ZARPA – Imperia (2021)
Imperia is the first song, classic metal although somewhat soft and very similar to their previous albums, it talks about oppression, the Covid, in a poetic way. Azote de Dios reminded me of the 2002 album Luchadores de la Paz, one of his best works.
Canyons to Starboard with the classic galloping rhythm, with a certain melodic epic and a good guitar solo. The Wolfram sword was very emotional for me, because it is an ode to the early days of the band and if something defines Zarpa and Vicente it is that they never give up and look, they have always had it very difficult. Fight for the nations, in the vein of the previous themes, they want to sound epic on many occasions. Dark gods is a classic theme in Zarpa, it reminded me of Iberia or Beasts of Power, they are not my favorite works of the band, too predictable.
