Back in 1997, a band from Montreal, Canada,
was formed and named Celestial
Dawn. This formation yielded a band that has a power metal / 80’s
metal sound. Just think of fist-pumping metal bands. Some parts sound
like Maiden, while other parts are a little too repetitive and simple
to be compared to the legends. If they pick up the pace or intensity
it might be their advantage. At times there isn’t much going
on, making you a little bored. More complexity may be needed. There
are a number of strong singing vocals and the band members work well
together, but the songs are generally mediocre. The only real highlight,
if you can call it that, is that the vocalist reminds me slightly
of Steve Grimmett from Grim Reaper. Of the six tracks and over thirty
minutes of music on this demo. The best track is the song “Celestial
Dawn” but there were a couple other decent tracks, including
“Queen of the Damned” and ”Hereafter.” They
are an average band; there isn’t anything special they offer
more than the normal. It may grab the interest of people into Iron
Maiden, HammerFall, and Grim Reaper. Rating: 68 |
