Elysium

"Dreamlands"

What to say on Elysium, well... it is a quintet that... mmm. To tell the truth already at first sight he didn't wait too much of "Dreamlands", with a quite insipid cover art and those typical dark photos, good boys' faces and that atmosphere already view in so many disks... in short. When I listened the first chords in "Six cold days" I tried to guess: the Elysium would be another German band or Dane put in that species of death sophisticated metal, of those that are gone up to the car of which the Amorphis descended enough time ago; good, they already know... pleasant melodies, rotten voices and some lacking keyboards of ideas. Let us don't make a mistake therefore (Poland is exactly under Denmark), and God willing it had followed the disk in that half height. But not... and there is not form of continuing this it ascends and it lowers. A boring acceptable, other topic, then another without transcendency, heard... this it is better. The second theme, "Sister moon" already flirted with my tedium, but good, those things to the style of the old Tiamat are well, they shake the thoughts and they bring to the memory old and dear classic... but I don't know, I should be me that gorged of the style... a delicate light illuminated my hope in the best song in the disk, the expressive "Suicidal angels", but it already averaged half of the disk and as it advances he becomes less and less interesting... although  "Dreamlands" is not bad, neither it is to leave running to look for it before they win you of hand, some copy will surely be waiting always for you. Ten themes, headdresses correctly, with a better and very not very more production I can say... is it more, did I already forget... Of what was speaking to them?
