Bio:

Arguably one of Australia’s most popular Heavy Metal bands, Black Majesty return with their fifth album ‘Stargazer’. After initially dazzling the metal scene with their progressive tinged ‘Sands of Time’ cd (2003), and critically acclaimed power metal opus ‘Silent Company’ cd (2005) the band released ‘Tomorrowland’ in 2007 which saw them play at some of the world’s biggest renowned Heavy Metal festivals such as Masters of Rock Czech Republic, Metal Universe Slovakia and Wacken Open Air Germany. Stefan Belik of Bright Eyes Wacken review team went on to say that “Black Majesty shared unbelievable guitar work and one of the most impressive voices of the 2007 Wacken Open Air festival”. Then came ‘In Your Honour’ (2010) named after the band’s appreciation for their fans, which also saw Black Majesty play one of their biggest headline shows ever - in excess of 5000 people in Jakarta, Indonesia.Black Majesty’s latest album ‘Stargazer’ is both fresh and vintage. It shows off some of the band’s best songwriting to date which sees the band cover new ground with excellent musicianship and melodic arrangements whilst still remaining true to the melodic metal style they have developed over the years. Vocalist John Cavaliere soars in songs like ‘Voice Of Change’ and ‘Edge Of The World’ which is reminiscent of the mighty Michael Kiske whilst album opener ‘Fallen’ shares elements of classic Kamelot.Black Majesty again decided to utilise Masterplan main man Roland Grapow (ex Helloween) for some of the recording process with drummer Pavel Konvalinka recording drums at Grapow Studios in Slovakia. Roland went on to mix & master the album giving the album that special ‘X – Factor”.Stargazer features great sing along choruses, emotive expression, impressive vocal work from arguably one of the best vocalists in the southern hemisphere – John Cavaliere, soaring dual guitar solos from guitarists Stevie Janevski & Hanny Mohamed , pounding bass from Evan Harris & awesome thundering power drumming from Pavel Konvalinka.With influences ranging from Judas Priest, Dio, Manowar, Queensryche and Helloween the new album shows a band that wears their influences on their sleeves yet also one that is also striving to create new unique and powerful songs. The title track ‘Stargazer’ is reminiscent of old school classic metal whilst songs such as ‘Holy Killers’ and Edge Of The World’ get our pulse racing from the get go. “Lost Horizon’ and ‘Journey To The Soul’ showcase the bands knack for catchy anthems whilst the bare bones acoustic track Shine is an emotion filled ballad which reminds of Coverdale’s excellent Soldier Of Fortune. We are also introduced to the haunting ‘Symphony Of Death’ and ‘Killing Hand’ which are both lyrically intriguing, something sure to get the general public talking.Black Majesty have always shown great passion for the music they play. They’ve helped spread the word with tours of Europe, Asia and Australia, playing alongside heavyweights such as Helloween, Saxon, Blind Guardian, Paul Dianno, Edguy, Hammerfall and Dragonforce many of whom were overwhelmed by the bands powerful energy.Black Majesty’s amazing cover art theme continues with Dirk Illing (Scorpions/Wizard) again adding the fifth part to the Black Majesty story.Black Majesty released their new album Stargazer in July 2012 (mixed by Roland Grapow – Masterplan / ex – Helloween).Black Majesty most recently supported Nightwish nation wide on their upcoming January 2013 tour. Black Majesty also supported Sabbaton on their only Melbourne headline show in January 2013.

Album:

A fine Power and Melodic Heavy Metal band from Australia forms BLACK MAJESTY, a band who plays from the heart and soul and just generally kicks major ass phenomenally. The band has been around since 2001 and since then has crafted five full-length albums and just one EP. I consider Power Metal a rich experience every time and BLACK MAJESTY knew how to make me feel and sense that powerful intensity.From beginning to end I sensed a DRAGONFORCE similarity now and then, keeping that melodic structure and fast intensity. Obviously no one can rival DRAGONFORCE through their intensity through the flames, yeah bad joke, but the notice is still there nonetheless. With also great vocals sounding a lot like ZP Theart at times and some powerful integration from Kobra Paige, fuses a powerhouse of fine melodic Metal.You can fuse the melodic side of Metal in almost any genre if done rightly. Power however always manages to perfect it enriching the genre that much more. Bringing Power to the listener, good vibes and good times, full of energy and excitement comes “Cross Of Thorns”. BLACK MAJESTY have released a fine spectacle of might of Melodic Power tradition; they're no MANOWAR but more of a Thrashy version.

