Melodic metal from Australia

"Black Majesty is an Australian band with a style somewhere between power metal and hard rock. They have often been likened to progressive bands like Queensryche and Threshold, and there are certain similarities. Their sound features dual guitars, heavy bass lines and double-time drums, with occasional keyboards and acoustic passages. The vocals, in the mid-to-high range, are smooth and tasteful. But what sets Black Majesty apart from other bands in this genre is their gift for melodic songwriting. Instead of producing metal epics, they keep their songs reasonably concise. Although there are no outstanding tracks, the songs are consistently good, so that the CD as a whole makes a pleasing impression.
