│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ From the small island called Cyprus comes a ║ │
│║ dizzying album under the name Tales Of Tragedy. ║ │
│║ The band Winters Verge has refined his sound and ║ │
│║ now releases eleven new songs to the world to ║ │
│║ give the power metal a very nice boost. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The opening itself is as magic as the music. ║ │
│║ With a fade in brought by a catchy guitar part ║ │
│║ the song World Of Lies comes in. When the vocals ║ │
│║ begin, I know it is something nice. Not too ║ │
│║ high, not to low, but a bit raw and dark, but ║ │
│║ with a bit high pitches where needed. The solo ║ │
│║ has been divided between the keyboard and the ║ │
│║ guitar, which of course reminds of the more ║ │
│║ Finnish power bands. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With the beginning of Old ManÆs Wish I have to ║ │
│║ think about the Swedish band Falconer (music and ║ │
│║ vocal wise). This band from Cyprus has a lot of ║ │
│║ elements from the northern style in his music ║ │
│║ and he is doing that with lovely precision. The ║ │
│║ song For Those Who Are Gone has to be mentioned, ║ │
│║ because this ballad holds the wonderful voice of ║ │
│║ George Charalambous. Only accompanied by an ║ │
│║ acoustic guitar and later on an electric guitar ║ │
│║ rips the victims with a brutal solo where after ║ │
│║ the rest of the instruments join in. This song ║ │
│║ is a great one to sing along with. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It is bringing in a nice atmosphere. But then ║ │
│║ there is another twist in the music of Winters ║ │
│║ Verge. The CaptainÆs Log has a bit of a folk or ║ │
│║ movie music oriented intro, played on keyboard. ║ │
│║ But it is just in the intro and in the break. ║ │
│║ For a more dark song I can point out Dark ║ │
│║ Entries, which has a lot of speed and a bit of ║ │
│║ dark atmosphere within the drums and guitar ║ │
│║ riffs. Reflections Of The Past would have been a ║ │
│║ great finisher of the very nice album, but the ║ │
│║ band put another song behind this one, Curse Of ║ │
│║ Time. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The conclusion of this album is clear. This band ║ │
│║ from Cyprus has combined some really nice power ║ │
│║ metal elements and created their own sound with ║ │
│║ dark and high vocals, fast rhythm parts, with ║ │
│║ clear keyboard/synthesizer sounds and good ║ │
│║ guitar work, especially in the solos. All ║ │
│║ instruments get their share in the songs, even ║ │
│║ the bass guitar (Reflections Of The Past). This ║ │
│║ band has brought a disc which will make a lot of ║ │
│║ people happy. It might not be the most ║ │
│║ refreshing band within the power metal scene, ║ │
│║ but be sure is worth it to be mentioned! ║ │
