Metal Reviews

These guys really surprised me with their debut... It's symphonic power metal from Italy, very fast and fun and with some of the best female vocals I've ever heard in a metal band. Give 'em a listen and tell me what you think...

Yeah this is pretty cool. She reminds me of the dude from Azrael.

They are very talented (especially their guitar work), but their songs sound a bit repetitive IMHO. I also think their lead singer's voice does not suit their music. Dont get me wrong, she has a very good vocal range but she just seems out of place in almost all their songs. Nevertheless, they definitely have plenty of potential and im expecting more from them in the future.

Yep, no doubt they have the talent but I think they still lack a trademark sound or songwriting to distinguish themselves from the 9685946 other power metal bands that sound quite like this(particularly the female vocalist who hasnt struck at all). Still they are going the right way and the potential is there.
Sorry for the amazingly bad english

Yeah, have heard them before and my ears likes this kinda music.
"The alliance of the kings" album is cool.

LOL I like how everyone got a solo out of that including the bassist

I reviewed this album for MCDR and The Metal Forge. Was quite impressed with their sound and the album overall is very good. Pretty sure I gave it a 4/5. They have certainly improved the fantasy metal genre of power metal with that release, if anything.

The singer does get bogged down in the music on a few tracks however (it is a production issue), you can't hear her full potential til mid-way through the release. She is an excellent vocalist btw.
