Female fronted Symphonic Power Metal band AMBERIAN DAWN return with their new album "Magic Forest" on Napalm Records. Female fronted bands have always been a target for hate in the Metal community, but it's nice to hear this powerful and lovely voice!
The only way I can think to describe this band is imagine Children of Bodom, put a girl in front and make it Power Metal instead of Death Metal. Capri's vocals are both beautiful and chilling throughout the entire album. These are over some strong instrumentals with a bunch of incredible guitar and keyboard solos, AMBERIAN DAWN bring Power Metal to a whole new galaxy!
As much as I'd like to talk about and praise each and every song on this album for you, there is one main song that sticks out the most. "I'm Still Here" is the perfect song to show what AMBERIAN DAWN bring, catchy vocals, insane but not over the top instrumentals and a wicked keyboard to guitar solo. If there is any song to look up to decide if you are going to like this band or album this is it right here.
"Magic Forest" is absolutely killer, if you're not one of those people who hates female fronted bands without rhyme or reason. Symphonic Power Metal is a rare treat and it gets even better when you find an astounding band that does it right!
