Album:

Debut full-length album.This was a CD I bought around the time it came out and loved it despite it being the epitome of middle of the road Italian power metal, and eventually sold it, but then had a hankering for it again after enjoying the latest Highlord so much, and revisiting it now, I’ve got to say, it holds up well for what it is. I had pretty much everything Underground Symphony released at one point, and every band that label signed sounded exactly the same. Every country has a geographical aesthetic to its music, but Italian power metal rarely deviated from its core origin. Almost every band to come out of that scene wanted to be Rhapsody or Labyrinth, most sounding like a mixture of both. There were exceptions, of course. That’s why people dug White Skull and Domine so much back then.But Athlantis on their 2003 debut couldn’t have summed up this sound better if they tried. It’s almost an exact copy of Labyrinth, from the piercingly high feminine male vocals to the romantic synths, the sweeping guitars to the rattling double bass drumming, it’s note for note a more fantasy-orientated ‘Return To Heaven Denied’, only faster and less mature. There’s no hint of originality to be found, but to hell with it, ‘Silver And Gold’ is a perfect power metal song, just a pure double-kicking slice of cheese that sounds just as bright and fluffy as it did back then. ‘King Lear’ is a proper ‘Sons Of Thunder’ rip, but damn does it burn. Vocalist Ivan Drake is really just Rob Tyrant in disguise, and Pier Gonella is Olaf Thorsen, I swear it. The production is exactly the same kind of dreamy deal ‘Heaven Denied’ was, but I actually think there are more double kickers on this and fewer mellow parts. It’s also got this fantasy feel that comes across like an aural Dragonlance book. There were millions of bands like this at the time that all sounded identical: Wonderland, Holy Knights, Shadows Of Steel, Athena, Skylark, Pandaemoniumm, Shining Fury, Artemis; I mean, the list goes on and on, not to mention Secret Sphere and Vision Divine, bands that went on to much greater success than any of those shameless Labyrinth clones.All that being said, this is still a really pleasant album to stick on when you want some super sugary power metal. The melodies are sunrise bright, and you know, it takes you somewhere. Somewhere far away where the sun always shines and things turn out all right. It’s plagiarism to the extreme, and pretty silly when you think about it, but if twinkling harpsichords, major key choruses, extreme double bass abuse and high-pitched wailing are your thing, you could do a lot worse than this. It’s the most blatant example of the Italian power metal sound, and it captures a moment in time that will never come again, but twenty years down the line, it’s still fast and fun. Class dismissed.

Album:

Second full-length album.Athlantis is something of an oddball band, not just because they have an unusual spelling of a famed mythical sunken city, but also because they don’t quite listen like the typical Italian power metal band. Most of the time there is a tendency towards the symphonic side of the coin ala the ubiquitous influence of Luca Turilli and Rhapsody Of Fire, and even when a band decides to go towards a somewhat less overtly symphonic direction, there is a strong familiarity with the same Helloween influences that went into albums like “Legendary Tales” and “King Of The Nordic Twilight”. What is heard on “M.W.N.D.” is much closer to a traditional metal sound, one that recalls the style pre-1995, yet retains a fair amount of present day trappings.The first band that immediately came to mind when first hearing some of the speed infused, sing-along fanfare such as “Getaway”, “Lightning” and “Holy Call” was Firewind, more specifically the first two albums with Stephen Fredrick at the helm. Part of it has to do with lead vocalist Jack Spider having a similarly husky and gravely baritone character to his voice, but truth be told, the extremely formulaic and symmetrical nature of the songwriting definitely runs along similar lines and gives the band that sort of vanilla sound that is often derided by detractors of Gus G’s songwriting. The only place where the band doesn’t really resemble Firewind much is in the lead guitar department, which is very clearly nowhere near the technical level of what Ozzy’s latest axe man is capable of, but still manages to be reasonably proficient by the old school, 80s metal standard.There are also a few points of surprising and bewilderment that are introduced into this otherwise predictable equation via guest vocal slots. Giorgia Gueglio, who looks like a more slender version of Elise Martin but sounds more like Amanda Somerville, provides an unusually soft, angelic quality to what is otherwise a pretty meaty sound, particularly on the token ballad “Faraway” which already gets dangerously close to easy-listening territory. The other guest vocalist Alessio Calandriello has a proto-typically light Italian tenor sound that would probably have put him in the running for Luca Turilli’s latest project, and his presence turns an otherwise strong Firewind sounding speeder in “The Final Judgment” into something closer to the latest Secret Sphere sound. He also does a quirky little old school rock sounding duet with Jack Spider on “Dry Gin” that is sure to be eaten up by the average Motley Crue fan, but is a bit out of place alongside most of this album’s contents.There’s not really much to complain about with an album like this, but at the same time it doesn’t do a heck of a lot to merit extreme praise. This is power metal for people who eat it by the ton and have all but made themselves of obese on it, and will probably fly under the radar of most people who already get their kicks from Hammerfall and Dream Evil. It’s definitely competent, and at times it definitely manages to entertain and even enthrall, but it loses its power over time and doesn’t really go the whole distance in making itself distinct from the pack. If it’s on sale, it might be worth the dough, but it’s not something that would merit a grand expedition in search for its namesake beneath the sea.

