Anima Noir is the eighth studio album by the Italian gothic metal band Theatres des Vampires.

Critical reception

Powermetal.de gave a positive review and recommended the tracks "Unspoken Words" and "Two Seconds".[5] Desibeli.net said the band has evolved into a stronger group and noted "Kain" as one of the band's catchiest songs.[1] Metalitalia.com called it a polished and enjoyable album.[3] Noise.fi said the band sounds professional but said the compositions are not good.[4] Metal.de liked the album and said the band stands out with its extensive keyboards and extravagant synths.[2] Vampster gave a negative review and called the band's brand of gothic metal interchangeable and unchallenging.[6]
