The band comes from Italy. Its origins go back to 1999. The band was formed by four men playing music as: singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer. As usual, I start from viewing cover-art of album. According to me the cover-art is very important, because we have the first contact with the cover-art, before a music. This cover shows a rose flower, which for many has different associations, from a love through a wine to a blood. The plate has an insert containing the lyrics. The one opinion – it is a neat edition!
And now I will focus on the music. The album “Nineteen” contains 13 tracks played in the style of Power Metal. Melodic vocal reminds me of EUROPE. Listening to the album you can hear that the songs are considered. Everything is ripped, it sounds professionally. Guitar, bass, drums – characteristic for Power Metal.
Gentlemen can to present themselves instrumentally and vocally. But they keep to the principles of the music and they are limited to the style of Power Metal, without any frills, mood changes, etc .. But the beginning of the song “Highway to the People” is set apart from the rest. The motive is like a song from a western-style Ennio Morricone, and the same is with the beginning of the song “Untill The End,” which also smells like Wild West. I do not hide the fact that the mentioned songs most I like. I like like the songs combine moods and styles, and silence are interrupted strong impact sounds. Just something happens.
Summing up these my feelings, everything here “works” as you need, so you might want to listen to this disc.
