Album:

Italian melodic metal band Stranger Vision, which recently signed with German label Pride & Joy Music, unveils the first details of its upcoming debut album “Poetica” to be be released on March 26, 2021! “Poetica” is a long musical journey showing SV’s talent for creating memorable riffs, epic vocal melodies, compelling rhythms, moderate orchestrations, while working out a quite unique conceptual approach for the genre. The interest of SV in human sciences – with special regard to literature, poetry and philosophy - is deepened in thoughtful lyrics, yet open to free interpretation. “Poetica” is not a concept album, but the universal value of the topics will thrill the listener at least as much as the band’s music. “Poetica” features some prestigious international special guests, such as Zachary Stevens (Savatage, Circle II Circle, Archon Angel), Alessandro Conti (Trick Or Treat, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, Twilight Force), Alessia Scolletti (Temperance), Fabio Dessi (Hollow Haze, Arthemis) and Guido Benedetti (Trick Or Treat). Drums, bass and guitars were recorded by Simone Bertozzi at Domination Studio, while the vocals were captured at White Studio in Modena by Ivan Adami, SV’s frontman. The mixing and mastering duties were handled by Simone Mularoni (DGM) at the renowned Domination Studio in San Marino. The artwork was created by Alessandro Conti: “We are very proud to have Alessandro Conti's sign on our cover. First of all he's a friend of ours; secondly he's an artist and a singer who we appreciate. He seems to have a magic talent for everything he does. He also has the same musical background as us and understood perfectly what we wanted to portray in our cover. We are very satisfied with his work”, comments the band. “Even if I don’t make so many covers because I’m very busy as musician and tattoo artist, when I was asked by Ivan to take care of graphic concept of Stranger Vision debut album, I said yes. And taking part of the record as guest singer, we have come full circle”, adds Alessandro Conti.

Stranger Vision - Wasteland (2022)













Year : 2022
Style : Melodic Heavy Metal , Melodic Power Metal
Country : Italy
Audio : 320 kbps + all scans
Size : 138 mb

Bio:

Stranger Vision are a melodic metal band.Their sound is based on powerful riffs enriched with melodic and orchestral arrangements.This is made deeper by the research on the lyrics’ subject, which are based on literature and poetry both ancient and modern.

Album:

Classic melodic modern power-prog metal is how I would attempt to describe this new release from Stranger Vision. Full of ripping guitars, thunderous drums and unique electronic soundscapes, there is a lot to take from this release. There are plenty of bands in the respective genre but few who sound quite as unique as Stranger Vision, and I believe that says a lot about the effort put into this record musically.As I hinted at before, so many bands in this genre release the same sounding album one after another and offer nothing new to push themselves or the style forward. The production is extremely complimentary to the music and musicians on each track and provides a near “anthem” like quality to certain tracks such as “Desolate Sea”.The vocals aid the album monumentally and are always strong, clear and concise. The vocal style and flare fits into the instrumentation very well, never taking the listener out of the music. The album is full of orchestral and electronic sounds that underline most of the songs. It never feels forced or obtuse but rather feels like an underlying fabric of the album, which is the way it should be presented. I feel that is an accomplishment within itself, being that oftentimes bands use electronic aids but usually go too far and overtake the mix. The only downside to me is the flow of the album. I feel at times the tracks should be arranged in a different order to ensure a better listening experience. All in all this is a solid effort from Stranger Vision.

Album:

Melodic metal band STRANGER VISION will release their new album “Faust Act I: Prelude To Darkness“, a concept album divided into two parts inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s timeless masterpiece, ‘Faust’. The Japanese edition includes a bonus track.This narrative delves into the depths of the human soul, exploring the conflict between ambition and morality, and the relentless search for meaning. Each track reflects a different aspect of Faust’s inner journey, featuring powerful riffs, intense vocal sections, and keyboards and synths that amplify the story’s dramatic tension.STRANGER VISION formed in 2019 and their main characteristics are technical mastery, elaborated melodies and at the time of recording, impressive production and mix. There’s many influences into their sound, being the most noticeable early ’90s Dream Theater.Well, it’s no surprise to find James LaBrie as guest vocalist in one of the album first singles; (watch the video below).‘Strive’ is a powerful opening to this conceptual journey, capturing the intense dialogue between God and Mephistopheles about the human condition and the relentless quest for understanding that defines Faust’s character. With its intricate melodies and evocative lyrics, “Strive” sets the tone for an album that possesses impressive songwriting & musicianship.“Faust Act I: Prelude To Darkness” is a really well done classic prog metal album a splashes of commercial power metal, all time melodic, interesting, with lyrical depth and complex orchestrations.
