Kotipelto & Liimatainen – Blackoustic 2012

NOW!

the first ever acoustic album from two members originally rooted in the Power Metal scene: Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) and Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica). The titled says it all: Blackoustic contains dark but by all means atmospheric acoustic renditions. Most of the songs were chosen from the duo`s live set-list, including familiar Stratovarius covers like `Black Diamond’ and `Hunting High and Low’, but also songs like `Serenity’ and `Sleep Well’ from Kotipelto`s solo albums have been given the new acoustic treatment; proving that behind great heavy metal song, there’s very often a stunning melody screaming to come out. Furthermore, the album includes beautiful cover versions of Pete Townshend’s `Behind Blue Eyes’ and Deep Purple’s classic `Perfect Strangers’. As a special bonus Blackoustic also features a brand new composition: `Where My Rainbow Ends’ written by Jani Liimatainen. Earmusic.

Dark Sky – Initium 2012

NOW!

Germany’s Dark Sky morphs again with their fifth album Initium. The long running band makes a turn toward more melodic metal, even power metal, and away from some of their earlier hard rock AOR roots. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that ‘initium’ is latin for ‘beginning.’

But there’s also little doubt that the AOR melodic rock background influences many of the songs here. Songs like The Rock, Shout It Out and the quite catchy You’re Alive have a solid rock groove punch coursing through the arrangement. Put the two songs, Gethsemane, an instrumental, with the following I Swear, and Dark Sky develops into symphonic power metal. Then back to edgier hard rock on Shout It Out and an epic metal anthem on the closer, Eternity.

Terra Incognita – Barren Land 2012

NOW!

? would like to begin by mentioning what impressed me the most since minute one. The voice! It’s solid and “thick”, it’s powerful and passionate. Falsettos are a parameter for sure as well as a fabulous vibrato, almost operatic! On the other hand, it possesses so much roughness, it can Rock as hell! The Greek band is here to suggest some of their own things around Metal, served with lyrical extensions; I’d say it’s a pure Metal band, featuring Progressive elements. Motif is epical and majestic, choruses are totally melodic; you are about to listen to some Doom tunes, that’s also inside the package. For instance, “Cage of sins” is one of those songs…
