│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Hailing from Argentina, Preludio Ancestral have ║ │
│║ roots that go back to 2005 û although the only ║ │
│║ member still associated with those early days is ║ │
│║ guitarist Leonardo Gatti. Releasing a demo, two ║ │
│║ EPÆs, and three full-lengths in Spanish, ║ │
│║ Oblivion represents a fresh lineup as well as ║ │
│║ their first English-sung effort û signing with ║ │
│║ Fighter Records in the hopes of bringing their ║ │
│║ brand of symphonic-oriented power/heavy metal to ║ │
│║ a wider international audience. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ When looking at the credits you might be taken ║ │
│║ aback at the numerous vocalists that appear ║ │
│║ throughout the ten tracks û outside of main ║ │
│║ singer Alessio Perardi, there are seven other ║ │
│║ singers that grace the album, ensuring a diverse ║ │
│║ approach if not anything else. Overall you get ║ │
│║ everything from solid mid-range deliveries for ║ │
│║ ôDust Worldö to Timo Kotipelto-like high octane ║ │
│║ action on the similarly Stratovarius-like power ║ │
│║ charge that is ôKing of Silenceö, very ║ │
│║ convincing as well. Leonardo and keyboardist ║ │
│║ Gabliels Crisafulli ably thrust and volley ║ │
│║ between uplifting main riff/power chord duties ║ │
│║ and their shredding/classical break flashes, a ║ │
│║ prominent component to ideal appeal within this ║ │
│║ sub-genre. ôFear of Fallingö has that head- ║ │
│║ scratching transition that takes an otherwise ║ │
│║ Iron Savior-oriented cut and places an 80Æs ║ │
│║ semi-rap meets ôDirty Laundryö/Don Henley-ish ║ │
│║ refrain out of nowhere û a game changer that may ║ │
│║ make some smile while others run for exits. And ║ │
│║ of course, a power metal record wouldnÆt be ║ │
│║ complete without an anthem to the genre we know ║ │
│║ and love û cue ôReady to Rockö for that check ║ │
│║ mark. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ What puzzles this scribe the most is the ║ │
│║ direction Preludio Ancestral want to go in from ║ │
│║ track to track. The keyboard play can be ║ │
│║ powerful one minute, then very techno or dance- ║ │
│║ oriented the next. The computer/technology ║ │
│║ effects can be overused and abused û check out ║ │
│║ closer ôMetal Wallsö for ways to drown out the ║ │
│║ vocals and kill momentum despite the swirling ║ │
│║ groove and keyboard layers. Add in production ║ │
│║ values that lack a biting guitar tone and make ║ │
│║ everything appear distant in a cave and it makes ║ │
│║ Oblivion a tougher go to record when needing to ║ │
│║ satiate your symphonic power metal thirst. ║ │
│║ Hopefully theyÆll be able to reign in those ║ │
│║ ideas next time, as they have the proper ║ │
│║ Stratovarius/Labyrinth meets heavy metal talent ║ │
│║ on their side. ║ │
