│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I discovered Ukraine's oldest, most respected ║ │
│║ and prestigious Power Metal band W. ANGELÆS ║ │
│║ CONQUEST in 2012 with the compilation ôFew ║ │
│║ Moments of Our Lifeö (2012) consisting of ║ │
│║ different rearranged/Re-recorded tracks from all ║ │
│║ albums with their new dedicated vocalist ║ │
│║ Konstantin "Laars" Naumenko (ex MAJESTY OF ║ │
│║ REVIVAL), that was released in Japan by Quarter ║ │
│║ Century Flame, a division of Warner Music Japan. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I was immediately impressed by the mastery of ║ │
│║ their music inspired by the whole Scandi/Nordic ║ │
│║ Power Metal movement, today W. ANGELÆS CONQUEST ║ │
│║ is about to publish their fifth album ôTaste of ║ │
│║ Lifeö, the stylistic range is the same as ║ │
│║ before, following the direction taken in their ║ │
│║ previous works, keeping the same Epic spirit, ║ │
│║ the band continue with the high standards in ║ │
│║ their virtuosic musicianship, embellished by ║ │
│║ limitless creativity and neo-classical ║ │
│║ arrangements (ôFellowshipö), pushing their ║ │
│║ limits with unexpected structures or complex ║ │
│║ passages but nevertheless keeping a strong ║ │
│║ connection to their specific identity a ║ │
│║ particularity hidden in some colors inherited by ║ │
│║ their native folk music (ôBlooming Dayö). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Without abandoning the proven qualities of their ║ │
│║ past work, like the heterogeneous elements and ║ │
│║ the distinctive use of a wide variety of ║ │
│║ different genre, the Ukrainian band is now ║ │
│║ focused on a Classic Metallic Orthodoxy with the ║ │
│║ mandatory Melody/Speed/Power tryptich and some ║ │
│║ new found intriguing Progressive virtuesà ║ │
│║ Enthusiastic fans of acts like STRATOVARIUS, ║ │
│║ HELLOWEEN, and RISING FORCE will get their ║ │
│║ money's worth with "Taste of Life"! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Renewed in terms of composition "Taste of Life" ║ │
│║ is 52 minutes and ten technically demanding, ║ │
│║ catchy and entertaining songs in the glorious ║ │
│║ key of Scandinavian Power Metal with subtle Prog ║ │
│║ vibrations, the mix of influences is more ║ │
│║ integrated than before, the spectacular fast run ║ │
│║ licks in the Malmsteenian fashion (ôTaste of ║ │
│║ Lifeö) are completed by Ultra Heavy riffage ║ │
│║ similar to the German Melodic Metal (öMirror Of ║ │
│║ Truthö) or sometimes borrowed to the American ║ │
│║ Power Metal style. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ (ôRevolutionö/öSpirit Of Freedomö) àOf course, ║ │
│║ the music isnÆt really innovative, and if the W. ║ │
│║ ANGELÆs CONQUEST team is not trying to reinvent ║ │
│║ the steel, nonetheless those veterans have ║ │
│║ forged something very nicely crafted, in a ║ │
│║ highly professional level, their Steel is ║ │
│║ amazingly sharp & robust and tightly performed ║ │
│║ with the typical fast double bass attack, and ║ │
│║ most of all enhanced by some pretty high pitched ║ │
│║ vocal lines that are perfectly performed and ║ │
│║ well merged with a more ballsy and medium voice ║ │
│║ mode (like in the modern day SONATA ARCTICA's ║ │
│║ song alike ôMartian Godsö). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As a fan of the aforementioned legendary acts, ║ │
│║ it was another great encounter for meàThe year ║ │
│║ 2015, seems once again prolific, with a constant ║ │
│║ flow of monthly release in an high caliber ║ │
│║ categoryà Enjoy. ║ │
