DREAMS AND
REALITIES
EPITAFIUM OF
MEXICO
by Darkzen
Greetings! My dear readers, I'm bringing you a review and
a small biography of a Mexican band Goth / Death Metal album that gives us a
great musical quality and a very good voice technique, here some of them.
The band starts in May and June of 2011, founded by
Charly Gracida (Guitar) and Nadeny (Soprano Lirica) having as companions to
Vicente Aguilar (drums), John Vander (keyboards and guttural voice) Rafa Romero
(bass), playing covers the beginning of Symphonic Metal as "epic",
"Nightwish", "Therion", "Sirenia" and
"Xandria".
Then out of the lineup for personal reasons Vincent and
John , making way for the arrival of Dann Ojeda ( Drums) and Rocke Reyes (
guitar and guttural vocal) . Initiating the project of original music, voice
mixing music , lyric soprano accompanied by forceful and aggressive guitars ,
using grunts , in English and Spanish with a mythical concept in their lyrics ;
lyrics that deal with mythological characters , fantasies and realities
bringing you a dumb imagination.
The style of the band also shows sounds near death and
touches of black metal , finding results in January 2012, a demo with 3 songs
that have been well accepted within the scene as having greatest achievement
appear on the compilation " Chants Night 3 " disc that brings
together the best bands on the national scene .
In April 2013 departure from the band for personal
reasons Dann Ojeda leaving a legacy of work which will be the first album of
the band and went on to give the arrival of Satoshi Lira on drums. With only 4
members ( Nadeny , Charly , Leo and Satoshi ) is decided to start recording
their first album in collaboration with the throaty voice of Eduardo Medrano (
Eternal Night ) and starting a new, stronger and mature stage that bore fruit
in the first official album Dreams and Realities band released on November 30
of that year.
Later in March 2014 fully integrates Eduardo Medrano on
guitar and guttural voice being the complete lineup.
The name derives from the song of Polish band Epitafium
Osteoarthritis . As the definition describes the inscription on a tombstone or
monument commemorating the deceased , and made immortal in our thoughts. Why
the band use this name .
Line up :

Guitar and Voice

Well let's review !
Entreaty
An atmospheric , environmental input with a strong , dark
and brooding serious operatic falsetto , a sobbing basket!
The sorrow of the
spirits ...
Check with explosive guitars and forceful and rapid
battery! The operatic voice is good except instrumentation than a little voice,
throaty gives nice dark touch , speed and goth, the entire track is in constant
speed and an equal pace , light des times between the song and the voice, an
abrupt end , good song !
The Curse
Heavier tackle and excellent voice! Grave and dark !
Accompanied with the guttural time
Along with a guitar and strong battery! Perfect speed *
Malicious Land
Another very well-structured , continuous and steady,
heavy beat, the song has a great voice is serious falsetto good! the spread
between the voice and the song is well coupled .
The crying of the
witch
A great entry in this song we can hear the operatic vocal
ability of female soprano voice, guttural combination , just a little
background is achieved guttural to qualify in this perfect speed as previous
songs and times !
Sorrow of the
spirits
A song with an entry in speed and like the second song
structure , remain with the strength and themes in constant voice
Death of a
Gentleman
Check in poetic and narrative very motivating to enter
the story after brings a touch of heavy guitars and drums, the Spanish voice
remains on par with the song!
Excellent end.
Mortal beauty
Wonderful voice , I like the atmosphere of the track with
strong beats and heavy , yet melodic turn in time with the song and voice, the
sharp end with a high voice .
Final verse
A song forcefully , more musically structured , high
voice with which we can hear clearly , both the input and the end with a piano
and dark melancholy words with a single touch !
My recommendation;
It is a strong and heavy disc, the tessitura of the voice
Nadeny (Soprano) is highly technical, dark, melodic and symphonic, the album is
continuous, starts strong and forceful and well maintained, the atmosphere of
the guttural voice is an excellent mix of dark and melancholic emotions, but
with integrated heaviness, is fast on certain songs and in other regular speed,
the combination of singing in Spanish and English at the beginning and the end
in Spanish, gives a touch of disco essence an identity and that's very original
little is seen or heard in other bands, the cover art of the album is me
striking, showing emotion with which it was written and performed, is an album
well done, continuous and atmospheric, all consecutive songs are for me the
most representative of the album is that of the Curse, which I believe is the
symbol of the album.
