POEMSIA “La Danza Degli Spiriti”

POEMISIA
“La Danza Degli Spiriti”
(Spider Rock Promotion)
With a name like that this gotta be some of the most romantic metal I’ve heard in a very long while. If not I’ll feel cheated on and the band should be ashamed for false marketing. But that will all be sorted once I put this one on. For some strange reason I’ve fallen for this whole operatic vocal style in combination with metal. It might have started with Nightwish but now there are so many bands using it that it has become a genre all its own. POEMISIA could easily be described as opera metal, a combination of power and symphonic metal with an opera singer. I had no real hopes for this album but there is something to it that triggers emotions in me that hasn’t been active for a while. Anders Ekdahl
