  Another case of a Gothic band turning into a pop band. Out  of the industrial garbage of Belgium, Xymox produced two hauntingly beautiful albums: MEDUSA and CLAN OF XYMOX. MEDUSA is my favorite of  the two, very atmospheric with lyrics about the agonies of love. Check out "Back Door"...a sudden rush of adrenaline and despair at the end of a very mellow record. CLAN... is also good, again very mellow and atmospheric. The track that stands out is "No Human Can Drown"....
  visions of Hamlet watching Ophelia throw herself into the river come to mind. "Twist of Shadows" has some good tunes, but it is obvious that Xymox were heading towards becoming the poppy dance band that emerges on the last two records.
    Recently, Ronny Moorings has jettisoned most of the dance aspects and returned to a sound
closer to the first two albums, going so far as to re-name the band Clan of Xymox again.
