review by Salvo "Lovedeath" Russo____ |

This album is destinated to be one of the unforgettable ever!!!! "Black Halo” represents the magniloquence, the power, the intensity, the sadness....In this masterpiece the music buries in the heart of deep sensations, sung and played with a unique interpretation, in which the band delivers a pure masterpiece!!
Powerful guitars, great rhythmic session, and a singer that gets a great technique and a great voice!!!!! Eletronic sound is perfectly mixed to the dreaming keyboards!! The production is absolutely perfect! The
participation of Dimmu Borgir singer in the opener "March of
Mephisto" together with Jens johnsson (Stratovarius) is one more
reason to be interested to this great opera!
It's
just a pure masterpiece, in which the progressive metal parts are
justified by the soul of the songs....and it's just the moment to say
that Kamelot are one of the best band ever in this style!
"Soul society" is another emotional song in which I can't but mention the ability to make amazing song'structures!! Great melodies, and great rhythmic session, able to give feeling to the songs! Roy
is still the protagonist in "Abandoned" in which he sings the
strophe with a deep and passional voice! The song is a crying
power-metal ballad full of intensity. "This
pain" is another sad power-metal song in which the great work is
made by the rhythmic session (guitars too)!!! It may be a not inspired
refrain but Kamelot are able to be emotional by the perfect way to
give a structure to the songs. The
title track is pure epic-power metal that remind me of the best Symphony
X ,but it's still not finished! Kamelot
amaze me with the powerful and great riff of "Nothing ever
dies", that is one of my favourite song of this album. "Momento
Mori" is a classic epic-power metal song full of darkness full of
sadness and melancholy. Another not unforgettable song is the last
track of this album "Serenade", even if it is agreeable. This
album is a masterpiece...A pure masterpiece of sensations and depth.
rating: 9.5/10 |
