In the burgeoning metal sub-genre of Folk Metal, it doesn’t get much better than Eluveitie. If they are not at the top of the Folk Metal Mountain, then they’re pretty damn close. The Swiss band returns with their fifth album “Helvetios”, and from the word go, this is a relentless aural assault that pretty much is unyielding until the end comes after about 59-minutes. “Helvetios” may be Eluveitie’s most complex work to date, as the band has gone all out to raise the bar a little higher. The opening narration of “Prologue” sets up the story as the band blasts into the intense “Helvetios”. From the opening intro it is easy to discern that “Helvetios” is a concept album, you can read online what the story is about – it is far too long and complex to describe here, but as far the songs and the music goes, this is one merciless album from beginning to end. The choruses are forceful, memorable and delivered with genuine authority. Eluveitie comes at you with a powerful blend of their trademark folk-metal sound combined with Thrash-Metal like intensity. The bulk of the vocals are handled by Chrigel Glanzmann whose style is aggressive and harsh. Female vocals are present mostly for background and they really do enhance the songs, but the females in the band Anna Murphy and Meri Tadic make significant contributions besides on the vocal end of things as they add such non-traditional metal instruments as the hurdy gurdy, flute and violin, so their contributions should not go unrecognized, they are a big part of what Eluveitie does. After “Helvetios” next up is the phenomenal “Luxtos”, this is a perfect example of a song with an unforgettable chorus and one of my favorite songs. “Santonian Shores” has an upbeat, faster tempo and quickly became another favorite. Once again, a great chorus is present on this one. The female vocals are given the full spotlight and allowed to shine on “A Rose for Epona” and “Alesia”. “Alesia” in particular is phenomenal. It starts off slow like a ballad before getting heavier and the two different vocal styles (the female and male) duet on this one and it sounds just tremendous. The whole story is wrapped up nicely with the ending “Epilogue” drawing “Helvetios” to a close. Yes, Eluveitie do get mentioned in the Folk-Metal genre quite a bit. Maybe it’s deserved, maybe it’s not. There are certainly some Folk-ish elements in the songs, but that is just a part of what they do and why they are so effective (in my opinion). They don’t flaunt their Folk moments like ‘Look what we can do’; rather they utilize them when needed. “Helvetios” It is just a great album that – in my book – sets Eluveitie far apart from other bands in the genre.

Now for something complete different. Eklipse are a German string quartet who gives their special treatment to some modern rock and pop songs, some well known, others are not. Eklipse really are not a metal band; however they have been chosen to open for Nightwish, which is a cool thing. Whether you like the songs chosen or not, Eklipse has certainly breathed new life into some of the material. The members of Eklipse portray a sexy image and there is always the danger that it might overshadow the music. I don’t think that’s the case at all on “A Night of Strings”. The band offers their takes on such songs as “Wonderful Life”, Linkin Park’s “In the End”, “Cry Me a River” by Justin Timberlake (which the band also made a video out of) and “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga. Eklipse gives the songs a melancholic twist. Of course this is not music to band your head to; it’s more or less something that you can chill out to. I don’t know how this will go over with a metal audience, but it is still quite different than what the metal community is used to. The four musicians who make up Eklipse are obviously very talented. It would be interesting to see how their music translates into a live setting. It might be appealing to hear Eklipse cover more traditional metal songs, or even write their own material at some point, and one or two guest vocalists wouldn’t hurt either. Wherever they go from here, Eklipse has definitely put their own stamp on some well known songs.

