Cydonia is a new power metal band from Italy but they do not
really sound new since their music is very similar to the other bands from
their homeland - Labyrinth, Vision Divine, Athena... - with traditional power
metal backed up with keyboards. Sometimes it sounds great but it also gets
boring rather quickly even though Dan Keying has a very good power metal
voice. Perhaps one should not be surprised when the music reminds of Labyrinth
since both Olaf Thorsen and Matt Stanciou is in Cydonia as well. Lyrically
this is a very amusing album with a concept story around a civilization on
Mars that has to leave the planet because of wars and environmental issues,
thus settling on the Earth instead. The debut album from Cydonia do how a few
bright spots but they are mostly the intros of the songs and after that it
sounds like any other Italian or European power metal band. Perhaps Dan Keying
has the voice of Michael Kiske but that doesn“t do much to impress me. It is
nice to have a good voice but that is not
everything.
