<\/a><\/p>\nThis is a melodic death metal 4-piece from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Murillo Henrique Xavier (vocals\/guitars) started the band on his own and released an EP called \u2018The Preface\u2019. Now, 2 years later, the first full-length with this time a complete line-up is a fact.<\/p>\n
After an impressive atmospheric instrumental with bird sounds, rippling water, violins, female singing and tribal rhytmns, the second song hammers away. The music is a variety of different styles and can be described as progressive melodeath with metalcore passages and epic atmospheric pieces on a bed of popmusic. A kind of Amorphis combined with In Flames using atmospheric pieces of Epica and Nightwish, elements of HIM and some metalcore rages.<\/p>\n
\u201cCastles In the Air\u201d starts in metalcore tempo with harsh singing, but then clean vocals enter the song. This clean vocals sound rather immature and aren\u2019t strong enough to make any impression on me. Also the band uses more atmospheric keyboard pieces in a way Epica and Nigthwish do, but I\u2019m constantly asking myself is this fitting in the entire ambience. After the fourth track I\u2019m getting even more confused, without the harsh\/grunting vocals and the aggressive drumming, it\u2019s almost pop music I\u2019m listening to. On the other hand, it does work at times, but I\u2019m not really convinced. In \u201cAt the End\u201d the clean singing ruins the song again (flawless and without inspiration) . I advice the band to look out for a guest appearance next time by a good singer. The production could also have been much heavier with the guitar riffs more in front to create a heavier album.<\/p>\n
All in all there are enough good intentions and ideas, but there is too much diversity and variety in styles that I never get the feeling that I\u2019m listening to something really good and groundbreaking, but perhaps they prove me wrong within a few years.<\/p>\n
