专辑介绍:
来自芬兰Jakobstad小镇的Altaria乐队在2000年成军,其主要曲风为Power Metal,不同于一般的Power Metal高吭音调的风格,他们在曲子还添加了一点摇滚味,有点像是Rock & Metal的综合体,有着与众不凡的气势,然而却又带点铁汉柔情的元素来诠译,呈现出Power Metal另一种不同的音乐风貌。
2003年乐队被德国金属大厂Metal Heaven签下,发行了首张专辑《Invitation》;2006年他们共同和德国金属女皇Doro以及同乡的力量金属名团Sonata Arctica合作演出,这几年团员一直变动,同时也和不少大牌乐队的成员互有往来,如Nightwish的吉他手Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen,Sonata Arctica的吉他手Jani Liimatainen,而现在唯一从建立之初就在乐队中的成员就只有鼓手Tony Smedjebacka,今年乐队刚刚发行了第5张专辑《Unholy》(其中四张完整录音室专辑,一张精选集),同时他们还将再度投入欧洲各地巡回演唱。
《Invitation》这是他们的首张正式专辑,实际上之前Altaria已经有过2张Demo,其中的曲目都重新制作进入了这张专辑,当时的乐队阵容相当强大,以至乐迷对于专辑有着更高的期待。以下为来自rockunited网站的乐评:
Again another power metal band from Finland and the main question is: are they any good? When I looked at the line-up my expectations were very high. As there is: Jouni Nikula (Requiem), Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica), Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish), Marko Pukkila (Blindside) and Tony Smedjebacka also from Blindside; so these guys already stood their musical ground.
But after listening to "Invitation” a few times I am not that enthusiastic anymore, Altaria play too much on the safe side!! The sound is okay, the melodies groove, the songs are not too bad and of course the musicians are great, but something is missing. However I really cannot put my finger on it what is wrong…..
Just listen and judge yourself to e.g. the poppy “History Of Times To Come”, the typical power metal track “Innocent” or the weird ballad “Emerald Eye”. My conclusion is: well done, but far from original and these guys can do better than this!!!
