Skyfire
Mixing symphonic power metal with blackened vocals is not entirely
new, as there is a large number of (mostly) Finnish bands following
the lead of
Children Of Bodom
in this style.
Add Sweden's Skyfire to that list, as
Timeless Departure is
a speed/symphonic power metal romp, with keyboards as important
to the sound as the guitars.
The scratchy black vocals are pretty one-dimensional, but they
also aren't mixed terribly high.
The contrast between the melody of the riffs and the harsh
anti-melody of the vocals is striking, even more so than in other
similar bands.
Though this style isn't unique, Skyfire execute it quite well, and
thus certainly deserve to be mentioned in the same breath
as bands such as
Kalmah
and
Norther
.
