English Version:
It's always a special reason for me to meet new bands within Rock/Metal, whether they have heavier or epic influences, I've always liked to exacerbate my mind and of course render the everyday playlist even more, in addition to being able to inform about news.
Battle Symphony is a Greek project that performs very well an epic Heavy Metal with good doses of classical music, as well as creative moments full of feeling for the purest side of Opera Metal.
All this is led by the Greek journalist, author and keyboardist Nikos Tzouanni, a guy with extreme musical talent who brings together a team full of great names for the vocals of his songs, in fact, here we see several of them in their 12 tracks.
Their debut is called "War on Earth", it was made available on 5/15 and is produced by Ektoras Tsolakis, who knew very well how to create a unique and perceptible atmosphere among fans of Symphonic Epic Metal bands from Greece, in addition to unite elements that I mentioned earlier.
Its tracks don't sound forced or repetitive, everything is well constructed and executed with perfection, each nuance is a different discovery of superior quality, meeting with a pleasant and relaxing listening, as if you are reading something and you can't miss the next chapter.
The production does not disappoint, everything is cool (especially this details), makes evident the quality of those involved and makes the listeners perception of the riffs, inspired and captivating melodies, in addition to the great vocal structures that each track receives even more unique.
I believe this is an inspiring album, much of it is seen in great names of the styles I mentioned, it's not something you can create just because you're a fan, but because you're competent and develop a line of work worthy of the great masters of Metal, its foundation is built around great moments and that makes a huge difference for such a creative album.
It's not easy to indicate a track here, everything is so good that it deserves your full understanding, but I leave a tip that made me very happy, the track "Soul Survivors"!
Listen Now and recommend this excellent work!
“War on Earth” is available as a digipack CD with a special bonus track and as a digital release on all streaming platforms.
