│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The title for New York metal band Zandelle's ║ │
│║ latest and fifth long-player, Perseverance is ║ │
│║ rather appropriate. Appropriate for any band ║ │
│║ still trying to play classic heavy power metal, ║ │
│║ yet needing to duke it out in the metal ║ │
│║ underground to survive. More specifically, for ║ │
│║ Zandelle it's been nearly twenty years flying ║ │
│║ under the radar, and this is their first album ║ │
│║ of new material in six years. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But Perseverance finds the band fine formm, ║ │
│║ still delivering their version of American power ║ │
│║ metal. And power metal it is as most every song ║ │
│║ here moves at a brisk pace. Yet there are some ║ │
│║ songs that moderate the tempo like Beyond The ║ │
│║ Point, Innocence Lost, or the more notable ║ │
│║ Avenger of the Fallen, which has a momentum ║ │
│║ building progression that gives it a majestic ║ │
│║ feeling. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Something of additional interest is the enhanced ║ │
│║ keyboard use throughout the album. It can be ║ │
│║ something simple like the bright piano sound at ║ │
│║ the start of Revengeance. Or there's the ║ │
│║ classical piano feel that informs the first ║ │
│║ third of the opening instrumental, Resurgence. ║ │
│║ Sometimes the synths seem just a tad too quirky ║ │
│║ for heavy metal as at the start and within ║ │
│║ Beyond The Point. Another time, as in the center ║ │
│║ of End Game, the keys solo in a subdued ║ │
│║ symphonic sense. Also interesting to that song ║ │
│║ and that segue is the following short, yet fine, ║ │
│║ bass solo, then guitar, synths once more, and a ║ │
│║ flurry of drums to finish the moment. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Additionally, throughout, there's plenty of ║ │
│║ guitar solos, more crisp and stylized, then ║ │
│║ fierce, and often paired with keyboards once ║ │
│║ more as within Unending Fortitude, by example. ║ │
│║ This song is also an example of another ║ │
│║ significant characteristic of Zandelle: ║ │
│║ harmonious vocal arrangements, and every player ║ │
│║ in the band adds to the same. Something not all ║ │
│║ that common in heavy metal. However, it did ║ │
│║ seem, at times, George Tsalikis' vocals were a ║ │
│║ bit muted in the mix. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All in all, the result is plain. Perseverance is ║ │
│║ a fine return to form for Zandelle, offering ║ │
│║ both interesting and entertaining American power ║ │
│║ metal. Recommended. ║ │
