Arkgabriel – Arkgabriel (2012)


We have in our hands the first national launch of 2012. This is the eponymous debut album of the quintet Arkgabriel Madrid, a young band that shows in this issue an undisguised affection for melodic power metal and epic orchestral tints eleven cuts created mostly during the past 2011, but the last two CD dated to 2009. And certainly notice the difference between them, but curiously have pleased me more than the couple of older songs that I find in the strongest terms and freshness in the other nine most recent that I find somewhat hollow and artificial, despite show a clear evolution in their complexity and both compositional and instrumental technique.

Besides the five members of the band could be considered almost as a sixth member of the same Sergio Canovas, lead singer of the Order of Kaos that besides producing the disc correctly puts his deep voice with the staff and pompous of Juanky Alvarez on the topic "I feel," one of the cuts that I liked for his good vocal and instrumental melodies into a good rhythm changes creating a winning combination of power and melodic progressive metal that reminds me slightly soft to the longing Ankhara. Some Ankhara also represented on disk by the presence of vocalist currently Hybris, Pacho Brea, sharing vocal duties with the Justito Juanky and predictable "Miserable" good with outstanding guitar melodies Rasquin Giscard clearly on a power metalera but not as unequivocal as is his letter full of rage and anger, which is not to say that Jose Ramon Morales bassist and drummer Alberto Lopez do evil, but do not sound all that requires aggressive message.Completes the trio of collaborations with Dani Aller, Ars Amandi singer who takes his spot with his dull voice and flute arrangements folkie proper court as "My Last Sin" always on a power line and even metalera something sinister dark by the use of keyboards by Javier Hidalgo. In addition to the aforementioned "feel" the song that I liked from that of 2011 was "Is there anybody there?" Cut less pompous, more direct but not without attention to detail of keys and guitars, and shows Juanky voice somewhat forced. One detail that's too baroque vocal in my opinion I do make quite heavy at times melodic themes as the overriding rhythm "Acrobat" or the more lilting symphony and live "Navigator" which opens the album. Less pretentious and serious but I find in the nostalgic and sad "You're Still Here" quite monotonous feeling but in the harsh and gloomy "World of Pain", and the romantic ballad "You" adorned by a tormented arrangements Juanky orchestral itself that stand above its sustained, deep voice. Left for the final issues of 2009 have definitely been the ones I have arrived.

This is the emphatic and convincing "a bet" with a live rhythm bordering on thrash mostly by the sound of guitar and percussion without losing melody and heavy substance, and the soft "With Name Woman" that wraps the warm soft voice guitars Juanky to be growing in their instrumentation with a beautiful and intense guitar solo that breaks away briefly relaxed sugarcane. If these guys are able to properly mix your current technical quality with the strength and dynamism of the beginning I think they can start earning a metalhead staff consideration, for now I offer more insights than certainties, to continue working hard on that I think there's potential.