Steve Vawamas - Bass, Keyboards - (See also: Bellathrix, Mastercastle, ex-Angels in Black, ex-Shadows of Steel, ex-The Dogma, ex-Tragedian)

Album:

Less than a year after the excellent "The Way To Rock 'N' Roll" Steve Vawamas returns with his Athlantis project. Compared to the previous work, we must report the entry into training of the talented Chris Parisi on drums (Killers Lodge), for the rest everything remains unchanged with Steve on bass, Pier Gonella on guitar, Stefano Molinari on keyboards and Davide Dell'Orto (Drakkar) behind the microphone. "02.02.2020" (palindrome date) like its predecessors, has the great advantage of containing songs that fully reflect the tastes of the musicians involved. The groove and the pull of the pieces contained in it make it a homogeneous and compact album without necessarily having to invent something new. The difference compared to many other groups, which refer to these sounds, therefore make it the basic technique and inspiration. Being established artists and not having to prove anything to anyone, Steve and his companions can give free rein to their creativity.After the intro "Message To All" we start with the accelerator at the end of the stroke with "Life In Your Hand". The sound brought to mind the baddest Rages thanks to an impetuous rhythmic section. The inspiration of Pier Gonella only completes everything. The subsequent "Light Of Love" and "Dancing Shadows" slow down the rhythms, focusing more on the melody that comes from the guitar riffs and on the voice of Davide Dall’Orto, deep but scratchy when necessary. In any case, these two songs are a fine example of sought after heavy metal.The Priest oriented "Fire And Ice" has the great advantage of revisiting the sound of the English band by inserting ideas that, to an attentive listener, can remember certain solutions used by Mastercastle and Ruxt. Great refrain in "The Fly Of The Eagle" where 80's hard & heavy inflections are brilliantly mixed with a modern attitude. "... This is Rock And Roll too" (at the expense of the Italian title it is sung in English) recalls the Sentenced of "The Cold White Light" with a greater dose of melody. And in fact the harmonies are the added value of this work. Whether the component is epic, as in "Words And Weapons", or melancholy as in "Someday Love Will Come My Way", we are struck by the splendid interactions of guitars and keyboards and by the timbre of Davide Dall’Orto. Evocative, passionate, sometimes gloomy, or pungent, the talented singer manages to best interpret the atmospheres according to the piece. The closing Title Track still highlights the flair of Pier Gonella and the Athlantis."02.02.2020" is an honest album, played great, by serious and prepared musicians. It will certainly not be counted among the strong items of the genre, but it impeccably reflects Athlantis' passion for these sounds. If you have the previous CDs, the purchase is a must, if you want to get closer to their music it is a good starting point.
