'Garden Of Shadows' music architecture is based on Iron Maiden typical
guitar riffs, fast rhythm and .... a guttural voice. Honestly if this
voice was different (clear or aggressive) the copy cat with Iron Maiden
would have been ENORMOUS.
If I compare some bands with underground bands, who are true with
their music and are not able to sign a contract, I say to myself :
there are lucky bands and there are unlucky bands on this planet.
Garden Of Shadows doesn't impress me at all. The singer is really
bad (ok I am not a fan of this type of voice, but this one is really
getting on my nerves) and all elements used of their music have been
heard 2000 times on Iron Maiden's album or on any other black metal
album.
The song are quiet long (8 minutes) and overall it is not so bad.
Fans of death metal, who like Maiden, will may be appreciate it, but
expect this ultra guttural voice, this is the exact "replication"
of Powerslave and only a deaf guy cannot recognize the mega-copy-cat
album. Red card !
