Italy is the home of power, progressive metal
band Dragonia.
“Resurrection” shows exactly what this band can do, even
if they don’t keep up the great stuff throughout. Musically
this disc is constructed pretty well. It appears they know exactly
what they want to write. The riff selection isn’t perfect all
the time but it’s decent enough that you don’t get bored.
Guitar solos are excellent along with many of the leads, but some
of the rhythm guitars might not flow as much as the leads. They aren’t
as consistent. Vocally they are somewhat similar to Tim Owens (Judas
Priest, Iced Earth), he can hit notes that are pretty high, but it
can get annoying when he’s off a little. There might only be
three tracks on this CD but it almost reaches18 minutes. Each song
is about 5:50 minutes of New Wave of Italic Epic Metal…at least
that is what they call themselves. Other than that, the production
is pretty good. If anything it’s a tad bit raw, nothing that
interferes you from hearing the music. If everything becomes a little
more consistent people will start to appreciate this band in a better
way. Rating: 70 |