“Phoenix”
Begins the album with the sound of a rushing crow speeding onto the carnage of Metal, implementing Thrash like riffs from Stevie Janevski and Hanny Mohamed combined with the melody of keyboard transitions holds an atmospheric greatness and a fine opening track to this great album. John Cavaliere really has vocals of pure steel and energetic precision. These guys have really outdone themselves.

“Anneliese”
Melodic riffs and powerful drums with Ben Wignall pounding intensely: here comes another atmospheric winner. Some classical like Heavy Metal vocals (as Rob Halford would describe it) exposes some also fine solos with powerful precision, a fine track.)

“Vlad (The Impaler)”
This one showcases the more powerful elements the band potentially can show, keeping the great classical Heavy Metal vocals and those insane solos pouring out of the band: a fine intensifier of a track.

“Crossroads”
Slowing down the casual tradition of insane melodic thrashers, comes a fine, more chilled out song but shocks the listener as the powerful intensity returns with a bang, keeping the slower vibe but also keeping the faster side; a very nice “anthem” for the band.

“Out In The Fields” (Gary Moore Cover)
Honestly I haven't listened to the legendary Gary Moore yet (may he rest in peace) and I feel a bit foolish not doing so, I must sort this out… But after listening to this I know what I'm missing and if I listened to this song beforehand I'd probably say this is a fantastic cover and tribute to the man. Very melodic of course and majestic in a way. I assume this is BLACK MAJESTY's own take on the song, forming it into a Metal filled majestic winner.

“Misery”
The rhythm in the vocals is the highlight in this one for me as well as the pounding drums fused with the fast intensity of the returning riffs, with returning solos and emotional vocals. This one's other highlight is the amazing solos, fantastic.

“Make Believe”
Returning in slower form but beginning with those fantastic solos and groovy riffs make for another fine addition to this great album. The riffs and solos are in fine tune as well as some great drumming skills here.

“One Life”
Some Rob Halford-like screams at the beginning of this one. The bass can really be heard too, and Evan Harris is beastly here. And the drums get better too, really showcasing some fine brutality here.

“Emptiness Ideal”
Some fine riffs on this one, explosive and terrifying, fantastic.

“Escape”
Ending the album comes a fine melody of true musicianship and insanely epic and explosive riffs. This is perhaps the finest Power Metal album I have heard in a good while, keeping the great vocals in time with rhythm, great song.In a sense the album is very much identical to each other and can sound very similar after each track, but that's the beauty of Metal. Us Metalheads usually love this but it can grow tiring after a while. Though “Cross Of Thorns” is an ultimately fantastic album this can be a downside but that's pretty much my only complaint. The album is a classic in its own right and shouldn't be looked over if you're “heavily” into Metal like I am.

Album:

The comment “it isn’t anything new” seems to be negative for many readers. No, it’s not. To be honest, almost 90% of the releases you can think of are breeds of anything, but it doesn’t mean that they’re not good. An example: compare METALLICA and MEGADETH, and you see the same musical genre, but different approaches are used (and none of them created Thrash Metal, but EXODUS is the one who started it). That’s what it means to say that the Power Metal quintet BLACK MAJESTY, from Australia, is releasing their very good latest album, “Children of the Abyss”.It’s just that old and good traditional form of melodic and technical Power Metal used by German bands as HELLOWEEN and GAMMA RAY. But these guys know how to create excellent hooking musical arrangements and charming choruses. Of course, it’s nothing that we didn’t heard before somewhere else, but how this album is truly very good. It glues in our ears! It’s their seventh album so it demanded a good producer. And the one they choose is Roland Grapow (from MASTERPLAN), who gave them a first class insight on the quality. Of course they sound heavy and with a raw aggressive touch, what make them different from those who want the things as clean as possible (and that sometimes sacrifices the musical weight for that). Everything works in a very good way, indeed.Musically, it’s an album that every fan of this genre will buy. And “Dragons Unite” (a fast song with excellent melodies and charming chorus, what shows how the vocals are truly very good), the catchy and heavy tempos “Something’s Goin On” (yes, the bass guitar and drums are doing a good and heavy work), the sharp harmonies and grasping speed of “Children of the Abyss” (excellent guitar riffs and solos), the climatic tempo changes of “Hideaway” (very good keyboards parts filling the spaces) and on “So Lonely”, and the fire dart riffs of “Reach Into Darkness” can be pointed as the album’s finest moments. But hear it entirely, you’ll love the experience.BLACK MAJESTY is really a very good band, and “Children of the Abyss” can put them in a better place on the world scene!
