Leaves' Eyes Leaves An Impression In London
Symphonic metal is one of the most popular sub-genres of metal today, with bands headlining festivals across the world and even holding their own in the case of Epica. One of the more prominent bands from this area is Leaves' Eyes, who earlier this year released their superb new album, "Sign Of Dragonhead," their first with new vocalist Elina Siirala. To promote the album, the band has been on an extensive tour of Europe, joined along the way by MaYaN, the side project of Epica mastermind Mark Jansen and Almanac, the new band from former Rage guitarist Victor Smolski. How did the show go? Read on, MacDuff.
Opening the show was Almanac, a power metal project from Victor Smolski with no less than both male and female vocalists. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see a good portion of their set as I was interviewing Leaves' Eyes, but what I did see was very impressive indeed. Smolski has gained the reputation as something of a modern guitar hero and it's easy to see why, as his one of a kind style leads the group to a fresh sound with a unique take on a genre which makes it easy to be bland. Of particular note too was the talents of singers David Readman and Jeannette Marchewka, who were in fine voice throughout. It wasn't a sold out show tonight and opening acts don't always get a large audience, but those who were here for Almanac would find plenty to enjoy. More...
