│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bleak visions of a distant blackened impending ║ │
│║ calamity upon the worldwide human society have ║ │
│║ been the material for prophecies, conversations ║ │
│║ and chants. It has been no secret that in a kind ║ │
│║ of matter we are slowly destroying ourselves, ║ │
│║ letting hidden forces take over as time marches ║ │
│║ on. However, threats to our existence can be ║ │
│║ from outside planet earth, aliens and maybe ║ │
│║ robotic marauders that will decide to annihilate ║ │
│║ or enslave us due to our inferiority, but who ║ │
│║ knows, it is probably unlikely. Talking about a ║ │
│║ potential dark future to our way of life helped ║ │
│║ me present that new album of the Italian veteran ║ │
│║ Power Metal band, AIRBORN, led vocalist / ║ │
│║ guitarist Alessio Perardi, after a five year ║ │
│║ draught. Naming it ôDark Future Risingö, and ║ │
│║ resigning with their old German label Remedy ║ │
│║ Records, AIRBORN relatively conserved their Euro ║ │
│║ Power Metal affiliation, largely closer to bands ║ │
│║ such as IRON SAVIOR, GAMMA RAY and RUNNING WILD, ║ │
│║ nonetheless, this besmirched envisioning, with a ║ │
│║ trivial stimulus of hope, is possibly the bandÆs ║ │
│║ most ambiguous conception to date. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I have been following AIRBORN since their debut ║ │
│║ album ôAgainst The Worldö of 2001, both it and ║ │
│║ the one afterwards ôD-Generationö virtually ║ │
│║ sounded like off shoots of early IRON SAVIOR ║ │
│║ albums, meaning high octane Teutonic driven ║ │
│║ Power Metal (possibly due the production ║ │
│║ involvement of IRON SAVIORÆs creator Piet ║ │
│║ Sielck). ôLegend Of Madogö, which appeared after ║ │
│║ the bandÆs first hiatus of six years, sent mixed ║ │
│║ messages regarding the bandÆs music, but overtly ║ │
│║ it seemed that Perardi and crew have been going ║ │
│║ through a sort of musical phase when it comes to ║ │
│║ their music, especially with such a fully ║ │
│║ stuffed release of sixteen tracks. Though I ║ │
│║ didnÆt wish to admit it at first, but the newly ║ │
│║ ôDark Future Risingö didnÆt come as a surprise. ║ │
│║ AIRBORN still yearn for the Power Metal that ║ │
│║ made them click in their early years, yet they ║ │
│║ were no foreigners for developing their music ║ │
│║ into a deeper type of solemnity that made the ║ │
│║ material in questions fairly diverse even if not ║ │
│║ exclusively unique. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are the easy going Power Metal crunchers ║ │
│║ speeding through the night like ôReign of the ║ │
│║ Human Raceö, which is a typical AIRBORN song ║ │
│║ that reminded me something of their first two ║ │
│║ albums presenting catchiness in riffing, rhythm ║ │
│║ and chorus. ôSolar Messiahö and the relentless ║ │
│║ opener, ôThey Ariseö, bridged the same ║ │
│║ characteristics, however through its middle ║ │
│║ showed different signs of lead guitar ║ │
│║ productivity and a break away from the bandÆs ║ │
│║ ordinary song structure. ôWild & Freeö and ║ │
│║ ôSword Of Justiceö hailing through the shadows ║ │
│║ with a message of optimism and social reforms, ║ │
│║ melodic and speedy, mainly like a RUNNING WILD ║ │
│║ tracks, quite an impressive tune that could once ║ │
│║ again traced to AIRBORNÆs past. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ On the other hand, as much as I am a traditional ║ │
│║ fan, particularly a follower of the bandÆs ║ │
│║ previous Power fast racing tacklers, I believe ║ │
│║ that the albumÆs greatness derived from shift, ║ │
│║ and you might even call it extensive maturity ║ │
│║ process, that has been going on. ôNitehawkö can ║ │
│║ be easily reckoned as a mini hymn, memorable ║ │
│║ tune but with a measure of depth, slow tempo ║ │
│║ tune with atmospheric lead guitar sections that ║ │
│║ kept me on the lookout, also the bass work ║ │
│║ showed its worth on several occasions. ║ │
│║ ôResurrectionö an astounding epic that had me ║ │
│║ pinned down right from the first listen, ║ │
│║ PerardiÆs unique vocal line, which was fairly ║ │
│║ produced, enriched the riffery with its ║ │
│║ presence. This guy might have a heavy Italian ║ │
│║ accent; however it will be easy to get used to. ║ │
│║ Furthermore, this gem lets you swim through the ║ │
│║ thought patterns with a mix of slight ║ │
│║ storytelling features right before it provides ║ │
│║ you another dreamy chorus that is simply ║ │
│║ breathtaking. That is what suspense is all ║ │
│║ about. Needless to say that the lead fretwork is ║ │
│║ extra amazing. Unknown if this bonus will be a ║ │
│║ part of the original upcoming release, ║ │
│║ nonetheless, the finality of the spiritualistic ║ │
│║ ôThings Of The Pastö, with exception of the ║ │
│║ former track, is by far AIRBORNÆs incomparable ║ │
│║ display of talent and musical creativity that ║ │
│║ somewhat drops their past ventures into a ║ │
│║ childÆs play level. Attributing acoustic ║ │
│║ guitars, blissful keyboards, violins and a kind ║ │
│║ of a Spanish vibe, combined with a melodic Metal ║ │
│║ swing, let a few tears slip here and there, that ║ │
│║ is emotional intensity people. Perardi once ║ │
│║ again proved to be an ultimate vocalist, and ║ │
│║ this song is his best singing work to date. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I guess that additional explanations are ║ │
│║ meaningless in this point, therefore, head on to ║ │
│║ buy this one please, and hurry, even though you ║ │
│║ still have time. ║ │
