Second installment of this Finnish group whose members have already spent a result, including the singer Markku Kuikka which has a long career behind him and that could be heard alongside Lars Eric Mattsson and keyboardist of Thunderstone, Jukka Karinen,here who can speak much more broadly and with finesse.
The first effort, titled "Dialog", two years ago, revealed a group consisting of competent musicians but had trouble getting out relatively traditional influences of progressive metal, led by Symphony X and Dream Theater. "Dialog" enjoyed a good recording, arrangements, balanced between guitar and keyboards, with good melodies but also a lot of rhythm changes and parts of double pedal just agreed on these pieces of average length but a long series epic.
"Ouroboros" is a concept album based on the story of a romantic relationship ... Its beginning, its development, degradation and end. References sometimes a little too visible "Dialog" are less clear here. The band announced the album as a bit more direct, but listening to songs, or rather the songs are more focused on vocal melodies and rhythms that are simpler, the battery a little less emphasized and more nuanced. The album is also less cumbersome overall. The vocal melodies, always at the center of the compositions are often quite strong, even on two beautiful ballads. Classical piano is quite far (with a very beautiful sound, for that matter) and synth orchestrations are well developed, which does not prevent Sami Saarinen to issue sharp guitar parts well, beautiful harmonies and a few very fluid solos alongside keyboardist whose playing solo is also very swift.
Yet the first three songs are always pretty fast and powerful arrangements of keyboards in spite of very audible. Rolf Pilve we Assen still some parts of double bass, syncopated rhythms and a little chopped classic but overall, the rhythm section has changed significantly and in the right direction compared to "Dialog". The result is much more interesting especially with the ballad "Like a Dream" followed by a title in the solo piano ("Confidence and Trust")! Markku Kuikka always uses her voice rough, serious, powerful and very well placed. Strange to want to keep the stamp frayed and sometimes roaring style as well mean a few lines of clean vocals here and there, as on "Like a dream", proof that he has other strings to his bow. But this time he is accompanied by Anna Murphy (singer of Eluveitie), four songs performed as a duo. Clear voice and yet powerful of the latter is very welcome, offering a bit more diversity to the album.
The highlight of this album is probably the ballad "Flowers Die" and along "Sail Away" which form a whole with covers of themes from the first in the second ... The melancholic atmosphere, or dark and dramatic does not prevent melodies to be very accessible.Nice idea to offer some tricky piano and slow ramp-ups ... Status Minor should quickly get rid of the label Mismatched group of "power metal". It is however unfortunate that the vocals are particularly rough on the tightest passages of this dark story (on "Stain" for example), in detail that will put off some ...

Musica Ficta, guided by guitarist and composer Udi Horev and established in Jerusalem in 2003, is a clear example of what could mean a true reference to the past, in particular the English rock scene from the 70s, and at the same time a really fresh creativity. Here you can find echoes of Jethro Tull, but not only – a bit of ELP and King Crimson, among others. These six musicians come from classical, rock, folk, jazz: the result is a coherent sound with a really high technical level, from powerful rock songs to delicate acoustic textures.

Gatling is a progressive metal band hailing from Ontario, Canada. They formed in late 2007 as a two-man instrumental band, but currently the group is made up of Alex Crosty, Alex Sallas, Matt Luu, and Elliot Slater. The band is known for their combination of heavy and light parts, often switching between the two within the same song.

The story of “Lost in the New Real” follows Mr. L, a twenty-first century man who was cryopreserved at the moment of clinical death from a terminal disease. The album begins as Mr. L is being revived at a point in the distant future, when technology has advanced enough to cure his disease. Mr L finds himself in a world that has drastically changed — to the point that the line between what’s real and what’s not is no longer clear.
Mr. L’s appointed psychological advisor (played by Rutger Hauer) is tasked with helping him emotionally adapt to this strange new world. The songs on CD1 follow the main character Mr. L’s emotional journey as he is confronted with both serious and comical aspects of the “New Real”, and desperately tries to decide if he can find a meaningful place within it.
CD2 is a mix of songs that are part of the concept but didn’t fit on CD1, and cover songs that are (more or less) related to the concept. As Arjen’s fans have come to expect, informative and humorous ‘behind the scenes’ videos are added to both CDs as CD-rom tracks. This beautiful 2-CD Limited Edition Mediabook is illustrated by the striking artwork of Claudio Bergamin.

Dark Empire – From Refuge To Ruin (2012)

I feel genuinely bad for anyone who has to classify Dark Empire under this or that genre. You’d have to cut them into pieces and add one each to the progressive, power, death, and thrash folders. Those are just the influences I myself am picking up on, others may find even more. Whatever it is, it’s great music and as a result of its eclecticism it should appeal to a very wide audience.
Ever since their sophomore effort, Humanity Dethroned, Dark Empire’s lineup has been a bloody mess. The most significant change for many will be the exit of Jens Carlsson (whose future with Savage Circus is also questionable) and the entrance of the unknown Brian Larkin, after Urban Breed briefly flirted with the idea to join the band. Larkin handles himself very well and I can’t honestly say I miss Carlsson despite the man’s obvious talents. The newcomer reminds me of Sons Of Seasons’ Henning Basse, who also possesses the ability to go from deceptively soft to openly aggressive in a matter of syllables. Although I’m quite sure Breed would have fit into this role quite nicely as well.

French band Children in Paradise creates a fusion of prog rock/Celtic folk music that I wasn’t even aware I was missing. Their debut albumEsyllt (Isolde) is a richly layered composition. The lyrics are poignant & tell a human story while the music is filled with beautiful progressions. No cookie-cutter music here.
Kathy Millot aka “Dam Kat” has a voice like dark honey. Think Tori Amos, Enya, and Ani DiFranco with a side of Amy Lee & Pink. On Little Butterfly her voice creates such an aching atmosphere you can almost feel your heart break. The guitar progressions are electric blues–dirty, pining notes that strip my soul.
Gwalc’hmei‘s guitar flies through the melancholy of King Arthur’s Death. Vocals that speak of longing & promise balance the atmospheric prog.
I get comfortable with the music & mood when the delightful surprise of Loic Bléjean‘s uilleann pipes lilt into My Son. Countering this traditional Irish instrument is Gwalc’hmei’s blistering guitar riffs. This is honest-to-God rock n roll. Eddie Van Halen on his best day would find this challenging.
The Battle is a good piece but it rockets to the stratosphere of epic at 4:18- Guitar & uilleann pipes intertwine into an animal like no other. My jaw is on the floor…this ain’t your grand-pappy’s Celtic folk music.
Overall this is a remarkable debut album. The entire album is filled with soul–living, breathing music that will reach your innermost being. There are moments of pure prog bliss in these songs. I do find that the songs become just a mite formulaic by the end of the album. I know that about halfway through any particular song I’m going to find the heavy electric guitar solos. While this isn’t a bad thing I think that mixing up the song structure would have elevated this album to instant classic status. I recommend you grab this record; put it on & fall into the ancient Celtic world with a prog rock twist.
