Brazil has managed
to produce two well-known bands named Sepultura and Angra but there is so much
more going on in the huge country. Tuatha de Danann is a very talented new
band consisting of five young musicians. They have mixed lots of different
metal influences into their music and also added a few native elements. The
clean vocals are very melodic and the singer has a nice voice worthy of their
music. Although there are heavier passages on the album most of it is rather
light, more based on melody and harmony than speed and aggression. There are
some very rare growling though. The use of flutes and acoustic guitars helps
to create a very special atmosphere that makes me like this band. The tracks
"Us" and "The Bards Of Infinity" starts off with some beautiful melodic
work. These two songs are also the best on the album. It does have a couple of
negative aspects as well. First of all the production is not perfect and
especially the drums don´t sound too good all the time. Secondly the
songwriting needs more maturity from the band since it is sometimes a little
chaotic and without a real flow. Altogether this is a very interesting and
unusual album though and Tuatha de Danann is a promising young band. I hope
they continue to develop their skills and major labels should take notice of
them very soon.
