Elegacy
The Binding Sequence
Valery Records
Here is a second album of Elegacy from 2015. They bring a light to my duties while I listen to a lot of extreme stuff recently. I really need this type of albums and these Italians are perfect to burn down the shadows and achieve sort of life balance so I can keep on going better for myself with everything, basically,
Before I let this band swallow my darkness I have to write that I do not know if I actually am ready for this review but I`ll go with everything what`s on my mind.
I realized that I am not deeply in heavy power progressive metal but I know without doubt that I have always liked those genres. I am glad to catch up a little with modern heavy metal and this album then.
Elegacy is a band that is calibrating their music to reach out best melodies, either these are guitars or vocals. They like to write epic songs to play on your mood and emotions. There are quite lot of rhythm and tempo changes within songs but they keep it superbly catchy. This is quite strong heavy metal album with fish-rock elements and quite amazing keyboards which work nicely throughout the album. Elegacy uses prog. metal to back up their arrangements with more technicality but they not go with it that often so the compositions are more enjoyable than challenging to the listener. What else, the guitar solos are juicy and provides even more pro attitude to the album. Sometimes songs are sweet, and then suddenly, sharp and heavy metal riffs give you signal that you are dealing with metal album on the first place. The other artists that possibly influence this band are Dream Theater, Rhapsody Of Fire, Narnia which is enough to recommend The Binding Sequence I guess.
