Music: Progressive Gothic Power Metal
Website: www.myspace.com/clariceband
Duration: 47:59 minutes (11 songs)
Country: Germany
Though the musicians' surnames sound in Italian this the band comes from Germany. Francesco Ferrari is a creator and a driving force of the compositions of CLARICE. The songs came into being by the friends' share. And probably “In This Order” is the first album of this project.
I would place this music near a shelf with the creators of Power Metal. The lots of guitar melodies, a dynamics and a heaviness with nostalgic and melodious vocals are here. However the progressive keyboards also belong to characteristic features of “In This Order”. The progressive melodies make more deep and cosmic the compositions. Thanks to these interventions the music becomes more spatial, mysterious and masterly.
The works are pretty sedate thematically as well as rhythmically. We will usually hear the average-quick paces. Though the slower themes also appear here, which sometimes are more melancholy, balladic and outright sweet. However in the 11 tracks I feel lack of some super-song – the track which will make me feel an oblivion and I will desire to listen the song without the end. Although I wonder to “Blame”. The track connects the dynamics, the catchy melodies and the progressive sounds. But if I wonder I do not know I abandon the opinion for the potential listeners.
I'm poring in the next works and I additionally feel Gothic Metal traces reminding HIM music. However CLARICE does not offer only nice for ear and sweet songs with the heavy guitars riffs but the band gives the keyboards-guitar Hard Rock and the Jazz Rock melodies.
