The Hungarian combo here struggles to transcend the metal barriers and deny the conventional metal rules. Whether the experiment is successful or not, I am not sure. There are parts that are reminiscent of other bands and others that are really original and reveal an unconventional beauty.It is worth mentioning that the track ''The Angel and the Dark River'' has a vocalist who sings like the eunuchs in the classical era (they were also called castratos) and sounds utterly ridiculous. Moreover, the track ''Fake'' has one of the most awful and cheesy house/techno passages ever. Even so, ''Weird Constellations'' is an album that worths the shot and some of you may really like. But it definitely baffled me...I simply don't know if I liked it or not.
