Dakesis – Trial By Fire (2011)

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.
