Honestly
i never expected to hear a band from the United States play
like Aspire. Even if i expected a more modern musical
approach, Aspire gives us a symphonic power metal music
direction with their latest album with the title "Quest
Eternal".
In
this album the band included eight tracks and almost fifty
minutes full of fast drum parts, heavy guitar riffs and really
strange vocals. It reminds me of the way that the vocalist
from Manilla Road sings.
Definitely
the compositions from Aspire are well developed with
some really interesting ideas... and actually the songs are
based mainly on keyboards and the guitars. Maybe if the guitar
solos sounds a little bit better in the final mix then the
whole result would be almost excellent but without this again
the band had give us a very impressive piece of music.
Last
but not least i am sure all the fans of heavy, power symphonic
metal will adore the stuff from Aspire and i wish the
band will have a good distribution in order for more and more
metal fans to know about them.
