Bio:
A disc bearing the title "Power of Warrior" needs to be obvious, powerful. The album paulistana heavy metal band Armored Dawn is not only powerful, it is warrior, with songs that seem called to battle. The title sounds perfect. Formed in 2011 by musician and singer Eduardo Parras, the band released last year the album "Viking Soul", which clearly showed his concern on display an accurate sound. Guitars, bass and drums followed the thinner metal primer, but keyboards and other sounds not always associated with the genre trusted to drive a captivating uniqueness. This search for sound refinement took this year the band one of the most important recording studios in Europe, Jailhouse Studios in the Danish town of Horsens. Who commands is Tommy Hansen. The mere mention of the name can leave gooseflesh fans of Helloween. It was Hansen who produced the main disc of the German band, including two volumes of "Keeper of the Seven Keys" (1987-88), real treaty of power metal. The Armored Dawn wanted to re-record the tracks Hansen of "Viking Soul", using all the experience of the producer and his studio technology. Resulted "Power of Warrior", designed in digital stereo mixing tip, hard disk recording with Pro Tools HD3 Accel 96 system, with good old roll of tape recorder and 24 channels, dedicated equipment for decades by bands today are classic rock calls. The release of the album celebrates the current lineup of the band. Parras has beside bassist Fernando Giovannetti, keyboardist Rafael Agostino, the guitarists James de Moura and Timo Kaarkoski, Finnish long ago in Brazil, and new drummer Rodrigo Oliveira. What you hear is a journey for combat scenes, warrior pride and atmosphere of medieval tales in letters of Parras in fluent English. Framing his deep voice in the ten songs on the album, instrumental pieces alternate between more accelerated tracks and other somewhat slower, engaging. Even when the band is dedicated to record a ballad like "My Heart," Parras follows his profession of faith in the heroic figure. The letter speaks of a warrior who finds himself alone and recalls the taste of distant lover's lips. Certainly it will always be one of the great moments in the shows of Armored Dawn. The song that gives name to the album was born with instant classic features. A delicate melodic line came briefly a martial drums, as a call to war, followed by a sumptuous coral. Then the guitars come angry, and voice calls Parras: "Nights made to fight / if you believe in me / my soul is screaming for you / I'm here." The epic tone is always present in songs with introductions fisgam metal fan in the first chords. "Prison" begins gradually, with each instrument coming in as a new sound layer, to form a metal-bodied anthem. "Far Away" opens with a low killer line, then the other instruments heavy attack. And hear "Too Blind to See" is felt as the battery looks like a horse galloping hallucinating. The Armored Dawn falls into the sameness of so many heavy bands that use keyboards only to introduce softer moments in the middle of pauleira. The Armored Dawn knows how interweaving keyboards with fast riffs and furious guitars. Jon Lord would like to hear this record. "Power of Warrior" is more than a sample of a great heavy band. It is a statement of intent of a group that comes to win followers. As Eduardo Parras sings in "Viking Soul": "We will fight all the time, do not ask me why." Thanks to this record, the Armored Dawn has begun to attract the attention of foreigners. Proof of this is that when it was still called Mad Old Lady, the band was the only one in Brazil to participate in the Motörhead cruise in 2015, the latter with Lemmy Kilmister, who died the same year.
