Yet another boring release from the europower metal scene I
thought at first about this album. I'm not a big fan of power metal in
general and this is definitely not one of my favourite albums but Domine was
at least a small positive surprise to me. As many others of the new Italian
bands like Power Symphony and Rhapsody they are very much inspired by
classical music like Beethoven and Mozart. They have also found musical
inspiration in works by Manowar, Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore and others. Musically
this album is pretty much straight forward power metal with classic genre
vocals. It has got some short beautiful symphonic passages as well as heavier
melodic ones but other than that I find this album to get rather boring in the
end (as I do with most power metal albums...). However, if you are a power
metal fan this might be something worth listening to. Sometimes the vocals
sound almost like Iced Earth but the music of Domine is more powerful and
vivid, spiced with orchestral arrangements. The lyrics are pretty typical
phantasy writings and inspired by the works of Michael Moorcock.
Dragonlords is one of the better power metal releases during the last
few years and was recorded at New Sin Audio Design, Loria by Louis Stefanini
with final mastering at Nagravity Studio - Firenze - by Mary
Nulricati.
