REVIEW: Morifade - Imaginarium Hammerheart Records, 2002
7.5/10
Morifade - Imaginarium - cover art There are four types of bands: first the top of the mountain bands who have found a real original sound that makes them leaders in the musical evolution, second the bands who have failed to find a unique sound but still make music of high quality, third bands who only fit as background music and last but also least the bands who make utter crap. The young Swedes of Morifade are lucky to find themselves in the second group. They have all the trademarks of a typical power metal band - sharp riffs, the right amount of classical and neo-classical influences and catchy choruses as well as high pitched vocals. The band is actually celebrating its tenth year in existence this year (2002) but it is only now that they have been given the chance to make a real career on the metal scene since they have signed with the Dutch Hammerheart Records after having left their former label Loud 'n' Proud Records, a label that has done nothing but holding back the bands, not on purpose but because of financial problems. If you know this band from before you may want to know that they have now been joined by two new members namely the guitarist Robin Arnell (ex-Fatal Glory) and keyboard player Fredrik Eriksson (ex-Tad Morose) who both seem to fit in very well with the rest of the band. Hammerheart usually don't sign power metal bands but this is a quality band that should appeal to most fans of the genre. Stand-out tracks: "Rising Higher", "Nevermore", "Dark Images".
