Album:
Symphonic metal and Austria - there's a whole slew of bands. EDENBRIDGE, SERENITY and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, who are now an international band, all come from the Alpine republic. All these names have the same concept, which we already know from NIGHTWISH, WITHIN TEMPTATION and the like from the 90s. Symphonic tones packaged female fronted. Is the debut "Undying" by AUTUMN BRIDE still worthwhile or have you already heard everything of this genre? The origin of the band members of AUTUMN BRIDE, however, is not to be found in melodic heavy metal. They drifted around in thrash and death and AUTUMN BRIDE was actually only meant as a fun project. Of course the name NIGHTWISH is mentioned as an influence, but also BLACK SABBATH and PARADISE LOST."The Path" as the opener doesn't come with the typical NIGHTWISH-TARJA mix, the vocals are darker and guitars dominate rather than the keyboard. The symphonic part is rather low, the focus is on string work and melody. "Fear And Devotion" focuses a bit more on gloom and devotion and the vocals are also used energetically sometimes. "Moonlit Waters" unfortunately doesn't keep up the level, "Shadows" picks up again a bit, above all the band brings the guitars in a much better position. "Monsters" becomes more symphonic, the mix of ballad and doomy passages takes some getting used to. Melodic metal stalwart follows with the Raven Queen."Guardian Angels" leans on "Fear And Devotion" and is one of the stronger tracks on the work with its catchy refrain. "Undying" sounds dark and gloomy, as you would expect from the title. The string fraction once again makes itself heard well. "All Of The Lights" is not a bad piece, but it doesn't score as well as "Undying" with its higher vocals. Solid and quite round "Forelsket" with high vocals is the final point of the long record.The record is remarkable and courageous as a debut work in a strongly cultivated genre. However, the band runs out of steam with the longer running time. The strengths of the dark atmosphere are lost at the latest with the high vocals in "All Of The Light". Apart from the rather dark tracks, the string work is convincing and the band manages to get by without any kitsch and with very little bombast. So the material is just enough for an above average vote. Followers of the well-known genre greats who like it a bit darker should keep an ear on the silver disc from Austria.
