‘And Love Said No’ covers the band’s entire recorded career from debut EP ‘666Ways To Love – Prologue’ through to 2003’s exquisite ‘Love Metal’. It incorporates line-up changes, grandiose gestures and some of the finest melodic metal ever released. The magnificent ‘Buried Alive By Love’ and ‘Right Here In My Arms’ set the tone for this package. If your only exposure to the band is their aforementioned alt-Xmas single then these serve as the perfect continued education to this phenomenal band. From there on in it’s a non-stop love trip ‘Your Sweet 666’ is a call to arms to the disenfranchised, ‘The Sacrament’ swirls in gorgeous melodies and pretty instrumentation and the cover of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’ is pure genius.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of listening to this awesome band then ‘And Love Said No’ is your perfect introduction. You’re gonna be joined by a lot more people ‘cause this band are about to become huge.
