WINGDOM - Reality

US Release : LCO494

Without forgetting its Finnish Melodic Metal roots, "Reality" is not a new release of Power Metal, even if you'll be able to find in the line up Alessandro Lotta (ex Rhapsody) and Mikko Harkin (ex Sonata Artica). At the opposite of the majority of the new Finnish bands, Wingdom chose to play a classy Progressive Metal a bit in the vain of a Vanden Plas but however a bit more melodic and less technical and complex. Actually, the music of Wingdom is just a great mix between Melodic Metal and Progressive music and it will please the ones who like Prog like the ones who like Heavy or Power. The performance of all the musicians is extremely convincing. We hear a lot the Keyboards of Mikko Harkin but it fits perfectly to the music of the band and at the opposite give something complex and deep to the different songs. Alessandro Lotta, Markus Niemispelto and Jukka Ruotsalainen don't have any problem too and the performance of Sami Asp in his difficult role of Progressive Metal singer is really nice. With a great production and a lot of nice songs like the melodic hit "Where Do We Go?" or the progressive "Lighthouse" and "Lighthouse Pt2." "Reality" is just a good album.