Review by Tony Cannella

From Italy, Settima Draconis are an interesting Symphonic/Gothic/Death Metal band. Their debut 4-song, 30-minute demo is titled “Vengeance”, and it is a heavy, bombastic and dramatic addition to the metal realm. Settima Draconis features two vocalists. The male Erik provides a Death Metal style, whilst Francesca adds her operatic style. The opening track, the 7-minute “Vengeance” begins with a strange sounding intro before Erik introduces himself with his forceful vocal style as the rest of the band joins in and we are off and running. The second track, “What Do I Have Left” is 9-minutes long and a true epic. This song, hands down, became my favorite as it takes so many twists and turns and features a strong orchestral presence. “Secret Spring” is next and has melancholic vibe, featuring violins and Francesca is allowed to really shine on this one. The final track “Bloodspawn” is another huge highlight that brings “Vengeance” to a stunning, frenzied conclusion. I have to admit that at first, I didn’t know quite what to make of “Vengeance”, but after repeated listenings it is obvious that Settima Draconis has something substantial to offer.

Austria’s Melancholic Gothic Metallers Shadows’ Grey was born in 2007 under the banner Scargod. After releasing an obscure demo the band re-emerged with their new moniker Shadows’ Grey and has just unleashed their full-length debut “Bonjour Tristesse” on the unsuspecting metal populace. In addition to the well played Gothic Metal slant that Shadows’ Grey excels at, the band also manages to incorporate a bit of a prog influence as well. “Bonjour Tristesse” features 12-songs and 60-minutes worth of music. Throughout the CD Shadows’ Grey showcases three distinctively different vocal styles. First you have Martina Penzenauer’s Cristina Scabbia-esque vocals in combination with two male singers, one with a clean style and the other a more, aggressive, angry approach. The opening track “Cold” starts off with piano and a slow tempo and the clean vocals of Martina before the track really gets heavy and male vocals that are on the more extreme side join in. For the most part “Cold” keeps a steady, driving mid-tempo pace throughout and is a solid opener. The next track “I Search For Your Hand” opens with a great riff that remains consistent throughout the song, that combined with a great melody makes this one of the highlights for me. “Hurt” starts off as a ballad, before changing tempos several times and the three vocal styles all come together on this song. “Gone” is up next and features a nice chorus that you could hum along to. “Worlds Collapse” highlights Martina’s vocals exclusively. One of the more interesting songs is the acoustic and orchestral “The Promise” that showcases the clean male vocals. Other highlights include: “Lust”, “Broken”, the 8-minute “Love Is Suicide” and the powerful final number “Scargod” (the bands former namesake) which develops into an all out band jam near the end. I wasn’t sure what to expect with “Bonjour Tristesse” but after one listen it became clear to me that Shadows’ Grey are not ‘just another Goth band’. By incorporating more variety and nuances than your average Gothic Metal band, Shadows’ Grey manages to keep things interesting.

Review by Tony Cannella

My goodness, what is this? I have to admit that I was pretty blindsided by the debut promo from Greece’s Seduce the Heaven. I turned on my Ipod and prepared to give this band a good listen before jotting my thoughts down. The next thing I remember, I’m picking my jaw up off the floor, and regaining my senses. In short, I loved this band, this album and I just simply was not prepared for the ferocity and all out merciless attack that these 5-songs provided. First of all, Seduce the Heaven have little or nothing to do with the current crop of female fronted, symphonic, operatic metal bands. They are a bit different in that their songs have a more straight-forward, modern metal approach with all the energy of thrash metal, without it actually being thrash metal (if that makes any sense). The duel vocals provided by female singer Elina Laivera and growler Vagelis Kolios are pure magic together. The vocals are mostly split evenly with each singer adding their own personal touch. Of course Elina’s style is a more melodic Cristina Scabbia/Amy Lee style, while Vagelis gives off an aggressive, go-for-the-throat style. It’s what helps give Seduce the Heaven their melodic style, whilst still managing to be a forceful, aggressive metal machine. The opening track “Fallen” really sets the pace with its huge guitar riffs. The vocals are supplied solely by Elina on this as she showcases her dramatic vocals. Vagelis doesn’t make his first appearance until the second song “Baseless Addiction”. This song continues the aggressive direction set forth by the previous song, but even more so, thanks to the hostile vocals provided by Vagelis and the crunchy riffs. The contrasts between the two vocal styles are put on full display here. The closing trio of “Field of Dreams”, “Illusive Light” and “Reflection” offers the listener an outstanding conclusion to this 25-minute disc. Despite the material being mind bogglingly heavy at times, Seduce the Heavens still manages to inject some great melodic moments into their sound. After the completion of the Seduce the Heaven promo, I could hardly wait to hear it again. Seduce the Heaven may be the best new band I have heard all year.

