Divine Ascension - As The Truth Appears
From Australia comes Divine Ascension, and As the Truth Appears is their debut release on Nightmare Records. Led by the dynamic vocals of Jennifer Borg, Divine Ascension play a symphonic power metal style that will draw instant comparisons to Nightwish, Epica, After Forever, and Within Temptation, but they possees solid songwriting skills and killer musicianship, making them real heirs to the genre throne and a band that needs your immediate attention.
Soaring, powerful vocals, crunchy riff-o-rama, sweeping keyboards, and memorable songs...yep, it's all here on As the Truth Appears. Opening track "Answers" is like a marriage between Nightwish & Evergrey, as Borg pairs off with a male vocalist who sounds very much like Evergrey's Tom Englund, and cuts such as "In My Mind", "Visionary", and "Garden of Evil" posses plenty of punch in the guitar department yet always retaining that killer sense of melody and symphonic flair. "Vision Divine" is a must for any epic, symphonic metal fan, and there are plenty of proggy moments in this gem as well to really sink your teeth into. The grand & majestic "Guided by Osiris" offers up intricate, churning guitar riffs amist huge beds of orchestral keyboards while Borg's vocals soar to the heavens...magical stuff. Dramatic closer "Unscathed" takes things to another level, and will easily nudge you to not only raise your fist in the air and headbang but also to wave that lighter or cell phone along to the sweeping melodies.
Impressive stuff all around here from Divine Ascension. If you are a fan of majestic symphonic power metal, you'll need to get your hands on As the Truth Appears.
