"Any band brave enough to tag it's first CD with the line "remember when listening to music felt dangerous" had better have the goods or prepare to be cracked by critics. Well, Acts Magdalena does - and then some�" Larry Flick
STARVOX
"Bands like Acts Magdalena, who hail from New York City, remind me of the savage power of the human voice... Every review of Acts Magdalena speaks with awe, and not a little fear, of singer Christian Merry's u nique vocal style..."

LEGENDS
"The four of them create a hybrid sound of death metal and more-palatable goth rock, riding on the very fringe of heavy without crossing in to the boo-blargy thing that thrash-metal enthusiasts claim is music..." http://www.legen dsmagazine.net/97/magdelena.htm
ROCKBAND.com

SPYDERBYTES
"The densely swirling organ drones (actually peformed on bass) and guitar thrums.. provide a fo g through which Christian Merry's... sweet tones roughen as the tr ack builds... the angel has a dark side... until she's snarling as if channeling Beelzebub directly through her vocal chords..." http://www.spider bytes.com/ambientrance/0400ov.htm
HIDDEN SANCTUARY
This female fronted band is among the NY underground elite. This current track (Wasteland) is a bit more se date than their usual work and is placed here as another showcase for theirmany talents. Lead vocalist Christian has been known to swoop and growl in an almost frightening fashion on the more rock tunes. This track lends the ability to demonstrate her more poetic and sensual side. http://stations.mp3s.com/stations/40/hidden_san ctuary_2.html}
Beautiful Christian:
May your righteous shamanic fury destroy the nonsoul of evil lovelessness & abuse where it lurks psychically in the shadows of the human nightmare. I formally adore you, Avenging Angel of the Heart's Dominion!Peace~*~ http://www.mp3.com/peacewilson