Hailing from the U.K., ReVerbed are a young band, very young, like in their teens young. They have just issued their debut album “Lies You Can Believe”. Throughout the course of this 13-song, 50-minute debut, the band displays a straight-forward hard rocking, Punk-Rock like energy and exuberance that is quite dominant until the album reaches its conclusion. In its ranks, ReVerbed features two females and two males, with lead vocalist Zoe also contributes guitars. The pounding opener “What Went Wrong” showcases the bands Punk Rock leanings as this is just a straight-forward energetic opener and sets a good pace for what is to follow. The slower paced “Obsession” is next and features an effective, grinding riff and has a bit of a classic rock vibe going for it. The adrenalin fueled “Run” picks up the momentum and energy once again. Other highlights include: “You”, “Scream”, “Not Alone”, “Shadow” and “Burn” which immediately became a huge favorite, thanks to its infectious chorus. On “Lies You Can Believe”, ReVerbed offers something a little rawer than a lot of the female fronted metal that is out there these days. Despite their young age, and I am sure that many people will focus on their youthfulness; the band displays a musical maturity beyond their years. Whatever the case “Lies You Can Believe” is a good first effort at any age.

Review by Tony Cannella

It is hard to believe that the Italian traditional heavy metal band White Skull released their debut album back in 1995. And with their latest album, “Under This Flag” has just released their ninth album. The band has gone through a number of lineup changes throughout their history; including a time with a male vocalist, fortunately the band came to their senses and re-formed with Federica De Boni she is the singer for them, in my opinion. With all of the metal bands coming from Italy, White Skull were one of the trailblazers for the current crop even though musically they are quite different than a lot of the current Italian metal bands. “Under This Flag” is just a full-on heavy metal assault from the opening song “Hunted Down” to the closer “Redemption” and everything in between. There are very few quiet moments and certainly no ballads – not that White Skull were ever a band to write many ballads, the closest thing to a ballad is “Red Devil” which quickly heats up and leaves any thoughts of a ballad behind quickly and turns into an anthemic metal track. The band performs with all the enthusiasm and fire of young band. Lead vocalist Federica delivers her vocals with ferocity, power and not much in the way of subtlety. The production is relentless and in-your-face; a fact brought forth on songs like “Bottled Mind”, “Lost Alone”,“Under This Flag” and “War After War”. The riffs come fast and furious throughout this disc which lasts almost an hour. When it comes to writing straight-forward heavy metal songs, there is no way you can question White Skull’s conviction or sincerity. With such a large body of work, you would think that it might be difficult to maintain that hunger, but with “Under This Flag” White Skull has managed to do that. White Skull just seems to get better and better with age and with “Under This Flag” has recorded quite possibly the best album of their long career.

Interview by Miriam “NocturnalConcerto”

Talking via Skype with a legend of the heavy metal is not one of your regular day, believe me but we’re able to track down Federica “Sister” De Boni, the legendary singer of the Italian defenders White Skull share with us some infos about the new album “Under This Flag” and a small chit chat about coming back in Italy and personal tastes. Hail on!

First of all Federica, welcome back in Italy!

Thank you dear!

How’s coming back in Italy after so much time and what’s the thing that you missed so much when you were in America?

It is amazing. Me and my family loved it here and were missing the Italian life. I think I missed my friends and metal the most. We lived in a State where country music rules.

A curiosity, what state?

Georgia.

I was saying Tennessee I was close hahah

Yeah …. just southern where the bible belt runs the place.

