From the Swedish Abyss Studios the famous
Tägtgren brothers bring us one album after another of very high quality and
this is their latest creation. Skyfire have departed on a journey through
eternity with this debut album. If you only go by the vocals this is a death
metal album but Skyfire have so much more to offer since they have
incorporated more non-traditional elements in their music. Have you ever met a
death metal band with two men standing by the keyboards? Skyfire do have a lot
in common with Children Of Bodom but 1) they don´t have the same bombastic
sound, 2) their growling doesn´t have the same depth and 3) the keyboards are
not just used to enhance the guitars but also to create more complex
classically inspired melodies. While the keyboard arrangements are extremely
complex and often reminding of golden Rhapsody moments the more traditional
instruments are perhaps a little less protruding. Sometimes it feels like the
keyboards are supported by the guitars and drums and not the other way round.
Nonetheless this is one of the best debut albums so far this year and it´s
nice to see that there are still some Swedish bands who come up with a fresh
new sound. Copycats are often becoming boring in the end but Skyfire is
luckily not.
