│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In some ways, we must have in mind that the first thing ║ │
│║ that a Metalhead gives his attention to on a Metal album is ║ │
│║ the vocals. Yes, the vocals are important because they are ║ │
│║ the first element that any fan will look for. It can make a ║ │
│║ bandÆs musical work go down the tube. And on the Irish ║ │
│║ quintet CONJURING FATE, I must say that their vocalist must ║ │
│║ improve as fast as he can, because he is the only weak ║ │
│║ point of ôValley of Kingsö, their first album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Their musical style is an energetic, heavy and strong form ║ │
│║ of traditional Heavy Metal/Power Metal with inspiration on ║ │
│║ the 80s. No, thereÆs nothing bad at all with their musical ║ │
│║ work, because the band has personality, besides this style ║ │
│║ is really eroded by the use and by the time. Their music is ║ │
│║ really catchy, done with fine melodies and charming ║ │
│║ choruses. But the vocals need to improve a bit more, ║ │
│║ because even not being as good as they could be, they ║ │
│║ arenÆt as aggressive as their music needs. And by the Metal ║ │
│║ gods, IÆm not asking to expel Tommy from the band, because ║ │
│║ his voice is good, but needs to evolve a bit more in terms ║ │
│║ of aggressiveness. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The sound quality is another point that could be better. Of ║ │
│║ course itÆs not bad, but it could have be done with more ║ │
│║ care, because the rawness in the search for the feeling of ║ │
│║ the 80s made the tunes from the instruments sound poor, ║ │
│║ without that heavy weight and clean aesthetics that they ║ │
│║ deserve. Their musical work deserves a great sound quality, ║ │
│║ with better tunes and the right volume. Once more: if you ║ │
│║ want something in the way of the 80s, a good producer can ║ │
│║ be Joel Grind from TOXIC HOLOCAUST, because he knows how to ║ │
│║ build an organic sound with a modern sound quality. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Musically, they are great. All their songs are fine pieces ║ │
│║ of Metal, done with heart and energy. But ôOur Darkest ║ │
│║ Daysö and ôMarching Deadö with their fine melodies and ║ │
│║ guitars (both presenting very good tempos and very good ║ │
│║ energetic arrangements), the savage and nasty ║ │
│║ aggressiveness of ôDr. Frankensteinö (a fine work from bass ║ │
│║ guitar and drums, and how a better sound quality could have ║ │
│║ made this song great), the fine NWOBHM inspiration on the ║ │
│║ melodies of ôA Primal Desireö and on ôTrust No Oneö, and ║ │
│║ the harsh aggressiveness tempered with melodies on ║ │
│║ ôApocalypseö can be pointed as their finest moments. But we ║ │
│║ have two bonus tracks, ôMirror Mirrorö and ôBackwoods ║ │
│║ Witchö, both very good and filled with fine guitar riffs. ║ │
│║ On all tracks, the vocals are regular, but if Tommy had ║ │
│║ used more aggressiveness and better tunes (that he has, we ║ │
│║ can feel them in some moments), the result would be way ║ │
│║ better than what we hear on ôValley of Shadowsö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Guys, I believe in your work, you have guts and potential. ║ │
│║ Then, a better production, a special care with vocal tunes ║ │
│║ will do miracles. And IÆll be waiting to review it, be sure ║ │
│║ of that! In reality, I want to do that! ║ │
