Bio:
Windrow is an Italian melodic power metal band that was formed back in 2002.
Album:
The fifth album of Power Metallers from Rome called Windrow is a good album in outline, but penalized for all 49 minutes of duration by a series of inaccuracies in details that make the album much more niche and less salable than the one could be, and it's a shame as the instrumental technical performance, especially of the lead guitar, is not bad for all "Executive Countdown" that can make us listen to the beautiful solo escapes.In fact, just listen to "Over wild" to understand what's wrong: the sound quality for some strange reason sacrifices the rhythm guitar and makes the sound of this CD very thin, but it is above all the voice that sometimes does not sound precise and too shaky in certain highs, as if the singer was unable to sing on sonorities too high for him. To all this is added a musical personality is not excellent for a band that is now on the fifth album, and that more often than not relegate the songs like this to a simple tribute to Helloween or Edguy. And if listening to "Live out" confirms these inaccuracies, it is clear with the following songs that the Windrows use (and misuse a little) too much these stylistic choices without having or show the ability to do anything else in their tracks. It is an example of this "World collides", a song that plays the card of the slow but choppy and melodic tempo, and that still sees the singer going to end on very high voices without there being a real need. That said, from now on the next part of the album becomes more listenable, both because you get used to the sound, and because there is a better balance of the parts that bring out the sixth, the seventh and the ninth song, but is the tenth song, which proposes a meditative ballad, to highlight the defects of the sung, with vocal lines chosen too long and taking too many notes, making the various parts difficult to memorize or sing, a sign that beyond a certain impact, Windrow does not shine for the effectiveness of the sung.In short: "Executive countdown" is not an odious record, but because of the aforementioned defects, it plays me niche and also wastes a lot of potential. Abnormal situation for a band that, incredibly, arrived at the fifth album does not yet know how to exploit it optimally, and since the competition around is very fierce in this genre, there is the great possibility that this album pales when compared with others from underground groups, both Italian and foreign. Purchase recommended only to lovers of power metal.
