Beautiful Sin
This new power metal band has major-league pedigree,
starting with well-travelled drummer (and band founder)
Uli Kusch (next to Jörg Michael, the most
well-travelled German metal drummer ever)
and also featuring guys with ties to bands
such as
Pagan's Mind,
Narnia, and
Masterplan.
Style-wise, this isn't a dramatic departure for any of the
members, but on the other hand it's not pure prog metal
like Pagan's Mind, nor is it Euro power metal like several of
Kusch's past works.
The Unexpected is best described as melodic metal (not
keyboard-dominated, though they are present) with some hard rock
tendencies as well as an occasional heavier edge.
Vocalist Magali Luyten (the sole relative unknown here) puts forth
an impressive performance, as she has a husky yet forceful voice
well-suited to this kind of metal, perhaps in the same ballpark
as
Benedictum's
Veronica Freeman.
This looks to be a one-off project as the band never recorded again.
