Bio:
Operadyse has been founded by Damien Marco in 2006 in Montpellier.Driven by his passion for movie soundtracks (Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman..) and for Power Metal (Gamma Ray, Helloween, Rhapsody Of Fire ..), he began to write songs focusing on symphonic instrumentations and lyrics, keystone of the Operadyse's sound, with powerful guitar and bass lines.With the collaboration of his two best friends, Bastien Sablé (keyboards) et Jennifer Lassalle (vocals), they began to work on the first Operadyse's compositions (Celestial Sword, Fairies Secret Garden..). After having hired others musicians to have a whole line-up, Operadyse participated to the Duels Rock 2009 in Montpellier and wan the competition, awarding the recording of its first EP: «Hope Era Dies».However, after the leaving of the drummer and the bassist due to opinion conflicts, Damien finally hired Emmanuel Colombier (Ultra Vomit, Era Nova) and Stéphane Lambert as drummer and bassist respectively. The efficiency of this line-up and the motivation of the members has generated a composition processus allowing to play live locally.Unfortunately, Jennifer Lassalle left the band in 2011 due to personnal reasons. Unable to find the proper songstress to replaced Jennifer, Damien took a radical decision: proposing the position to Franck Garcia, the amazing singer of the progressive Metal band Spheric Universe Experience. Franck motivated and impressed by the talent of Damien and the power of the operadyse's songs accepted the challenge without any hesitations.From this point, the band actively worked to complete the compositions of the first album: «Pandemonium». The recording has been done at Drudenhaus Studio (produced by Xort, ex-Anorexia Nervosa keyboardist) in Nantes in 2012 and has been completed in early 2013. Operadyse has been signed by the German label Sonic Attack Records / SPV (owned by Karl Walterbach - Noise Records founder) and by Avalon Marquee (Greatest Metal label in Japan).Bastien Sablé left the band in end of 2013 in order to spend more time working on his passion for photography. Emmanuel Colombier left the band as well in order to be more concentrated on his main band Ultra Vomit. In early 2014, Vincent Labelle (from the Death Metal band «Antropofago») has integrated the band as the drummer and Gianni Nardone as the keyboardist.
Album:
OPERADYSE is a Power Metal with Symphonic elements emerging from France. They were formed back in 2006, took them three years to release a debut EP named "Hope Era Dies". Just a little while ago the band signed with a joint venture of SPV / Sonic Attack for the release of their debut full-length album "Pandemonium".Throughout this album I found every bit of song to be more than welcoming and pleasurable. "Rise", a near perfect intro, like a soundtrack from a movie, moving in with a lead violin, for the welcoming of "Celestial Sword", merging a spectacular vibe of Euro Power Metal, brilliant lead guitar work, choir like vocals surging a magical atmosphere, reaching to the melodic and dynamic extents of STRATOVARIUS and also HELLOWEEN. Enjoyable during listening. "Keeper Of The Flame" has a thunderous stream of punching fast paced tempo and amazing symphonic tuning, matching the notations of RHAPSODY OF FIRE and DRAGONFORCE, musical expertise in such a catchy form that will entice you for sure. The opening choir on "Unfold Legend" sounds like something out of a POWERWOLF album, picturing high end melodic singing, cheery moody, with a shred of darkness. "Fairies Secret Garden" is a memorable shindig, tracing back to NIGHTWISH, easy to muster lyrically, darkened fairytale with a tad of the Power Metal shredding of WISDOM. Dynamic ambiance with dozens of melodic fragments, shining with power through the courses of "The Path Of Divine", inhabiting terrific female vocals and great riffing. Title track "Pandemonium" crushing with fast paced mania, providing the listener with the gift of melody exhaling mega powerful bombastic tune, this is Euro Power Metal folks. I would also recommend on the sweet ballad of "Frozen", the kick ass energetic track "Nevermore" with progressive lines and symphonic elements while also taking in "Arkanya" where a charming duet will usher you in.OPERADYSE is none other than a high form of Metal demonstration, producing enchanting melodic energized music. "Pandemonium" will be the treat for Power Metal fans worldwide, with enough Symphonic aspects to have you all gathered around it. Probably one of the best French Metal bands I tuned in to in a while.
