│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Put a definite article in front of Clairvoyants ║ │
│║ and you have one of the most respected Iron ║ │
│║ Maiden tribute bands in the European theater. ║ │
│║ Word To The Wise is Clairvoyants attempt to come ║ │
│║ out from that shadow and perform their own ║ │
│║ material. The result is the fulfillment of the ║ │
│║ old adage, 'Imitation is the best form of ║ │
│║ flattery.' Fans of Maiden and all things NWOBHM ║ │
│║ will find the disc a pleasing rendition of that ║ │
│║ classic genre with a mighty nod to one of it's ║ │
│║ greats. In other words, Clairvoyants is still ║ │
│║ paying tribute; they're just doing it with their ║ │
│║ own songs in their own style and doing it very ║ │
│║ well. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ You need not fear: Clairvoyants will not ║ │
│║ supplant Iron Maiden's role in heavy metal's ║ │
│║ past and present history. However, they are very ║ │
│║ very good and I hear echoes of Maiden in their ║ │
│║ music. Where it would be easy to steal riffs or ║ │
│║ melodies, Clairvoyants's compositions are quite ║ │
│║ original and effective. 'Choose Of The Truth,' ║ │
│║ Journey Through The Stars,' 'The Pain Of Sight' ║ │
│║ and 'Back To My Dreams' are highly competent and ║ │
│║ satisfying pieces of classic melodic heavy ║ │
│║ metal. Clairvoyants expertly delivers the twin ║ │
│║ guitar attack throughout. Even though it's ║ │
│║ natural to make comparisons, I don't hear ║ │
│║ Dickinson in Gab Bernasconi's vocals; I hear his ║ │
│║ range and passion, but I don't think Bernasconi ║ │
│║ sounds like Bruce at all. Actually, I feel he ║ │
│║ sounds better than Bruce on their cover ║ │
│║ 'Hallowed Be Thy Name.' (I wonder if yells ║ │
│║ 'Scream for me ...' at their IM shows.) ║ │
│║ Bernasconi establishes himself on the title ║ │
│║ track, 'Word To The Wise,' as does the rest of ║ │
│║ the band. This song displays Clairvoyants's ║ │
│║ mastery of their genre and their impressive ║ │
│║ technical skills. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Clairvoyants's Word To The Wise is a noble and ║ │
│║ impressive work of melodic heavy metal in the ║ │
│║ grand NWOBHM style. Sure, their foundation is in ║ │
│║ their Iron Maiden tribute work. Yet, this ║ │
│║ platter contains well crafted and highly ║ │
│║ entertaining original material which will not ║ │
│║ have you immediately saying, 'They just sound ║ │
│║ like Maiden.' In the end, this would be real ║ │
│║ success. Very recommended. ║ │
