Killing songs: <i>Tierra De Nadie & El Engel
This is a long time now I wanted to talk you about Avalanch
El Angel Caido, but unfortunately I didn't have
the opportunity until today.
Avalanch is a Spanish band like Tierra Santa,
but are much less influenced by Iron Maiden compare to Tierra
Santa. I will rather say that Avalanch's members
are fans of Helloween, Gamma Ray or Rhapsody.
Very epic, always melodic, Avalanch's songs are
very catchy and the singer is really excellent. Like it
is the case with Tierra Santa, Avalanch have
decided to sing in Spanish and this is the right choice
as far as I am concerned.
The first two tracks, Tierra De Nadie & El Angel
Caido, are two killers. When I was in Barcelona last
summer, I bought this one after hearing this killing two
songs. Imagine flying and melodic riffs (we could also mention
Dark Moor), powerful chorus and this voice reminding
me very much Rod Steward. Excellent surprise here.
The songs are well structured, with catchy refrains and
the tempo changes from melodic speed to classic epic metal.
Recommended to all fans of melodic speed metal. Now of
course, some of you don't understand Spanish (like me) and
this represents a difficult barrier. But if you have no
problem with Spanish lyrics and are fans of the above-mentioned
bands, this one is a sure buy.
Somehow each time I listen to El Angel Caido, my
soul flies back in Spain ... back to my summer holiday ...
back to the beach ... drinking my freeze coke and looking
to these magnificent girls ..... Ooops my wife ! What was
I saying ? Ah yes, a pleasant record you should check if
you have the opportunity.
