"The music is very low-key, laid back while the contents and structure are mellow and gloomy with a soothing appeal, as the fast paced guitar work weaves you in and out of ecstasy" (Klaus Dello-Stryto, The Glass Eye, July 1997). "Incisive guitar work ... Promising" (Bizarre Fanzine, Issue 10/Northampton, UK, 2000). "Es ist düstere, aber sehr schöne und wavige Gothic-Musik ..." (Back Again Webzine/Germany, 2002). Infinisynth successfully combines beautiful delayed guitar, pounding rhythms and haunting vocals on the Collector's Edition of this Indie Goth Rock debut CD, Shadow and Shade. Infinisynth is a Goth rock based project that is the brainchild of artist KarrArikh Tor. Included on the CD are Speed, a sharp look at a young addict's life; Into the Darkness, a sociopathic-pyromaniac's anthem; and Empty, the eerily haunting lament of a lost soul. These songs are off-set by the upbeat versions of Out of Time and Rain. Also included are Desolation, Documentary, Dreams, and two bonus remixes, originally released on Subnormal Episodes. Shadow and Shade is an auditory treat beginning to end.
