Thy Majestie
Playing symphonic melodic metal and being Italian guarantees a comparison to
Rhapsody Of Fire,
and Thy Majestie (the misspelling due to the fact that a German band went by
the name Thy Majesty) has endured its share of Rhapsody comparisons, some labelling them an outright clone.
That's a bit harsh, but Rhapsody is at least a suitable reference point when describing
The Lasting Power, the band's debut album.
The style is classic epic power metal, spiced with several classical and medieval interludes that lend the album an air of diversity.
Yes, they've still got that over-the-top sound, complete with high-pitched vocalist
(though the occasional choir breaks that up as well), but they seem to have a
greater sense of purpose.
Two years after
The Lasting Power the band released its followup,
Hastings 1066, showing a great deal of growth and also distancing itself
slightly from the Rhapsody style.
Symphonic melodic power metal fans will no doubt enjoy this band.
