CONCORDEA – Over Wide Spaces
Independent
Russia
really has a very interesting and worthy to mention metal scene. I think that
the reason why its bands have not become so known abroad is mainly because of
the use of the Russian lyrics by most of them and that they are interested
mainly to spread their music inside their country. However, there are
exceptions to that rule and there are bands like CONCORDEA that use the English
language and are interested to spread their music all over the world.
“Over
Wide Spaces” is the debut studio album of the band which musically moves on the
path of melodic progressive power metal. The elements that characterize their
sound are the melodies which are supported by a firm rhythm section. Actually
CONCORDEA manage to keep a balance between the melodic and heavy elements of
their music and also give to their compositions a slight progressive touch that
makes their songs more interesting or unpredictable if you prefer. The
performance by all musicians here is on high level and the dialogue between
guitars and keyboards will offer you some very good moments to remember.
I
can’t say that CONCORDEA remind me of any known band in specific, but their
sound has many common elements with the Finnish metal scene and especially with
bands like STRATOVARIUS. The fact though is that CONCORDEA with their music can
create emotions of hope or nostalgia to the listener.
If
the debut album says much about the talent and the possibilities of a new band,
then CONCORDEA prove they can do a lot of things with the talent they have and
the composing maturity they display here. The most important thing though is
that a fan of melodic power metal will enjoy this album.
