INSTANZIA
– Ghosts
Metalodic Records
On Christmas Eve, I was in the mood for something more
melodic than my usual listening choices, and INSTANZIA’s album Ghosts from
Canada proved to be a fitting selection. After multiple listens, I can affirm
that the album is a worthwhile addition to the power metal genre.
From the outset, it is evident that the band
demonstrates a strong sense of melody and the ability to craft memorable songs.
Their sound aligns with European power metal, incorporating elements of
progressive metal in their song structures. For fans of bands such as Orden
Ogan or classic Edguy, Ghosts offers a fresh perspective within the genre, with
compositions that go beyond the conventional.
The album consistently showcases the band’s
songwriting skills, making it accessible yet engaging. Notable tracks include
“Power of the Mind,” “A Genius Who Believes,” and the eleven-minute epic “The
Desert Fox,” which bears some resemblance to Sabaton’s style. These songs
exemplify the band’s capacity for creating compelling and diverse musical
narratives.
Overall, Ghosts presents a balanced blend of melody,
technicality, and thematic depth, making it a recommended listen for European
power metal enthusiasts. Personally, I found the album to be an enjoyable
experience, one that I anticipate revisiting multiple times to appreciate its
nuances and craftsmanship.
