│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ELVENPATH are a Power Metal band from Germany. ║ │
│║ There are many sounds of battles being fought ║ │
│║ complete with horses grunting and snorting with ║ │
│║ sword clashing and by far the cheesiest lyrics I ║ │
│║ have ever heard. For instance, ôMetal steel ║ │
│║ Metal steel whoa whoa whoaö. Yes, those are the ║ │
│║ exact lyrics from the song of the same name. The ║ │
│║ singerÆs accent is so bad it sounds like he is ║ │
│║ saying completely different. ôLot to steelö is ║ │
│║ what it sounds like. If you are going to sing in ║ │
│║ English, please leave the accent behind. It can ║ │
│║ and has been done countless times. I really ║ │
│║ donÆt mind some accents, but this is a bit too ║ │
│║ much. The music is as clichΘd as possible. The ║ │
│║ artwork on the album cover should be a warning ║ │
│║ to you about that. The song about ôMagic Potionö ║ │
│║ is equally cheesy. I normally like that type of ║ │
│║ cheese, and I donÆt think it is a tragic flaw, ║ │
│║ but non Power Metal fans are going to outright ║ │
│║ kill this album in their reviews. I have seen it ║ │
│║ before and itÆs not going to be pretty. Expect ║ │
│║ it to get ugly soon. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Many of the songs have that ôgallopingö rhythm ║ │
│║ that most Power Metal fans are familiar with. It ║ │
│║ is in between mid tempo and fast tempo, and the ║ │
│║ guitar solos shred as if the song was played ║ │
│║ faster than light. The song ôInto The Futureö ║ │
│║ has one of the most annoying choruses in recent ║ │
│║ memory. The chorus consists of the band counting ║ │
│║ to four and after each number a sentence is sung ║ │
│║ that matches the number as it is repeated a few ║ │
│║ times throughout the song and the lyrics also ║ │
│║ contain the words ôSign Of The Hammerö. I canÆt ║ │
│║ imagine where they got that from. (Sarcasm mode ║ │
│║ on) Honestly, this song is so childish I had to ║ │
│║ grit my teeth and physically restrain myself ║ │
│║ from pressing the skip button. ôGuardians Of The ║ │
│║ Undergroundö is a better song and has the sound ║ │
│║ of MANOWARÆs ôSign Of The Hammerö album, as if ║ │
│║ was recorded the next day. They really managed ║ │
│║ to capture the most classic of all Power Metal ║ │
│║ sounds. I will give them that much credit. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There is a serious side to these power metallers ║ │
│║ from Germany. They do indeed seem to have those ║ │
│║ moments. The Metal suite concept portion of the ║ │
│║ album is by far the most serious part of the ║ │
│║ album. Yes, they still sing about Metal and ║ │
│║ steel but it isnÆt meant to be mocking or self ║ │
│║ derisive. ELVENPATH has a lot of potential they ║ │
│║ need to tap into. I think all they need is to ║ │
│║ sign with a decent sized label and get a ║ │
│║ producer behind them that knows how to steer the ║ │
│║ ship and set rules and guidelines that need to ║ │
│║ be followed to the letter in order to be taken ║ │
│║ seriously as a major force in the Power Metal ║ │
│║ genre. I do believe they have it in them and ║ │
│║ hope for the best. I would like to see the band ║ │
│║ mature and compete with top notch talent. They ║ │
│║ are very talented musicians; they just need help ║ │
│║ in the lyrical department. The production is ║ │
│║ fine and the instruments are all well played. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you like cheesy Heavy Metal music, then you ║ │
│║ might like ELVENPATH. For an unsigned band on a ║ │
│║ self financed release, itÆs pretty good. ║ │
