KALEDON - Carnagus - Emperor of the
Darkness
Sleaszy
Rider Records
I
know the band many years and I appreciate their passion for the power metal
sound that gives them all they need to keep releasing albums all these years.
The band started in 1998 in Italy and up to now I was thinking that their name
was a different spelling of the word Caledonia that ancient Romans used to call
the land of Scotland back then. Actually Kaledon is an imaginary land that the
musicians of the band have created.
Anyway,
KALEDON with this release have reached, if I am not mistaken, their tenth full
length album and personally speaking it is the first time they managed to draw
my attention and actually made me buy the album. You see I am not a big fan of
the epic symphonic power metal sound which I consider most of the times too
happy failing to create an epic feeling. However, this time KALEDON have
managed to create a release that is symphonic, melodic and above all heavy.
They have probably created the darkest and most aggressive release of theirs up
to now. The sound in this album actually fits perfectly to the concept story
that is about an Emperor of darkness.
As
I said this is an album that I have bought and I can easily put next to great
symphonic power metal releases. Probably the best release of this sound for
2017.
