'Seraphic' is a symphonic metal band from Australia that has just released their first studio album with 'Journey to Illumination'. Led by the singer 'Sam Wolstenholme', which has a soprano tessitura and already shows a certain ease, they offer us 9 very classical melodic titles where piano plays an important role and reinforces the symphonic side. Apart from a short instrumental ballad 'The Road Less Traveled', the compositions mix energetic and calmer parts as in the magnificent 'The Silent Apocalypse' or 'The Tide Of Life' showing the full potential of the band. In short, even if they do not bring major novelties in a style where bands flourish on every street corner, 'Journey to Illumination' is a 2017 good surprise and should please all fans of symphonic metal loving bands Like 'Within Temptation'... | |
