Beyond The Silence

(self-released - 2008)



 
 

 

This is a 1-track e-single - there is another one called Scarlet Bell-Jar - which you can download from their website or from FreeMetalAlbums.

With Beyond The Silence the Brazilians present a fast power metal tune with thrashy riffs - and some growls. But the main vocals are clear ones, to compare their singer with Matt Barlow won't be right, but he's a bit of the Iced Earth frontman. And the combination of melodic power metal with thrashy elements also shows similarities, but at Beyond The Silence the Brazilians also add growls and complex parts as well as a short neo-classical metal influenced guitar part.

Even if Envoid can be compared with Iced Earth in some way, they also have some other influences / elements. Quite interesting, would be interesting to hear more from the guys.

Scarlet Bell-Jar

(self-released - 2008)



 
 

 

Actually I can't tell you anything about the band, only that they are from Brazil. This is a 1-track e-single which you can download from their website or from FreeMetalAlbums.

The song Scarlet Bell-Jar starts slowly with guitar, but then they pick up speed a bit and add heavy riffs. The song has a heavy groove and some reminiscences to riff-base bands like Iron Maiden and Iced Earth... A bit epic, with complex parts... Their singer get supported during the refrain from some deep mean vocals, then after a break a short slow passage and they head into a guitar solo - and lead over to the refrain. Not overly catchy, but after a few spins they hook you up!

To judge a band from one song isn't easy, but it seems to me that if the band gets a good deal and proper promotion they should have a very good chance to make it. Check them out!
