The French band Final
Tragedy was formed in 1996 in the ashes of a previous band called Etheric Soul
which traces back to 1989. While Etheric Soul began as a techno thrash metal
band Final Tragedy has turned into a very nice progressive metal band
featuring wonderful groovy guitar work from Jean-Luc Millot and beautiful
dramatic female vocals from Delphine Cochand. This album was originally meant
to be released by the Canadian label Frowz Productions but since they went
bankrupt in 2001 they finally released it themselves in December that year.
Something that puzzles me is why no labels sign these bands like Final Tragedy
who are a lot better than many of the established acts. French metal isn't
that strong yet but there are luckily a few bright stars shining even there.
This album is a beautiful mix of passionate, atmospheric, emotional and heavy
music and is one of the most interesting albums I've ever heard from an
unsigned band. Some metal fans might find it a little too soft but I think it
is close to perfect with one single exception. They recorded this album at
their home studio and therefore the production could have been a little
better. The vocals and piano sounds very good but the guitars could have been
in need of some professional assistance. A very fine album from a very fine
band though!
