When I reviewed the debut album from these
Brazilian guys one or two years ago I mentioned that this band showed a lot of
talent and promised more for the future. Here we go again with their second
album which was released late last year. Mixing flutes, mandolins and violins
with traditional metal instruments Tuatha de Danann has once again made a huge
impression on me. This time the production is also a lot better than it was on
their first effort although it can still be improved. I wonder why no major
label picks this band up because they are sure worthy of a better record deal.
I'm not saying this out of disrespect towards Heavy Metal Rock but I don't
think they can push the band forward the way the bigger metal labels can. The
songs are also more complex and elaborate in their structure this time and
I'm glad to see that they are not standing still in their evolution the way
some bands tend to do. The vocals are mostly clean or choirlike with some
occasional screams and growls. This is one of the best South American bands
I've heard in a long time and if you have fallen in love with bands like
Jethro Tull, Skyclad, Rhapsody and Blind Guardian I urge you to check them
out. Except for the fact that they don't handle the English language with
ease this is a very enjoyable album.
