composers of addictive, captivating songs holding massive amounts of emotion...If they call this a demo I can only imagine how brilliant a debut full length would be !"

    I WILL BE HEARD
    http://www.iwillbeheard.co.uk/
    "Of Infinity create a very European sound, somewhat unexpectedly from America and has echo’s of such great bands as Lacuna Coil, Nightwish and The Gathering...Alessandra’s hauntingly angelic, unsullied vocals provide character with which to distinguish this band from others, as does the building composures, thick guitar chords, violins and keyboards which often give a panoramic feel...Recommended."

    METAL MAYHEM
    http://www.geocities.com/chrisr1uk/o.html
    "Each of these three songs shows an advanced degree of songwriting ability. The band’s arrangements are emotive and interesting, with plenty of melody and dramatic change ups...Zinicola possesses a voice which rivals the top talents in the genre. Copies of this record are affordable, so surf over to the their site and discover for the group’s superlative melodies for yourself!"

    Update 12/04/2004

    -Of Infinity will be on "The Autopsy Report" this 6th of December across 10 radio stations. The show will be on all week at different times and full schedules can be found on the web site at http://theautopsyreport.heavymetalradio.net.

    -Alessandra of Of Infinity had the pleasure of doing an interview with Toni from "That's So Metal.Com". Enjoy a read at: http://www.thatssometal.com/


    New Of Infinity Reviews:

    THE AUTOPSY REPORT
    "I am in rapture. Why? Because I have listened to Of Infinity's latest promo CD "The Essence Of Infinity". I am in admiration of the flowing melodies, I am in bliss over the scintillating song structures, I am in love with Alessandra Zinicola's voice."
    http://theautopsyreport.heavymetalradio.net/index2.htm

    ARCHAIC METALLURGY
    "Every musician would kill for this kind of magic...This is a fantastic piece of music...there is no filler material here. If record labels don't sign Of Infinity, they are stupid to miss this charismatic band. Fans of female vocals in metal music should not miss this one, either. 'The Essence of Infinity' actually sounds timeless in terms of metal music."
    http://www.archaicmetallurgy.com/review.php?rid=189&PHPSESSID=a7457b470ba057ae6dad24ef0c1972ff

    NEW HORIZONS
    "...the sound is truly superb and quite frankly I have heard full length recordings by artists on commercial labels that cannot touch it for quality...this EP is a real pleaser...this is an excellent package that offers great value for money and for a mere $5 it is a cd well worth getting hold of. In terms of both quality and content this is without doubt an excellent debut release - here is hoping that a full length CD is soon to follow!!!"
