│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ One thing's for sure. Damnation Angels is ║ │
│║ consistent. Their latest album, The Valiant ║ │
│║ Fire, is simply another chapter in the same ║ │
│║ symphonic power metal book which they started a ║ │
│║ few years back. ║ │
│║ Damnation Angels Band Photo ║ │
│║ Damnation Angels ║ │
│║ If you don't know them, Damnation Angels put so ║ │
│║ much lavish film score orchestration into their ║ │
│║ heavy metal to make Rhapsody Of Fire sound like ║ │
│║ a bunch Middle School hacks. The symphonic layer ║ │
│║ is THE thing, the single element that defines ║ │
│║ the band and their arrangements. Sure they also ║ │
│║ have a deep rhythm section which merely makes ║ │
│║ them sound more bombastic. And they the wall of ║ │
│║ riffage to make things even more epic, with a ║ │
│║ few blistering solos to boot. Pelle K offers ║ │
│║ melodic vocals over top but, except in the ║ │
│║ lighter moments, merely treads water to stay ║ │
│║ above the grand symphonic fray. Yup. They put ║ │
│║ the symphonic into symphonic power metal, and ║ │
│║ don't look back. But I'd be more impressed if I ║ │
│║ knew that this element was performed by a live ║ │
│║ orchestra rather than synthesizers. ║ │
│║ But it all sounds pretty cool and rather ║ │
│║ impressive for the simple reason that, though ║ │
│║ the symphonic layer is larger than life, all ║ │
│║ things blend together quite well. Two good ║ │
│║ examples are The Icarus Syndrome and This Is Who ║ │
│║ We Are where the orchestration combines with the ║ │
│║ guitar line and rhythm section to a seamless ║ │
│║ whole. Alternatively, within Everlasting the ║ │
│║ guitar line and riffage command nearly the ║ │
│║ entire direction of the song. The orchestration ║ │
│║ appears as accent, though a rather large one. ║ │
│║ Within Fire Inside, particularly in the latter ║ │
│║ half, the riffage and orchestration seem play ║ │
│║ off each like tag team wrestlers. Then there's ║ │
│║ The Frontiersman, after some light acoustic ║ │
│║ guitar, it moves almost entirely by the ║ │
│║ symphonic orchestration and the underlying ║ │
│║ drums. But, then, about two-thirds in the guitar ║ │
│║ jump in, first for a subtle solos and then to ║ │
│║ add riffage to the canvas. The Valiant Fire is ║ │
│║ all rather lavish and overwhelming, in the best ║ │
│║ sense. Damnation Angels wants to sound epic and ║ │
│║ grand with their symphonic power and do so with ║ │
│║ nearly effortless ease. And they do it without ║ │
│║ female operatic vocals. Now that's a good thing. ║ │
