Edenbridge are back with a work that follows classic
goth-power footsteps. Many influences from Nightwish regarding the
structure of the song , guitars get a power riffing very hard and
melodic, while i notice very good keyboards and piano supported by
wonderful vocals ...very original and full of emphasis;
Much care is put regarding the arrangements in all
songs;
romantic atmosphere involves the second track
"Skyward " where the melody is fantastic .....while
oriental atmosphere fills "The Final Curtain" that is
one of my favourite although the guitar is always in power metal style
and sometimes is not perfect;
Melodies are the prerogative of this band, and the
musicians get a good tecnique and are able to create brilliant parts
giving a good touch to all songs;
The songs are full of solos offered
both by guitars and keyboards , and the cd is very pleasant although
there's nothing original as regarding the style that is very similar to
Nightwish and sometimes Stratovarius...in particular in "Fly at higher Game"
in which the guitars are influenced by Tolkki in a very incredible
way!!!!!!
Sabine's vocals are perfect in all songs and in particular
the ballads are sung with a lot of emphasis. I like "As far as
eyes can see" which showcases a very beautiful melody and all arrangements
are something wonderful!!!!What a romantic song!!!!!
Power Metal background in the follow "The
whispering Gallery" where Sabine leaves many parts to the
guitar solos ;
Another good note concerning "Where silence
has lease" that is another good ballade, while the others power songs nothing add to this work that will be a classic for this
style........nothing original but a good album!!!
