Stormlord
Stormlord has been around for a number of years,
forming back in 1991 though their first record didn't
appear until 1997.
A listen to 2001's
At The Gates Of Utopia
reveals the band mainly in the black metal camp
(particularly given the distant raspy vocals),
but with a noticeable power metal influence that
comes to the surface now and again.
The ethereal keyboards (at times reminiscient of
fellow Italians
Opera IX )
give the sound a nice symphonic edge, without
overpowering the guitars.
Niether truly original nor mere copycats, Stormlord
have carved a good career for themselves and are
solid representatives of the symphonic black metal
genre.
