Kapel Maister
This somewhat odd Argentinian band had a sound that is easily
described -- neoclassical power metal fronted by not one, but two
true soprano female operatic vocalists.
Does it work?
It's hard to say, since, even though the pieces are in place
(the vocalists are quite talented, and guitarist Gonzalo
Solgarian is truly gifted, in the
Yngwie Malmsteen
mold), the end result is a mixed bag.
Nightwish
has shown that operatic vocals can work in metal, but here it
seems a bit more forced, and the songs are at times too
classical, often little more than a showcase for Solgarian
and the (uncredited?) keyboardist, and at other times really
rather un-metallic.
It's also not clear why both vocalists are necessary, since often
only one sings and one would be hard-pressed to tell the two voices
apart.
So, mark this band as somewhat of an oddity,
certainly of interest to those into the neoclassical side of metal.
