review by Alex "Costa Rican Fan" Ramirez___   

What else can you ask for? Power metal at its best!

From Campana, Argentina comes the power metal force of DAGORLAD.  This band was formed in 2004, featuring an ensemble of great musicians. They quickly make a name for themselves and revitalized the metal scene in their province.

Their music is powerful and filled with melody. A prime example of what can be achieved through hard work and determination. All the elements to create a successful band are here catchy riffs, great vocals, and epic lyrics. What else can you ask for? Power metal at its best!

Tracks:

“This The Glorious Day”

The opening chapter of this production, a track that is energetic and powerful.   Like a melodic tornado coming for you.  My first impression is that they have a couple of excellent guitarists. Who complemented their power and speed with very technical composition. The drum work is quite impressive, with a machine-gun-like double bass and insane speed. Keyboards add some depth and texture to the songs as well.

“Day And Shadows”

Title song. This is a very interesting song because of the variety of styles that collide in here. The arrangements of the song are headed towards a more progressive style.  But still all the kinetic energy and passion remain.

There is a vocal duet in this song; it’s actually is a quite interesting combination, With Carlos Spiazzi providing some graspy vocals.

 

 

“In The Enemy-s Search”

A track filled with skillful solos and harmonic choruses. 

“Unanswered”

This song it’s an instant classic. Great melody and powerful vocal performance.

“On The Horizon”

This is another epic track that takes us to the battlefield. The soundtrack for the war between good and evil.  This is my favorite track and the most memorable.

As in the other songs the guitar virtuosity is just mesmerizing. The solo duel is one of the best I’ve heard.  As well as the use of keyboards that perfectly complements the epic atmosphere.

Vocals are very good performed by Neri Perez. He has a strong, charismatic voice and utilizes it excellently, bursting out with confidence and passion. Many Latin-American power metal vocalists sing only looking for the high notes , And that-s quite annoying. But Neri has a voice that is powerful, melodic and extremely enjoyable.

 

The band closes this album with an extra tack. A Spanish version of their song “Unanswered”. I have always wondered why Spanish-speaking bands never include versions of their songs in their mother tongue. It adds a little extra and results somehow exotic and refreshing. Especially when you have a 5 song disk.

I can honestly say that the sound of this band combines the necessary speed, heaviness, aggression, and melody to make any metal head go ballistic.

They are highly recommendable for all power metal fans, definitively one of the best in the region. The entire album can be heard on their myspace site. And since it’s an independent production the band is providing a link to download the disk with artwork included.
