\r\nAnother life is a one man band behind which is the guitarist Andreas Karlsson (RIBSPREADER, PAGANIZER), as well as the very well known Mr. Dan Swano who is behind the keyboards and the production of the album and has done a really good work in both sections. Debut album for Another Life, and there is a lot of melody, power rhythms and musical forms with prog extensions. The songs in general are beautiful, with a melancholic feeling and a “journey” sense. All good so far. However what kinda bothered me from the beginning of the album was the flat vocals.
\r\n“Kill the Headlights” came in our hands with a big delay, in fact the album was released in 2007, but I think that, though a bit belated, a presentation of this work is necessary. It is the fourth album of Adema with Bobby Reeves on vocals and Ed Faris as the second guitarist, members of LEVEL both of them. The band reminds a lot of KORN, a fact that derives also from the kinship of the previous singer of the group with Jonathon Davis which was a main reason to relate those bands so far.
Seventh Wonder is a Swedish metal outfit and this year have released their third album “Mercy Falls” through Lion Music
\r\nThe sound of Seventh Wonder can easily be described as Progressive Metal and personally I believe Seventh Wonder is on the best prog metal bands of our time.
Any time I see “Nordic Folk Metal” as an album category, I am afraid of what I am about to hear.
\r\nSo the same thing happened when with the second album of the Norwegian outfit Asmegin, “Arv”. Putting the CD on the the cd tray there were times that I really regretted my movement and there were times that I considered that as a wise move. Of course there is a reson why …
I got introduced to “Flowing Tears” music back in 1998 when I listened to their second release “Joy Parade” (as Withered Flowers & Flowing Tears). Since then many things have changed for the band despite their name. They have released six studio albums and had many line up changes
