Note:

Word melodic is there really quite pertinent. Songs spring / are entwined by mini solos, yummy guitarss. Ana sings normally also high, but the normal vocalss are not so good, sooner average, sometimes they fit. On first album she has even deep voice, what I don’t like.

Note:
Leaves’ Eyes is very good quality bands. Liv has unique voice, which she uses in two shapes – normal (velvety little air) and high – slow pacing (hurt swan). Before she had sung in Theatre Of Tragedy. In Leaves’ Eyes her husband
sings / shrieks. In this band Liv can use fully her pretty voice.
