"To openly pass the trump card to the Dutchmen, isn't quiet correct.
The resident FALLEN ANGEL'S SYMPHONY also attract some people. With the
first gig after two years of stage abstinence and a halfway retreaded
lineup they freshly got down to work and apparently there were a lot of
people, who still remebered the band, although they got just a few
homemade CDs. The can't have that much relatives. The audience moved
from the first, cheered the musicians and sang along in spots. German
and english lyrics, alternating recited by man, woman or both, barely
learned melodies and generally good goth rock releaved this so much the
more, faces and walls started to sweat real soon. [...]"

"Before the Headliner [Delain] came on the stage, the local heroes of
F.A.S. - shortly for Fallen Angel's Symphony - entered the stage and
showed, that the premature praise, they got especially within the city
before the first gig after two years of stage abstinence, were not
unjustified. Impulsive gothic metal with changing vocals, whereat the
female vocals were to the fore, presented consequently a good opening
for the following. The aboard audience celebrated an also the band had
a lot of fun, although the clima equalled a sauna (in their words).
[...] F.A.S. acted experienced and professional on the total duration
of their set and clearly demonstrated, that the latest honouring as
"best gothic/wave band" at the "German Rock and Pop Award 2007" was
earned. They weren't allowed to leave the stage without encore."

"Shortly after 8 pm the men and female singer of "Fallen Angel's
Symphony" from Leipzig westled through across the audience to the
stage. It's their first home game since two years withal three new band
members - that was worth a round of beer. But F.A.S. actually weren't
in need for this to allure people infront of the stage - the fans
standed crowded together and rocked right from the first beats.
Melancholic and dusky furious songs like "Träne der Verborgenheit",
"Maschine Leben" or "Fade away" went down well with the audience and
when the Leipziger left the stage after an hour for the main act, the
felt room temperature is within 38 degree Celsius. Oxygen is tight."

"On fourteen Tracks, we get a special type of foth music delivered from Fallen Angel's Symphony.A very headstrong voice phrases through the CD "Spiegelwelten" received in own-production. Put underneath through drums, Synthis and bass, an independent mood emerges, that quite has its charm."Spiegelwelten" pleases me personally very much, even if I need more than one run to befriend with it. Those in German held texts are not only very meaningful, they leave also very much room according to my opinion for own-interpretations what I feel as very pleasantly. Merely, I had my little problem with the very minimalist guitar-work and the headstrong voice of the singer at beginning so. This lay down however already during the second run. It is a beautiful, sentimental and very successful album. I would call Mantus or Lacrimosa as comparisons however, what doesn't apply in 100 percent. However, tomb can recommend "Spiegelwelten" to everyone. Metaller really should be openminded or equally dear the fingers out."

"Fallen Angel's Symphony limited their Debut as Special Edition on 222 copies.
A mistake, because more listeners will want to quite listen to the music of this still young band that however, the Leipzig residents present a good, partially stirring mixture on their first album "Spiegelwelten" from hears - and dance-pure pieces.
Someone could try to classify it as "Electro Goth skirt", a total nevertheless is, however, from all something is in the songs, that they combine in very independently, forms. Although the album sounds somewhat shallowly when first hearing, is created with constant pleasure of a going along which lets all 14 Tracks turn into an interesting trip.
The songs "mirror-worlds I-III" form very beautifully musically, thoughts put underneath, further playingtips are "5 Worte", "Verlassen" and "Der innere Kampf". Whoever comes too late, should console itself with the "normal" CD. It is worthwhile." (7,5)

"The debut of the Leipzig Fallen Angel's Symphony, that are since 2000 on the search of their musical way, is called "Spiegelwelten". The spectrum is out far fanned, is enough from the ethereal pop over Goth-Rock until to Death-Metal-Sounds.
They are textual uncompromising: Central topic of the album is the death and the longing for it. To think death or even to aesthetic it, is most unbearable and incomprehensible in the fun-company, the phenomenon is (not)managed death by repression in general.
We turn one / under the eyes of the moon celebrates the ritual we / our blood decorates our bodies /, and we hover into the immortality" together it is called in "Erlösung"
Whoever is afraid, such lines got close to oneself, should leave the fingers of this music in order to seem not uncool. Who is not afraid: It sounds very beautiful!"

"After three years, it finally happend, the first CD of Fallen Angel's Symphony in my hands. This really I have waited for one of the CD's of them . But whether it could meet my expectations? I need to describe more than "5 Worte" about the album. It begins "5 wWorte" with that song it in it about the myth of the Candyman goes. Who doesn't know him? One places oneself before a mirror and tells Candyman 5 times, the good old Candy-man.
In the next song "Gut und Böse", it is about the fight between good and evil and the question: Who now is who? This question can answer no one, because in the war, there are not any property and no evil. In "Gut und Böse", one hears the sweet women-chant also for the first time from * Starchild * who has also the Leadpart in "Maschine Leben".
But before I get another couple of other songs, here once a few information. Downfalls Angel's Symphony are a German-language Goth-Rock band, however, they are an exception-band in so distant, as that they don't sing this bad the life like many other German Goth-Rock-Bands only from it is. However only the truth speaks the type like it with part-wisely very hard words as they occur in "Paarungszeit", this band does so unique from Leipzig.
There is the CD in 2 variations, one on 222 pieces of limited version with 3 premiums Track's under anderm "Feuertanz", a Sticker and a Patch. The normal version offers only 11 Tracks. This made a favorable impression their the sound of the songs still had improved about some, so some songs now bewitch with violin-support.
Not all songs are in German as one would expect it from a German-language band. "Träne der Verborgenheit" partially is in English, for example, which doesn't do the piece any demolition, however. Remains more not to actually tell me as: It is worthwhile purely genuinely into this CD listens and buy it. Power further so. Now already one of the probably best CDs of the year 2005, and the year started just now."

"Fallen Angel's Symphony from Leipzig played as fifth band, which I liked most at this evening.
This is real good hard and pushing, rhythmic music with two singers and one female voice. It's
not metal (but with some elements), it's more pushing gothic rock and the violin fits in very well. There are calm parts too, but i couldn't find an good analogy, which fits in. I'm really enthusiastic and I advise everybody to have a look at them, it's worth it!"

"The last band of the evening and the significantly most complex have been "Fallen Angel´s
Symphony". A band with two guitars, Bass, Keyboard, three voices (one of them female) and a violin sounds either supercharged or really cool. Lucky us, the last one was the case with Fallen Angel´s, so that we looking anticipationly forward for 45 minutes of high-class gothic-rock.
It could be destiny, that it began to rain just in the moment, when Fallen Angel´s Symphony entered the stage. Some people seem to dislike that, so they went home but most of them keept there, because they don´t want to miss F.A.S.'s "lullabies". With the songs about the "Paarungszeit im Tanzpalast" or the everywhere popular and ultra-sympathic "Candyman" the crowd could dodder home and dream nightmares or sweat (otherwise drink) the creepily thoughts in their cellar out of their head. With their admitted Depeche Mode-cover "Enjoy the Silence" they gave the in rain keeping crowd the rest. It seemed to me that the crowed waited just for this song to ennoble it with their clapping. Very congenial and a good finish for a nice and successful event,but more of that later..."

"The beginning was made by Fallen Angel´s Symphony, with their fresh, intellegent goth-rock. Dark and pressurable, catchy and -like it has to be- lyrical lightly intellectual, the Leipzig one's presented a musical concept wich is not finished but developable in every way."
