From Germany, WolveSpirit offers something a little bit different than today’s crop of Female Fronted metal bands.With their debut album “Spirit Metal”, WolveSpirit gives the listener a healthy dose of pure heavy metal, combined with 70s era classic hard rock/heavy metal, to create an album that ironically sounds fresh in today’s metal landscape. The opening duo of “Change” and “Hero” gets the ball rolling. While technically, Debbie is not the greatest vocalist you will ever here, she has got a huge voice loaded with passion and heart, which in some cases is more valuable than technicality. Her voice is just a great metal style, which at times is reminiscent to me of Jutta from the legendary German metal band Zed Yago. Also, the Hammond Organ sound provided by Oli is what helps to give the band their 70s influence. The 3rd track “Ride On” has a very up-tempo style and free spirit to go along with the subject matter. This is just a good song to cruise around to on a gorgeous summer day, with your stereo cranked to 11. Other highlights include: “Wolves of Woden”, “Dune”, “Release” and “Home”. I will always find time for a band like WolveSpirit who plays just no frills, to-the-bone metal and for that reason I can highly recommend “Spirit Metal”.

Thy Symphony is a symphonic power metal band from Brazil. Their debut album is titled “Harmonizing the World” and it has got a strong classical symphony vibe to it and some solid duel male/female vocals provided by Camila Senne and Allan Ortiona. First off, I really like the way the two vocal styles come together on “Harmonizing the World”. Instead of using the popular beauty and the beast style, Thy Symphony is only enhance by the classic metal singing style by Allan Ortiona in combination with the operatic delivery provided by Camila Senne. After the obligatory short intro, the band launch into the powerhouse opening number “Pandora’s Box”. “Eternal Life” is among my favorites; this is just a great fast tempo track that moves along at a brisk and energetic pace. The title track has a big symphonic feel to it. Thy Symphony also has a dramatic element to them, which comes out in many songs. The majority of the songs have an up-tempo, melodic style to them and the vocals I would say are split pretty evenly. Other standouts include: “Broken Wings”, “God’s Call”, the great ballad “Sun and Moon” and “Survivor”. “Harmonizing the World” is one of those albums that I am sure will find a niche with the power metal crowd. This has all of the elements that will keep fans of the genre entertained. Thy Symphony is just an impressive band with a long future in front of them.

From Malta, Weeping Silence plays symphonic power metal with goth and doom undertones. In 2008, the band released their full-length debut, “End of an Era”, now Weeping Silence are back with a new 4-song, 25-minute promo CD. The 4-songs contained on the promo CD feature sweeping, epic arrangements and intricately played musicianship. Rachel Grech leads the way with her strong and clear vocal style.The opener, “Promises Broken” begins with a heavy riff and develops into a mid-paced tempo of an opener and immediately the full scope of this talented band is on display. Lead vocalist, Rachel Grech has a nice range as her vocals soar over the excellent musicianship.“Dark Waters” and “Within White Walls” are exceptional as well. The final track, “Innocent Cries” is over 7-minutes long and it brings the CD to a rousing conclusion. I have never been familiar with Weeping Silence prior to hearing this excellent promo CD but now I am a fan. With their promo CD, Weeping Silence combines all of the elements that I look for in a band. I am sure that Weeping Silence will appeal to fans of the symphonic power metal genre. At only 25-minutes long the CD is all too short, but it definitely serves its purpose in getting fans excited for the next full-length from Weeping Silence.
