Edera is a band out of Milan, Italy, who are
very difficult to define musically. They themselves call it art rock and as
they also mention they owe a lot of their inspiration to the pseudo-metal
music played by Queen in the 70's. What stands out in most of the songs is
the often beautiful piano / keyboards and the gothically wailing vocals from
Valerio Valentini. Piano is one of the most beautiful instruments on earth if
done right and this Edera prove to us on several occasions. In between these
occasions the music unfortunately becomes a little dull and insipid which is
mostly a result of the guitars being almost nothing but background music with
somewhat chaotic keyboard melodies doing most of the job of pushing the songs
forward. To improve I think Edera should develop their music in one of these
two directions: either they could focus on having mostly keyboard melodies but
then these have to be a bit more powerful and creative then they are now or
they could make their guitarwork more protruding and more melodic. They also
have a third possibility of going into a more heavy direction but this I
don't think that was the intention with the Edera project. Apart from the
nice piano melodies this album does unfortunately not impress me that much. I
might be in a bad period at the moment or this kind of emotional gothic
rock-metal is just not meant for me...
