Search - Thalion :: Another Sun

Angra meets Edenbridge

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Thalion is a Brazilian progressive/power metal band with a sound very reminiscent of countrymen Angra and Shaman, but with female lead vocals. In fact, members of both bands guest on this album, as does former Helloween vocalist Michael Kiske, who lends his legendary voice to the closing song the Encounter.



Thalion vocalist Alexandra Liambos doesn't sing in the operatic Nightwish style, which is fortunate since there are already more than enough Nightwish copycat bands out there. Instead, her style is closer to that of Sabine Edelsbacher from Edenbridge, though perhaps not as strong. It is clear and emotional, and works quite well with this type of music.



Fans of progressive/power metal, particularly fans of bands with female vocals, should find plenty to enjoy in Thalion.
