In the review posted about the album Side-Line’s Deranged Psyche aka Inferno Sound Diaries had this to say: “Ataraxia is a band I don’t only respect for their longevity, but also – and mainly – for their delicacy in composing beautiful songs. They’re mixing different styles, moving from Ethereal into Cinematic and from Neo-Classic into Dark-Wave, but every single song sounds like it is touched by the hand of a supernatural force. The use of authentic instruments always empowers the global sensation while the Ethereal vocals create a delicious symbiosis. “Ode Ad Afrodite” is a new masterpiece and definitely my favorite one from the opus.”
