Style

Mozaiq is more euro-trance influenced than all their previous materials, stating that it "is really about breaking down the boundaries of what we refer to as Heavy Music".[http://www.dockyard1.com/bloodstainchild/default.asp Dockyard 1] It contains more clean vocals, especially on "Neo-Gothic-Romance". The track "Metropolice" is built upon female vocal samples. Instrumentation is lower-paced than on their previous works, especially their debut album, and synths sometimes cross into industrial/Eurodance territory.[http://www.musikreviews.de/reviews/2007/Blood-Stain-Child/Mozaiq Musikreviews.de - Webzine für Metal, Prog und Rock - Reviews, News, Interviews, Live, Kritiken] With the arrival of vocalist Sadew, original lead vocalist Ryo performs only backing vocals on the album in addition to maintaining his role as bassist.
