Sweet Ermengarde – Sacrifice (Album-Digital/CD – Solar Lodge)
Sweet Ermengarde, a German Gothic/Dark-Wave group, has been active for quite some time. Following the release of several albums on Equinoxe Records, they return after an eight-year hiatus with “Sacrifice” on Solar Lodge. The production is polished, paying homage to 80s Dark-Wave masters while infusing a personal touch with a more melodic and Dark-Rock approach. Personally, I favor the harder tracks. (Rate:7½).

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
