Porta Obscura

Porta Obscura is the second studio album by German gothic metal band Coronatus.

Those bonus tracks are "Flos Obscura", a new recorded Latin version of the track "Dunkle Blume" from their last album, Lux Noctis, and "Volles Leben", the band's first song in its initial form with male vocals.

A review by the Dutch Lords of Metal website complained about a lack of "remarkable compositions".

[5] Metal Perspective's reviewer called the album "below average, providing only weak, typical and uninspiring moments"[6] while the German Sonic Seducer magazine marked a considerable improvement of the vocal arrangements compared to Coronatus' first album and praised the multiple musical hues on Porta Obscura.

[8] The Austrian webzine Stormbringer was positive about the compositions but asked for a more distinctive original input from the band.
