│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album is the first one I heard from this ║ │
│║ band. After reading comparisons between Rough ║ │
│║ Silk and Savatage (one of my favourite bands) I ║ │
│║ had to check this band out, but there werenÆt ║ │
│║ any reviews about their albums here in this ║ │
│║ site, and thatÆs why I am writing their first ║ │
│║ one, as such a good band should not be ║ │
│║ overlooked. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I am not very keen on cheesy generic melodic ║ │
│║ metal, and I feared Rough Silk could be just one ║ │
│║ more of the tons of this kind out there. ║ │
│║ Hopefully, I was completely wrong. They have ║ │
│║ much more to offer than plain up tempo drumming ║ │
│║ and loud shrieks. The songs on the album really ║ │
│║ differ from each other, and the whole release ║ │
│║ was made a way it really sounds better when ║ │
│║ listened to in the correct order, so you wonÆt ║ │
│║ find yourself skipping tracks on this one. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The musicians are talented, especially the ║ │
│║ vocalist, who shows quite a good range and ║ │
│║ really can suit his voice to each song. A great ║ │
│║ part of the songs feelings are due to him, ║ │
│║ though the other musicians also do a very good ║ │
│║ work. There isnÆt a lot of repetition as could ║ │
│║ be expected from a melodic metal band, actually, ║ │
│║ the songs tend to be long and sometimes complex. ║ │
│║ You wonÆt find any light speed guitar solos ║ │
│║ here. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Though I must agree they can be compared to ║ │
│║ Savatage, it is clear they have their own sound, ║ │
│║ this is not a Savatage rip off. Despite of it, ║ │
│║ the quality of the songwriting can be compared ║ │
│║ to those of the later Savatage albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Any fan of Savatage should check this album out, ║ │
│║ just as any fan of good power/melodic metal ║ │
│║ should. Keep in mind that the album is much ║ │
│║ better when listened from the beginning to the ║ │
│║ end. This band deserves a chance, I will be sure ║ │
│║ to go after more of their albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highlights: ôThe Endö, ôCircle of Painö, ôàAnd ║ │
│║ The Winds Screams In Angerö, ôThe Mysterious ║ │
│║ Boot Hill Grave Inscriptionö. ║ │