I totally got it.. I’m just wondering now one of those places with a wood bar all drinking beer and dancing country songs.. how you endure this, I mean your’re a real defender in the midst of some lousy rockers…

Ha ha ha I felt just like you said… just staying in my porch with hubby and kids listening to “House of Hair” (Dee Snider Heavy Metal Radio Show) part.

Well, I must say that it was a great choice for endure all that stuff, something to clutch on hahaha…

Yeah, pretty muche THE ONLY choice and a few occasional concerts of local metal bands but very few oh and also we used to watch “That Metal Show” on TV so well we had some choice.

Luckily you have had that too, in Italy (I mean nowadays) except maybe for Virgin Radio we haven’t nothing like that.. you’re away 10 years but from that point of view nothing changed unfortunatly…

I realized that when I came back but we can still go online and look for those shows, we need to be flexible and get what we can find, right?

Exactly.. the Italian TV and the radio are only good for commercial music sadly. There are so many HM bands here in Italy and deserve to be recognized, we need to go to concerts and support them.

It’s totally a good thing to do, support italian metal underground, in this case the HM genre.You know if the media is not supporting HM in Italy we have to stand up and support our way.

And I’m not to saying pleasentries now, I prefer to support underground instead of the big acts I mean the big big acts has already the right following of fans sometimes we need to look inside our country and give our support to this little bands but way back to us andif you are back in Italy, it’s natural that you’re back in White Skull. How’s was the first meeting with the guys, how’s after so much years (I remember to the readers that you left the band in 2000) being back in the White Skull squad?

I agree. I love big bands myself but just love to listen to what local (italian) bands come up with. It was just like it wasn’t that long… I mean, since the first rehearsal we connected immediatly. We wrote the new album in no time. That really blew my mind how simple and natural the return has been.

You know, for the startest when I have read the news that you were back in WS I was really happy and yes kind of surprised I must admit it, yesterday that I was nailing down some questions I was thinking about it “Damn, after 10 years that she didn’t record anything, would very hard for her” instead you tell me it easy maybe after all those years you still have had the “fire” burning inside you..

It comes natural for me. First I have known metal for 20 years or more, then I do have experience in song writing and most of all I do live Metal as my life style.

Everything helps.. well I’ve listened a little bit to the album congratulations.. it’s very clear and an HQ production, what you can tell me about its genesis? Despite the fact as you have stated before that come out in a natural way…

WS is known for the concept albums. This time we wanted to get away from the past and talk about something modern and close to us. Therefore we had close experience with the wars around us and wrote about it. I’ve been a soldier wife and had a lot to say about the warfare and here comes “Under This Flag”… fight for everything you care for.

And for this is reason that the cover album, if we compare to “Public Glory, Secret Agony” or “Tales from the North”, is more straight-in-your-face and very simply? Probably more direct but very powerful maybe means also “if we reunite us under a flag we can fight this wars (or evil) together”.. when I saw I thought this interpretation, can be right?

Damn right. We want to get the Metal headbanger to join us and fight for Metal. We will say it as loud as we can and for as long as we can. WS flag is really a stand to reunite what is left of metal…

Well, talking about gather around and female solidarity I’m curious to know how was being a woman singing in a heavy metal band in the 90s? It was difficult or haven’t had a model to follow? For what I know closest rode model that you have had at the times were Doro, Girlschool and Sabine Classen.

I was really lucky Tony believed I could do the job, in 1990 a woman singing Metal was sort of a “odd thing” even if Doro and Girlschool, Lita Ford and so on was around.

Maybe if we go deep deep in the italian underground we have Morgana, I don’t know if you know her she was singing in the 80s/first 90s.

I do know Morgana and she did really challanged the Metal scene, I am really proud of having been around since the 90s and back now.

You are a national heritage, I mean also if the media won’t promote the scene you’re one of the Italian precursor female singer..comes really hard to think (at least for me) a closest singer to confront with you.

Thank you. I feel I am just one of many that are here living what they believe.

