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.
