Ancient Shadows review in GUITARLAB magazine (A+)

   Reviewed by Queenie (singer-songwriter) for GuitarLab MAGAZINE, an indepenent music magazine in Korea  (it will be published in the March issue)
Ancient Shadows is Priscilla Hernandez's first full album release. Her first album of songs (some dating back as early as her teenage years) is an instant classic and a masterwork of a relatively new genre on the scene called Gothic Ethereal. Ancient Shadows evokes a cinematic atmosphere from beginning to end, with half of the album devoted to "The Ghost" and half devoted to "The Fairy". This mixture of light and dark becomes apparent with the sheer, transcendent beauty of Priscilla's natural voice against a backdrop of dark, lush orchestral textures. In the sonically gorgeous song, Away, Priscilla makes use of a wood flute that lends a Celtic flair to her lilting melody. In the song Haunted, strange, elusive harmonies indicate her creative genius for creating new trends in goth rock. The wonderful "I Steal the Leaves" is nature's answer to pop music, a gentle song that is reminiscent of folk star Loreena McKennit. Overall, Ancient Shadows is a monumental production, the amazing feat of an extremely gifted independent musician of pure star quality. Grade: A+
