Epicmetal.net
is the beginning of a journey to me, through this journey in the roads of metal
I have discovered bands and styles of music which were unknown to me.. some of
the styles which really I found interesting and very true metal are the folk
and gothic and Viking metal. below you will find the review of the new album of
metal gothic symphonic metallers Coronatus
called Porta Obscura
Coronatus
are a German band which plays Gothic Metal.. their album porta obscurra was
recorded in helcinki – finland
and the album is due to be released on the 28th of Nov.. this is the
second full release album of the band
With an
intro which I really liked , with the sounds
of a storm, marching drums, classical music background and soprano vocals.. I
had no doubt that at least I will find this album very interesting This
band achieves to differentiate from the
rest by having two lead female vocalists one for soprano vocals (Carmen r
Schafer) , and the other one (da Fletcher) for the rest. very creative and progressive at the same
time.
Now even
though the band states that is style is gothic/symphonic I will day is more
symphonic and power metal and less gothic. The riffing is excellent The vocals
are in three languages, English, Latin
and some in the bands native language (German).
Really liked the rhythm guitars and keyboards (lead guitar is almost
absent) . Really this band riffs with the piano and keyboard match perfectly
with the blend of the two vocal styles – especially the symphonic!!! Wish they
had more lead guitar and guitar solos!!
A true
symphonic metal album.. the moments where the Soprano vocals are supplemented
and backed by the clean vocals are excellent. the same counts for the opposite
where the clean vocals are backed by the soprano vocals.
13 tracks
(includes 2 bones tracks) , 55 minutes of pure Symphonic Metal a combination of heavy metal with soprano
vocals. Is a point not only which I found very good but progressive for a band.
Well done.
Listen to
the 3rd song Fallen ,
hymn, symphonic and more importantly heavy metal!!!
Liked the
solo in the beauty In black. The cast my spell intro is
unforgettable and gives you an idea of what this band is made for, s melodic song with a great intro. In your
hands is a ballad in which you understand the quality of the vocalists. Track
10) der vierte reiter, has a touch of folk metal and is interesting.
Overall I liked this band, for me, they are not gothic but pure symphonic metal band,
very creative and progressive with two vocalists, one for soprano vocals and
the other one for clean vocals. Although, I would prefer more English vocals
and more lead guitar solos. However who
cares, great riffing and keyboards, excellent vocals (both vocalists) , great
compositions, melodic, symphonic and more importantly epical!!!
Do your selves a favour and check this band, they deserve
it. (9/10)
