This symphonic gothic power metal album
by Winter Haze from Italy is perfect for dancing around
the room like a loon. They are fronted by the gorgeous Giorgia
who has a rich powerful rock voice, which somehow reminds
me of Cher. She also sometimes uses pure semi operatic style
as well. ****
The first four tracks rattle along at a
cracking pace, with head banging riffs, anthemic vocals,
melodic keyboards by Stefano, and excellent guitar work
by Raffo. On ‘From Here to Eternity’ they take the pedal
off the metal for a soaring power ballad (special mention
for the superb guitar solo), before the instrumental shred
fest ‘Event Horizon’ picks up the pace again for the final
four numbers. All the songs are first class, so it is unfair
to single one out, but White Witch deserves an extra mention.
The album is also very produced, with a clear, rich sound.
****
This band deserves a good promotional push
and is highly recommended for fans of power metal bands
such as Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Rhapsody, and Holyhell.
