Topic: What Happened To Adagios New Album Posted: March 22 2006 at 01:31 |
growling vocals were an interesting direction, and as mentioned this album has a more raw power/speed metal type of sound than the other two
i don't think it's bad though, to each his own :)

I'd put the emphasis more on Prog than on Power considering after listening to Sanctus Ignis & Underworld. That isn't the case anymore... not by a long shot.

I like Underworld very much ... but I always considered it to be a Power Metal album, pretty much on the same level as Symphony X.
|
True for me. Symphony X's music got me into Adagio's.

Well, I actually listened to it (internet is a wonderful thing), and I was indeed flabbergasted at the sound.
Songs like Seven Lands of Sin, Second Sight & From My Sleep ... To
Someone Else were absolutely amazing in my eyes, and not a real copy of
any music I know.
And know it's just plain old power metal. And that's not necessarily a
bad thing, but if I want to listen to power metal I'll buy a cd from a
powermetal band, and that's not the genre in which I had put Adagio....
It's a shame in my eyes.
Maybe it has something to do with that new singer? They switched singer if I remember correctly....

I think that the album hasn't been released yet in Europe/America.

I recently bought Adagio's newest album "Dominate". I was expecting more of a Sanctus Ignis/ Underworld sounding album, but i was wrong. The songs were nowhere near any of those. I was a bit dissapointed. The album was a lot power metal sounding with its share of growls and shrieks (correct me on this if im wrong) I havent finished listening to it yet, but im certain that i wont be enjoying this album as much as i enjoyed the previous 2.
Just my comments..
Any kind reactions?
