Kadenzza - Into The Oriental Phantasma

Gênero: Symphonic Extreme Metal
País: Japão
Ano Lançamento: 2003
Comentário: Kadenzza, a single man who really knows what he is doing. He does everything himself, though he is really a guitar player (good one too), he throws in awsome keyboards, background vocals and some pounding drums though they are done on a drum machine. He captivates his listener with one hell of an opening song titled Kamakazi Blows. Using blast beats, a quick pace with some kick ass vocals, background speaches and a damn good guitar solo I hoped the rest would be as good. Boy, it was.
The second track Mononoke is kick ass as well, with a bit of a slower pace (still not slow) it continues where track one left off, with another good solo, more heavy guitars and very well done drums. The keyboards in this track really add an entire different atmosphere to Kadenzza's songs. There is a long break in the middle of this one, but it comes back blasting your brain once again.
Wheel of Fortune is my favourite song along with Kamakazi Blows. It just doesn't end with guy, this song has some really catchy riffs, a very interesting guitar solo, amazing keyboards. I honestly can't complain with any of Kadenzza's work on this album. Everything is just so well done, perfect timing, great production, great atmosphere, well done songs and just damn good... Everything! The only thing I can really find a fault with are the fake drums. Even though it sounds good, I'm a drummer and I like a real dummer... Just a personal preference.This album is a must-buy for sure.
This is no Japanese Dimmu Borgir, this is some in your face heavy shit, worthy of any real metal fan.

Som interessante esse, nada de J-rock ou J-metal fiquem tranquilos. O Instrumental varia do bem calmo ao extremo, com um vocal gutural bem estranho.
