│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Neo-Classical Power Metal releases are a dime a ║ │
│║ dozen these days and more often than not they ║ │
│║ are interchangeable with each other and a ║ │
│║ majority of them are disappointments. With this ║ │
│║ knowledge, I must admit I was a little hesitant ║ │
│║ before listening to ARMAGEDDON. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well, I can gladly say that my hesitation was ║ │
│║ unnecessary and I was pleasantly surprised by ║ │
│║ what LEONARDO had to offer. The Neo-Classical ║ │
│║ vibe is in full-swing on this album and I could ║ │
│║ definitely hear inspiration from guys like ║ │
│║ YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, RHAPSODY OF FIRE and ║ │
│║ STRATOVARIUS. The guitar playing throughout the ║ │
│║ album borders on the virtuoso and IVAN D MILCIC ║ │
│║ could just well be one of the frontrunners of a ║ │
│║ new generation of classically inspired shred ║ │
│║ masters. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The fact that he also does the lead vocals on ║ │
│║ the album really is quite amazing, even though ║ │
│║ sometimes his thick accent is a little much for ║ │
│║ me personally (The band is from Serbia to be ║ │
│║ fair) for the most part I really canÆt fault his ║ │
│║ vocal output. Maybe if anything his lower ║ │
│║ register isnÆt quite as good as his high ║ │
│║ register, which is something that is really ║ │
│║ noticeable on the song I STILL BELIEVE. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I really enjoyed the mega-ballad I CANÆT LIVE ║ │
│║ WITHOUT YOU which made me feel like getting my ║ │
│║ lighter out of my pocket and waving it around. ║ │
│║ Songs like SHELTER IN THE NIGHT, DOGS OF WAR and ║ │
│║ SAVE ME are almost equals to some of the best ║ │
│║ music the genre has to offer, and one can only ║ │
│║ imagine the potential this entails when you ║ │
│║ consider that this is only LEONARDOÆS second ║ │
│║ album. I will be keeping an eye on these guys as ║ │
│║ I feel that with a bit more experience they ║ │
│║ could just well become one of the future leaders ║ │
│║ of the Neo-Classic Power Metal movement. I ║ │
│║ recommend you do the same. ║ │
