│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Power metal fans should know about Concerto ║ │
│║ Moon, who have been around since 1996, as the ║ │
│║ three remaining band members from Kagawa, Japan ║ │
│║ form one of the genreÆs most active bands in ║ │
│║ terms of releases. We can also count four live ║ │
│║ records, two EPs and two compilations among ║ │
│║ their vast and continuously growing discography. ║ │
│║ "Savior Never Cry" is a representative example ║ │
│║ of the band's powerful sound and is actually ║ │
│║ more professional and serious from an ║ │
│║ instrumental and lyrical point of view than the ║ │
│║ band name and album title might suggest. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The opener and title track makes quite clear ║ │
│║ what this band is about. They take no prisoners ║ │
│║ and offer a melodic, up-tempo track that should ║ │
│║ immediately appeal to fans of early Edguy or ║ │
│║ HammerFall, though Concerto Moon may have a few ║ │
│║ more edges. While the band includes a ║ │
│║ neoclassical shredding solo Timo Tolkki would be ║ │
│║ proud of and mixes an epic feeling with a ║ │
│║ massive dose of energy, the most outstanding ║ │
│║ thing about this band is probably the new ║ │
│║ vocalist. After Ozaki Takao (who sung on the ║ │
│║ bandÆs first three albums) and Inoue Takashi ║ │
│║ (who was present on albums four to eight), the ║ │
│║ volatile band line-up changed again, and new ║ │
│║ powerhouse singer Kuze Atsushi joined the band. ║ │
│║ He has a very powerful voice that compares ║ │
│║ favorably to the harder singers of the power ║ │
│║ metal genre like Tim ôRipperö Owens, Jorn Lande, ║ │
│║ or Jon Oliva. Sometimes he screams more than he ║ │
│║ sings, but this unrestrained energy fits well to ║ │
│║ the music, and it makes him sound rather unique. ║ │
│║ ThatÆs what I call power metal with power! But ║ │
│║ these vocals are definitely a make-it or break- ║ │
│║ it element. You either really like the voice, or ║ │
│║ you may have some serious problems to really dig ║ │
│║ this band. Choose your camp. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band also has its softer side, of course. ║ │
│║ While the first two songs sound like a perfect ║ │
│║ mixture of American and European power metal, ║ │
│║ the third track ôThe Shining Light Of The Moonö ║ │
│║ shows the bandÆs true origins. This song is a ║ │
│║ lot more theatrical, and offers a diversified ║ │
│║ and emotional vocal performance. The verses ║ │
│║ remain more aggressive, and the powerhouse ║ │
│║ drumming is even present in the chorus, but the ║ │
│║ opening and the chorus itself are much more ║ │
│║ melodic andàkitschy. These elements are ║ │
│║ something I have often heard in Japanese music, ║ │
│║ and this mixture works very well from a ║ │
│║ commercial point of view over there. Aggressive ║ │
│║ sections meet almost childish melodies, and the ║ │
│║ vocals driven by emotions and are quite dramatic ║ │
│║ and often overdone. This song could be the title ║ │
│║ song of a new anime series, but it could also be ║ │
│║ played in a Japanese metal pub. If you like ║ │
│║ bands such as X Japan, you will adore this song, ║ │
│║ almost without a doubt. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Throughout the entire album, the band mixes ║ │
│║ great melodies and stunning guitar solos with a ║ │
│║ few harder riffs and fairly straightforward ║ │
│║ songwriting with truly emotional and unique ║ │
│║ vocals. Even the bonus track, ôSlash The ║ │
│║ Lightsö, takes no prisoners and shows all of the ║ │
│║ aforementioned elements in one single killer ║ │
│║ anthem. Other bands would normally be proud to ║ │
│║ have this kind of song on their regular release, ║ │
│║ but Concerto MoonÆs high quality release allows ║ │
│║ them to offer this strong piece of music as a ║ │
│║ bonus song only. If you feel some power metal ║ │
│║ bands are recently lacking power but you are ║ │
│║ still a fan of charming melodies, a few epic ║ │
│║ moments, fast shredding solos, powerful ║ │
│║ drumming, and all the other traditional ║ │
│║ trademarks, this band is for you. Keep your seat ║ │
│║ belt fasten and please enjoy your rollercoaster ║ │
│║ ride! ║ │
