Derdian - Limbo
DERDIAN is band from Milan, Italy, formed back in 1998 and has been embracing the realm Symphonic Power Metal. Their discography includes: “New Era (Part I)” of 2005, “New Era (Part II) - War of the Gods” of 2007, “New Era (Part III) - The Apocalypse” of 2010 and the fresh album of 2013, “Limbo”.
The great opener, “Carpe Diem”, surges with fast paced and powerful drums and heavy riffs with the band's backing singing. This is a first presentation of the next hour's show. I like “Dragon Life” with its amazing keyboards display, the energetic rapid pace in the vein of GAMMA RAY. The vocals are high pitched & intensely melodic. This song was built almost to perfection with an impressive rhythm section, penetrating riffing and a grand guitar solo. “Forever In The Dark” handling the true essence of the combo Power Metal with symphonic orchestrations and fine melodies, diverse tempos and definitive keyboards. Every bit of this one seemed planned ahead for a tremendous build up. “Strange Journey” is characterised by great lyrics and impressive singing by Ivan Giannini, a quality that he kept throughout the entire album. The singing followed the rhythm mostly, yet the melodic line took hold as the standout moment massed in the chorus section. The solo section afterwards, even better. “Limbo”, quite an epic, appeared to be progressed in comparison to the classic nature of the rest of the tracks, bits of aggression and elasticity crumbed jointly in robust melodic tunes. “Heal My Soul” features a guitar playing following the likes of HELLOWEEN and STRATOVARIUS, providing an exquisite atmosphere. “Light Of Hate”, smelled of STRATOVARIUS when it came down to the energetic pace, pushes forward, creating a Power Metal sensation crossing with DRAGONFORCE. Worth listening are also the keyboards demonstrations. “Terror” continues the same outpouring of vigour, same goes with “Kingdom Of Your Heart” with its solo instant. “Hymn Of Liberty” is more or less the album's summary and the band's fine antics.
"Limbo” is a killer no doubt about it. I enjoyed it very much. The crew of musicians have plenty of experience and it is being proven nearly every minute of the album's production and compositions. DERDIAN has been a part of the melodic end of Power Metal influenced by quite a selection of bands: GAMMA RAY, HELLOWEEN, RHAPSODY OF FIRE, SONATA ARCTICA, DRAGONFORCE, STRATOVARIUS among the many known bands. This is a fine experience that should be encompassed.
