Do you know any band
that comes from Canada not being very
good at what it does? Well, I can't
find one. Same goes for Antiquus,
whose latest cd I've received
recently (ahem…to be perfectly
honest a while ago) and it makes me
think, what the hell is going on there?
What's the secret?
I believe that my
prologue was more than enough for
you so as to understand that what
we have here, is something very good.
So, since we've cleared that up, let's
move on to the description of "Ramayana"'s
musical direction. It reminds me of
early 90's US power metal and particularly
2 bands, Steel Prophet and Solitude
Aeturnus (!!!)(in a more speedy tempo
of course).
6 of the 10 songs
are a part of a concept story with
the title "Ramayana".
I would dare to say that if you listen
to this album, you'll probably
agree with me that it sounds like
a 90's hidden treasure. Moreover,
I believe that this one could be released
through a big label, after changing
the mediocre cover and only that.
If there're
some labels out there in search of
fresh blood and new promising acts,
then Antiquus may turn out to be the
ideal signing. As for as, the fans…
Well you know. Duty calls. And as
always, we must contact the band and
order our copy, adding at the same
time another valuable item in our
collection. I'm sure we'll
hear from the soon. |
