│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ When talking about symphonic metal or ║ │
│║ progressive symphonic metal or neo-classical ║ │
│║ epic metal ... or whatever, I donÆt go cutting ║ │
│║ my wrists. The whole genre of ôsymphonic metalö ║ │
│║ is actually quite worn-out these days, being ║ │
│║ eaten from inside to outside for quite some ║ │
│║ time. But every now and then something ║ │
│║ interesting comes along and in my opinion ║ │
│║ FinlandÆs symphonic metal masters Bride ║ │
│║ AdornedÆs debut full-length album titled BLESSED ║ │
│║ STILLNESS? has been blessed by an extra ║ │
│║ truckload of exciting and fascinating musical ║ │
│║ elements. Those elements raise this particular ║ │
│║ release up to the forefront of the above- ║ │
│║ mentioned genre(s). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I became familiar with Bride Adorned for the ║ │
│║ first time when I heard the bandÆs 2000 demo ║ │
│║ entitled THE GREY EMINENCE. Bride AdornedÆs ║ │
│║ sound has been said to contain certain ║ │
│║ components of Rhapsody, Therion and even Yngwie ║ │
│║ Malmsteen and the more carefully you listen to ║ │
│║ them, the more you can actually hear those ║ │
│║ comparisons. Probably the Italian symphonic ║ │
│║ Power Metal ┤messiahs┤ Rhapsody could be ║ │
│║ considered as the nearest comparison to Bride ║ │
│║ Adorned because of their strong use of choirs ║ │
│║ (thereÆs LOTS of them on this release) and the ║ │
│║ progressive elements in their sound. Bride ║ │
│║ Adorned has a damn impressive sense for creating ║ │
│║ strong musical arrangements and prove to be true ║ │
│║ masters at creating pompous atmospheres. They ║ │
│║ dive for this big and massive sound, which has ║ │
│║ this strange tendency to sound ... sincere, even ║ │
│║ devout? DonÆt worry though, this isnÆt Christian ║ │
│║ metal.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Songs like the extremely harmonious and ║ │
│║ beautiful ôNexus Divinaö and the Malmsteenû ║ │
│║ inspired ôOtherwordlyö with its strong choirs, ║ │
│║ atmospheres and varied tempos, show clearly what ║ │
│║ high-quality symphonic and progressive metal ║ │
│║ these guys make. I bet with this high caliber ║ │
│║ stuff we can only expect great things for Bride ║ │
│║ Adorned in the future. I would be fool if I lied ║ │
│║ to you about this. ║ │
