Did all the planning and carefulness pay off?<\/p>\n<p>If there is one thing I\u00b4ll remember about MY BLACK LIGHT it\u00b4s the keyboards. Their instrumentals are mostly short and snappy, and their riffs are carried out by Rololfo, or augmented by his keyboard work.  Thr major songs are \u201cGuiding Light\u201d and \u201cTi Sento\u201d. The former is somewhat straighter, contains only female vocals and the gothic parts are nicely underlined by a piano. The latter might be in the right language, the pace is somewhat quicker and it\u00b4s quite forceful. The downside of MY BLACK LIGHT is mainly the vocals, especially the growl. But Monica doesn\u00b4t sound entirely stable all the time either. They sure are enthralling and contagious at times but the boring guitar sound and the various vocal shortcomings bring them down way to often. I believe the cover of TONI BRAXTON\u00b4s \u201cUnbreak My Heart\u201d pretty much sums it up. That song is quite powerful and demands a fine voice, the right rhythm and some forceful guitar work. It goes about half the distance here, as does the efforts of MY BLACK LIGHT.<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nEnergy Core<br \/>\nBeing Human<br \/>\nDetriny<br \/>\nThe Abstainer<br \/>\nNoise for Sale<br \/>\nInner World<br \/>\nDeadline<br \/>\nA Lie for Eternity<br \/>\nIdeal<br \/>\nGuiding Light<br \/>\nTi Sento<br \/>\nUnbreak My Heart<\/p>\n<p>www.massacre-records.com www.myspace.com\/myblacklight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massacre\/Sound Pollution MY BLACK LIGHT was formed in 2008 by keyboardist\/vocalist Rodolfo Coda Bertetto and vocalist Monica Primo.
