Dark Nova – Dark Nova (2012)

Superrr  Heavy / Power / Progressive Metal…

The band have released an album that perfectly balances between the melodic Prog Metal, the European Power Metal and the Neoclassical Metal. As I already pointed they are presenting a very special way of song writing emphasizing mostly on mid tempo parts full of glorious melodies and catchy memorable choruses meanwhile they are enforcing each and every song with brilliant lead guitar parts and beautiful keyboard themes. They pay serious attention into their song’s structures providing an adventurous result that keeps the listener stuck into every song.

As influences I would like to mention Conception (“Parallel Minds” album), Kamelot (“Dominion: and “Siege Perilous” albums) while on their fastest parts you will be able to meet some of the Lost Horizon’s (Sweden), spirit. If you pay closer attention to the lead guitar parts Of Mr Elias Koskris you will discover a lot of Malmsteen and Impelliteri influences, the keyboards of Marry Tassouli are carrying a classical touch from time to time making the songs even richer.
At first point I was some kind of afraid that the on the 12 songs that are included in this record I would be able tot rack down some fillers. It happens all the time especially when an album consists of more than 10 songs. Well you would also be surprised enough to discover how wrong I was. Let’s go for a little song by song reference…
