Sound Island

This work of Swedish band Amaran qualitatively differs from their debut album World Depraved” (2002), mostly in compositional view. Almost every song is based on several musical themes, passing through each other during the song.

The style which Amaran performs suppossably tends to what is called power metal, but it also includes slight elements of progressive and even death metal. Nevertheless, featured by variety of rich melodic solos and magnificent female vocals, it is still easy to listen.

Johanna De Pierre’s way of singing is very emotional and makes a deep impression. By using her strong voice of a great range she performs complex vocal parts, making wide leaps between melodical sequences.

In general, powerful instrumental sound and dramatic vocal s represent a quite felicitous mixture. Lyrical “Coming Home”, impressive “Katharsis”, melodious “24 Pills” are the most remarkable of that unique metal fusion style presented at the album.
