│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Stockholm-based Metalite, and this new high ║ │
│║ energy quintet makes music will appeal to fans ║ │
│║ of Amaranthe, Beyond the Black, and just about ║ │
│║ any other Female Fronted Modern Metal band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Metalite was founded in 2015 by lead singer Emma ║ │
│║ Bensing and guitarist Edwin Premberg. Heroes in ║ │
│║ Time is packed with upbeat rhythms and sing- ║ │
│║ along choruses, stellar guitar work, manic ║ │
│║ double bass drums, booming bass, and driving ║ │
│║ keyboards. As tight as the music is, the true ║ │
│║ star of this band is singer Emma Bensing. Her ║ │
│║ voice is strong and clear, and her delivery is ║ │
│║ passionate and fierce. The guitar heroics of ║ │
│║ Premberg and Robert ╓rnesved ae a close second, ║ │
│║ and they are not afraid to be guitar heroes when ║ │
│║ needed. Couple great vocals and excellent ║ │
│║ musicianship with the massive production talent ║ │
│║ of Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe) ║ │
│║ and you get one of the stronger Melodic Metal ║ │
│║ releases of the year. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôAfterlifeö kicks off the release in impressive ║ │
│║ style û keys leading into guitars and upbeat ║ │
│║ drums û summing up MetaliteÆs music in a tidy ║ │
│║ little package. The high energy anthems and ║ │
│║ positive lyrics continue through ôPurpose of ║ │
│║ Lifeö û a track built on sweeping choruses and ║ │
│║ intense guitars. After these two openers, ║ │
│║ comparisons to Amaranthe are inevitable. The ║ │
│║ synths and keys, coupled with the intense ║ │
│║ rhythms and general shiny, upbeat tempos are a ║ │
│║ dead ringer, although Bensing sings with a ║ │
│║ little more grit and bite than AmarantheÆs Elise ║ │
│║ Ryd, and she is the sole vocalist. ôNightmareö ║ │
│║ somehow manages to kick the energy level even ║ │
│║ higher, with all musicians turning it up to the ║ │
│║ proverbial ô11,ö and the heavier ôThe Hunterö ║ │
│║ drops into a more chunky Progressive/Power Metal ║ │
│║ groove thanks to strong teamwork by MajdÆs bass ║ │
│║ and LarssonÆs drums. The toe-tapping title track ║ │
│║ gallops along driven by the drums, but strong ║ │
│║ harmony vocals and slick synths play a vital ║ │
│║ role. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band drops the tempo, but just a little, on ║ │
│║ the more fluid and flowing ôPower of Metalö û a ║ │
│║ track that varies in tempo and tone enough to ║ │
│║ let BensingÆs voice truly shine. Choppy riffs ║ │
│║ and progressive timing patterns let the guitars ║ │
│║ take over the spotlight during ôOver and Done.ö ║ │
│║ ôThe Light Of Orionö places vocals in the center ║ │
│║ as the keys and rhythm guitars back off nicely ║ │
│║ during the verses allowing voice, drums, and ║ │
│║ bass to dominate û the extended guitar break ║ │
│║ here is excellent. The power ballad ôIn The ║ │
│║ Middle of the Nightö must be considered as one ║ │
│║ of the best vocal performances of 2017 û Bensing ║ │
│║ is equally at home singing in front of a simple ║ │
│║ keyboard line as she is in front of the band ║ │
│║ cranked up to the max. ôBlack Horse Riderö again ║ │
│║ gallops off to the power metal zone, bringing ║ │
│║ tales of the Templars and Crusades to life. ôThe ║ │
│║ Great Force Within Usö wraps the release and ║ │
│║ once again hits all the high points û emotional ║ │
│║ vocals, intense drums and bass, slick guitars ║ │
│║ with big hooks, and positive, upbeat lyrics. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ HansenÆs crisp production also bolster the ║ │
│║ comparisons to Amaranthe, but Metalite stands ║ │
│║ apart thanks to stronger songwriting skills (and ║ │
│║ a better command of the English language) and ║ │
│║ less reliance on the 3-vocalist crutch. If there ║ │
│║ is a weakness it is a simple one û every song ║ │
│║ but one is intense and fast-paced, so the ║ │
│║ listener may be a bit worn out by the time they ║ │
│║ reach the finish line. Another ballad, or at ║ │
│║ least a slower tempo track or two, would do ║ │
│║ wonders to showcase the breadth of talent across ║ │
│║ the band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ MetaliteÆs Heroes In Time is a Melodic Metal ║ │
│║ barn-burner of an album. The core musicians are ║ │
│║ all amazingly talented and work well together, ║ │
│║ and BensingÆs vocals are nothing short of ║ │
│║ spectacular. Upbeat songs, positive words, and ║ │
│║ top-notch production values make MetaliteÆs ║ │
│║ debut highly recommended! ║ │
