│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While the traditions of melodic heavy and power ║ │
│║ metal still form the foundation of AoA's music, ║ │
│║ they've definitely bumped up the progressive ║ │
│║ metal elements. The difference is that the band ║ │
│║ is not weirdly technical, trying to both impress ║ │
│║ and confuse their listener. The structure of the ║ │
│║ songs don't sacrifice melody and groove or ║ │
│║ giving you solid heavy/power metal, while they ║ │
│║ toss in their twists and turns. Under The Sun ║ │
│║ and Broken Bridges, two early songs are prime ║ │
│║ examples of this; the latter having an almost ║ │
│║ pop accessibility in the midst of the prog ║ │
│║ power.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Alternatively, Age of Artemis can go for simple ║ │
│║ melodic metal as with the anthem Hunger and ║ │
│║ Shame, where the prog nuances are nearly ║ │
│║ lacking. Childhood takes a similar path, less ║ │
│║ prog wonkery, more melodic metal groove and ║ │
│║ pedestrian accessibility thanks to the sweet ║ │
│║ refrain. Then immediately following, Melted in ║ │
│║ Charisma is heavy and sharp metal, with this ║ │
│║ crazy feeling of metal fusion lead by the bass ║ │
│║ line after the mid point. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For something completely different, there's Your ║ │
│║ Smile, a light and pleasant number featuring ║ │
│║ acoustic and vocalist Alφrio Netto at his ║ │
│║ smoothest. It reminds more AOR melodic rock. New ║ │
│║ Revolution adds a symphonic layer to the mix, ║ │
│║ adding depth to the power metal, yet without ║ │
│║ making the some Rhapsody of Fire bombastic. It's ║ │
│║ also another song where, at the midpoint, a ║ │
│║ metal fusion breakdown ensues, led first by bass ║ │
│║ and piano, then followed a skillful, nearly ║ │
│║ understated guitar solo. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are more tricks up their sleeves with the ║ │
│║ closing piece Winding Road. AoA combines light ║ │
│║ orchestration, acoustic guitar, piano, and a ║ │
│║ gentle vocal arrangement to create some more of ║ │
│║ that AOR melodic metal. Age of Artemis's breadth ║ │
│║ and depth of composition and musicianship are ║ │
│║ likely the band's greatest strengths. That, and ║ │
│║ Alφrio Netto's vocals and the vocal arrangements ║ │
│║ in general. They better not lose this guy to ║ │
│║ another band. The Waking Hour is quite creative, ║ │
│║ appealing, and entertaining melodic progressive ║ │
│║ power metal with more than a few interesting ║ │
│║ twists, and easily recommended. ║ │
