As Matteo states “Transbohem classify themselves as World Prog Metal, which is a pretty ambitious definition”. Yes, you have heard right, this Franch band mix in their sound “metal, with frequents changes of tempo, rhythm and atmosphere, passing from prog metal to arabian music”. “This album is very challenging to listen to” but “keeps always your attention at a high level”. Also the particularity of this release is their vocalist Claire that “doesn’t actually “sings” but she pretty much adds to the general atmosphere with her vocal abilities, creating a very suggestive result”.

Besides this remark, he ends saying that Transbohêm “are going to be one of the most interesting bands in the years to come”.

We’ve got the chance for a short Q&A with Elvyne Lorent, singer of the Franch Symphonic Metal BandWHYZDOM. Despite her young age, the girl has the ideas quite clear and when she’s questioned about the title’s meaning (“Blind?”), she replies : “It’s about the blindness of people. You know, everyone sometimes refuses to open their eyes on what’s happening around them, because it’s more comfortable. And very often they pretend to be blind”.

Although, the Franch Gothic Doom metal band has recently faced some line up problems (see Johanna Manto and Marc Canlers’ departures), the Franchies have released a platter of an excellent quality. You don’t believe me? Just read some words from our reviewer Luisa: “It was since a long time I did not stumble upon such a good and quality release in the female fronted scene, at least the more gothic oriented. There is nothing new in the way it is composed, sung or played but all of the above it is done very well and you can feel the emotions”.

 BINGO! Again a CD by French Power/Progressive metal band Asylum Pyre, for the second time, has been RATED 100 out of 100. By the way, my personal congratulations but beside that from 2009 debut “Natural Instinct?” a lot has changed a including the new singer (the previous singer was Carole Alcantara) now the band is leading by Chaos Heidi that according to Tony she’s “proving to be a great choice”. Also “FIFTY YEARS LATER”, the second album, released via MASSACRE RECORDS on 2012 “screams class, from the song writing to the musicianship and overall presentation, “Fifty Years Later” has really kicked it up several notches from their debut. The band does a great job in mixing songs with epic arrangements with shorter songs while still maintaining a melodic base – everything is just so solid”. So what are you expecting for?
