I had seen a lot of times the past albums from Solemnity, the band from Germany has already released two more albums via Remedy Records. Now it their third album, Solemnity decided to formed their own label in order to be completely free and to release what ever they want. So even i had seen their previous albums i have never heard their music. The first time i saw them, was in one of the two first Keep it True festival. In all their covers the band uses an epic atmosphere and this is because the band walks in traditional heavy / epic metal paths. As they say, their new album is more epic from their previous works. Personally i agree with them, because i heard the album and it is an epic metal piece steel. In this album you will hear what you want for a heavy / epic metal album with all the clichés that you can imagine but i think that's why all the fans of epic metal loves this kind. The compositions are well worked with nice ideas and interesting guitar themes. Also the band has covered a song from Aria, the biggest heavy metal band from Russia with great fame in their country. They have sell millions of albums but few metal heads knows them in Europe. Maybe because they sing in their mother tongue but i think this is the most interesting part in their music. Anyway back to Solemnity, i believe that with their third album, they did the breakthrough from the average heavy metal bands to the groups that have their personal sound. Check them if you like heavy / epic metal.
