Bio:
Coronatus is a German Symphonic metal band, formed in Ludwigsburg, Germany in 1999.Fronted by two female singers with contrasting voices and styles, the band has released four studio album since 2007.Originally founded in 1999 by vocalist Georgios Grigoriadis and drummer Mats Kurth, Coronatus released its debut single Von Engeln nur in 2002. In 2004, Grigoriadis left, and was replaced by not one but two singers, Carmen R. Schäfer and Viola Schuch. The permanent line-up was expanded in 2006 with the addition of guitarist Stefan Häfele, bassist Wolle Nillies and keyboardist Fabian Merkt.2007 saw the departure of Viola Schuch, who was replaced by Ada Flechtner.Chriz diAnno (bass) has played with the band in 2003, 2005–2006, and then again since 2007. Ada Flechtner left the band to devote full attention to her studies, but joined the German symphonic metal band Voices of Destiny in 2013, after their lead vocalist Maike Holzmann departed. Mid 2010, Natalia Kempin joined the band on the vocals and Dirk Baur joined the Band on Bass Guitar. On February 2, 2011, Natalia Kempin announced at her Facebook, that she leaves the band, due to different opinions about the band's music. Band, though, chose to represent her departure through posting of lies, stating, that decision was coming from them.The band follows in the style of established groups Nightwish and Epica. Their lyrics are in German, English and Latin, and their songs deal with life, interpersonal relationships, religion and death. Their musical style is melodic, rhythmic Gothic metal[1] with influences from symphonic metal, pagan metal and medieval metal.Songs are performed by two female singers whose styles are very different.The band's first contract was in June 2007 with record label Massacre Records and their first CD was released on 21 September 2007. Their second album was launched on 28 November 2008. The band has also taken part in several concerts with groups such as Haggard and Within Temptation.
Album:
11th full-length album.I've reviewed many of this German band's albums over the years, with their eleventh album, Dangerous Waters, the eighth I've taken on. Their output has been good as far as symphonic power metal goes, never terrible but not often rising much above the crowd. That is not the case with Dangerous Waters. The combination of female lead singers (a Coronatus staple) has rarely come together so smoothly as it does here, with two quite different vocalists meshing with one another and the music very well. The songwriting is some of the best I've heard this band produce, from the supremely catchy melodies of "Through the Brightest Blue" to the jolly reel of "A Seaman's Yarn," to the lovely, haunting ballad "Die Hexe und der Teufel" ("The Witch and the Devil"). The guitars have plenty of crunch and the keys plenty of majesty, but neither overshadows any of the other elements of the music. There's a balance between the power metal and operatic elements that Coronatus has rarely achieved in the past. There is an overall seafaring vibe to the album (makes sense, considering the title) but they never let the Celtic/sea shanty vibe run away with any of the compositions, nor do they get sucked into the cinematic black hole that so many other symphonic metal bands can't seem to avoid. Fans of female-fronted symphonic metal do take notice, Coronatus has delivered a winner with Dangerous Waters.
