NARNIA – Narnia
Massacre
Records
When
C.J. Lewis created the “Chronicles of Narnia” he wanted to write a tale that
was also a metaphor about the Christian religion. Actually the Lion Aslan is
considered to represent Jesus Christ. So, I think this is the reason that the
band chose to use this name, because if you check their lyrics then you will
realize they have themes about Jesus and the Christian religion in general. It
is what we can simply say a white power metal band.
The
band in May 2010 decided to quit, but this decision was not terminal. 4 years
later, in 2014 they decided to reunite and this album, which is their seventh
studio album, is their first release after their reunion.
Having
listened to their first albums I have witnessed that in their new release the
band although it has not declined its sound; it has certainly reduced the
neoclassical elements. Actually their new album is moving more on the
heavy/power metal paths with some hard rock touches. In my opinion the band on
this album is definitely influenced by musicians like DIO, AXEL RUDI PELL and
JORN, without though leaving out some YNGWIE MALMSTEEN influences.
“Narnia”
is a nice comeback for the band that will not disappoint its fans and maybe
will bring some new to them, since the songs here are more straight forward
with catchy melodies and passionate interpretations. It is obvious that NARNIA
can still offer some good tunes to the fans of melodic heavy/power metal.
