'Brother Against Brother' is a new project that brings together the two Brazilian singers 'Renan Zonta' ('Electric Mob') and 'Nando Fernandes' ( 'Sinistra' ) under the leadership of the label 'Frontiers Records' and, which says 'Frontiers Records', also says 'Alexandro Del Viechio' who also participates in the project as a bassist. In the role of the big brother, 'Nando Fernandez' and in that of the youngest, 'Renan Zonta', who was known thanks to the show 'The Voice' in Brazil in 2016. No surprise, with the pedigree of the two singers and with the rest of the line-up composed of guitarist 'Jonas Hornqvist' and drummer 'Michele Sanna', we embark on a melodic and powerful heavy metal and the first tracks 'Two Brothers', 'What If' and 'City of Gold' are the perfect illustration, the first sending us a first muscular composition demonstrating all the talent of the vocal duo which works wonderfully on addictive melodic lines, the following confirming this communicative positive energy released and the third much more epic and taking us into an exotic journey in the form of a mid-tempo with a heavy and well-marked rhythm and, then, unrolling a new memorable melody. The rest is like the beginning with compositions whose choruses are immediately embedded in the head that only asks to headbang between effective melodic metal ('Heaven Sent', 'Haunted Heart' and 'Demons in My Head ') and grandiose and epic atmospheres (' Deadly Sins', and 'Whispers Of Darkness') and the only pause is brought by the acoustic ballad 'In The Name Of Life' showing once again the beautiful bond between the two Brazilians.
In short, this new duo of singers, 'Nando Fernandes' / 'Renan Zonta' came straight from the prolific boss of 'Frontiers Music', 'Serafino Perugino' who is very fond of these artists associations ( cf 'Allen/Olzon' and 'Allen/Lande'), even if they won't revolutionize the style, shows all the talent of these artists who offer us a remarkable album that should feature prominently on the shelves of fans of melodic heavy metal vocal duets... | |
