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.

This metal band from Hannover-based keyboardist Ferdy Dornbergom and bass guitarist Ralph Shvertnerom, began operations in 1989. In just a couple of years the group has made a good live reputation and its managers are interested in "Accept", who took her under his wing.

A little later aktseptovtsy helped organize major contract staff and musicians under the direction of Stephen Kaufman went to the infamous "Dierks-Studios" cooking polnometrazhki debut. The album "Roots of Hate" received a very flattering feedback from critics and was well received by the public.

With the advent of the new singer's voice becomes hoarse, more than ever, the emphasis is on the guitar sound, the keys is much less, there are elements of contemporary thrash metal, the sound becomes more monolithic party tools are not so much separated from each other, the structure of the songs is more focused on clear and catchy guitar riffs, but most of the tracks are still compositionally complex. It is worth noting that the characteristic of Rough Silk creative ways still prevail over much innovation. Elevated, anthemic melodies and inexpressible in words like before originality distinguish the band's sound.

The Birmingham five some Dakesis is ready to release their full-length debut called ‘Trial By Fire’, after their 2009 demo. Musically the band can be seen as a heavy/prog/sympho band. A genre which is famous for its clichés. And also on ‘Trial By Fire’ there is the familiar mix between synthesizers and guitars. And this mix goes all too well. Also in the vocal area there is a mix. This mix is, alas, of a lesser quality. Gemma Lawler, who handles the keys and the vocals does an excellent job. Wayne Dorman, who handles the guitar and the vocals seems to not have control over his voice all the time. But what disturbs me the most is that the band claims not to take themselves too seriously. This is a fine attitude to have, but it makes the music of a lesser quality. Power metal is not meant to be too serious, but the music itself if of course the most important element. If you like bands such as Dream Theater, Blind Guardian or Symphony X, because of aforementioned influences, you will probably like Dakesis as well. But when Dakesis is going over the top with their keys and guitars, they tend to run wild sometimes. This makes Dakesis only accessible for die-hard fans of the genre.
