Epiclore

This is a prime example of being able to judge a book by its cover, despite what that old saying may tell you. A Finnish band named Epiclore almost has to play some sort of fantasy-based symphonic or melodic power metal, and that's exactly what 2008's Labyrinth Alpha delivers. From a purely metallic standpoint, it doesn't have a lot of teeth, as the songs are upbeat and melodic and, well, nice, but without any grit. The vocals embody this even more than the music -- clear and melodic, but just not very metallic, and they (along with the production) seem a bit muted. Tailored for a specific audience, it's fine for the style, but nothing more.
