Majestic
Vanguard is the new rising force from Sweden in the melodic
metal paths. "Beyond the Moon" is their debut
album which was released last year through Rivel records.
I must say that i didn't like most of the releases from Rivel
Records, but when i heard the stuff from these guys, i
changed my mind because Majestic Vanguard did a very
good debut. Imagine influences from Stratovarius,
Rhapsody, a progressive touch from Dream
Theater and the personal sound of Majestic Vanguard
and finally you will have the ten tracks from this album.
Maybe a lot of you will wonder why should I listen to a new
melodic metal band instead of listening to the well known
bands and i will answer to you, in order to hear a fresh melodic
metal band with a modern look in the metal music genre. Another
interesting thing is that Daniel Eskilsson is actually
the man behind this band, because except the drums, he writes
all the songs, all the lyrics and he did the production too.
Last but not least Daniel has written Christian lyrics
and besides the music, personally i was impressed by the lyrics
theme too. If you say that you like melodic metal make sure
to take a listen to this album and you won't regret it.