Many CDs of your discography are sold out since ages, there are any planes to re-released them without spending a lot of money on eBay? I know that the Polish Metal Minds Production has re-released years ago (in 2008 to be precise) in a limited number of copies “Tales From The North” and “Public Glory, Secret Agony” but the stocks are gone, really really gone and for the young fans that are trying to collect and buy the first albums is a problem, are really hard to find and it’s kinda become utopistic have your entire discography.

I heard about it but this is the market and WS is unable to have a say about it. Sad but true YouTube helps this out by publishing the songs for free.

But if you face the truth you cannot earn anything from that…it’s not fair! I mean is disrespectful towards you, the musicians.

I know but as far as WS music is broadcasted we will be all right.

So you count that all that people that listen WS on YouTube will support at live concerts and buying the last releases?

YouTube will spread the word, get us more opportunities and maybe some CDs sold but as we said Metal is not the TREND right now but who cares, we will get our message through.

Maybe I’m talking the wrong person (I’m imagine that you collect a lot of vinyls/CDs) but do you think about the digital music stores like Itunes?

Sure Itunes can sell the music. But this will be our label sale policy to decide it.

But now I put the question in a more personal way, as music lover what do you prefer the CD format or the digital one?

Right now in a digital world it would make more sense to get it out via internet I just do love the CD with pictures and lyrics.

Because you can “feel” them right? I mean when I see my collection I still cannot believe it have it and collect them everytime I listen to them and have the booklet in my hand I feel very proud of myself..

Yes, it does become a personal matter, you have it and can ask the musician to autograph it just like your own treasure, so much worth it \m/

Hahahah that’s true!! Well, we’re near the end what are the next planes talking live gigs and promotions? I hope you come again near where I live ‘cause some years ago with the old band members WS played a gig!!

We have a lot of gigs on schedule and I do really hope we will have the chance to play in your area as well…I am sure we will meet someday! Keep the Metal on and since then … if it ain’ t Metal, well it’s crap!!!!!!!

That’s for true! As a final question I’ll asking you to greet freely you fans and our readers and thanks for this awesome interview, Sister!

To all the metal heads: have a blast !!! WS is back and ready to kick ass just come out and play!!! Thank you for this opportunity I’ve really enjoyed the interview.

Sad Alice Said began in 2005 as an all female outfit called Alice In Wonderland. Since changing the name, the band has undergone some line-up changes and not features a multi-gender line-up. Sad Alice Said recently signed to BlueFreya Music has just issued their debut single for the song “Open Your Eyes”. “Open Your Eyes” begins with some nice piano before transforming into a melodic, Symphonic Metal piece and a song that is not easy to forget once you’ve heard it. The track is 4-minutes long and lead vocalist Alisa Shakor provides an outstanding vocal range throughout, and the usage of violins helps to give it a melancholic vibe. I know it’s only one song, but “Open Your Eyes” has me more than a little interested in what Sad Alice Said has in store on their future recordings.

Review by Tony Cannella

Road to Consciousness is the new project from mastermind Bernard Daubresse (ex-Free Launch, Lovelorn). The 13-song, 60-minute CD features a vast array of musicians and contributors from around the metal globe. It is amazing to see how many great musicians have lent their massive talents to this ambitious project. Road to Consciousness is a big melodic, symphonic metal project, that I am sure will appeal to fans of the genre. With around 20 musicians featured on the album, you may think that it would be difficult to find something for all of them to do, but that is not the case, as each musician adds their own unique stamp to the proceedings.There is a common theme running through each of the songs, based on the human condition and problems, thoughts that maybe the listener themselves has experienced. The epic 4 part track “Road to Consciousness” brings the album to a grandiose conclusion as the album just builds and builds up to that point and the four part closer really pushed it over the top for me. But there are many solid moments to be heard lead up to the finale. Songs like “The Middle Path”, “Mirror Mirror”, “I Am God” and “Jennifer” all display the passion and heart that went into this project. Road to Consciousness is everything that the symphonic metal fan should love. One has to wonder if this is only a one off, I certainly hope not because it would be cool to see where Road to Consciousness go from here.
