METALLIA

Metal-prog-fusion-trash-dreamlike-mesmerizing; SACRILEGE, BLACK SABBATH "Zero the Hero" period and a bit of EXCITER must have tickled his ears at one time or another, but also certain sections of PINK FLOYD for the unstructured or animal choirs!

​ "Red Lion" sets the tone with guitars in a metal vein with fast tempo and typical toumperleki, also time to get used to this singular voice and used like musical waves. "Bee" denotes with the most beautiful flamenco intro, quickly leading to a frantic flight of guitars joining these tenacious voices, guitars which seem to juggle the notes and give several rhythms to this title. "Androgyny" begins with a dark-ethereal chorus allowing the guitar playing to find its way in a raw and jerky way; we are on animal metal-prog with certain riff notes that PAIN OF SALVATION likes between softness and brutality. We are then taken by an intoxicating looped solo making us forget time.

"Resurrection" where lugubrious beats call out from the intro, then the guitar goes for the melody to allow a crescendo musical structure to be exploited leading to an enjoyable, orgasmic finale and therefore in different variations. "Dragon's Kiss" is a harder track to listen to with cyclothymic percussion, metal guitars, breathtaking violins and once again captivating vocals giving primary energy; the images offered may come directly from the dark Scandinavian landscapes where elves and other dragons lurk, as if there are some there in Greece too. "Triumph" arrives just to conclude this ultra-fast and too-short CD: here in just over 3 minutes, the bass takes us into dark territory, the drums at a tempo where time itself seems to slow down with its heavy and heavy side. repetitive, the guitar(s) brings several solos in convolution and further confusing the supposed framework of this title while the wild, screaming voices, close to delirium, lead to incomprehension of the ears!
