Great Master are hailing from Italy, and have been active since 1993 but I must admit I have never heard of them until this album. This is band’s sixth album and it is a concept album about story written by Alexandre Dumas, ‘Count of Montecristo’ and the music is epic and nice, ultra melodic power metal with some symphonic and prog metal touches thrown in for good measure. Atmosphere is different on this album’s 13 songs depending the part of the story where we are currently and what part of the story are we listening. Keyboards and flute only add to already great songwriting thus creating epic verse melodies, choruses full of harmony and some songs just made for pumping your fist in the air and singing along to at gigs, which I am sure are fantastic judging by listening to this album where every detail of the album fits just perfectly into its place with superb vocals, backing vocal harmonies which are important for music such as this. If you are not familiar with the story, go check out this classic novel, it would be my recommendation for you. If I must choose some songs as a highlight for this album it would be ‘Where The Shame Lives’, ‘My Name’ and ‘Final Revenge’. If you love your power metal ultra melodic, concept based and above all with great songwriting check out this album.
“A song about being true to who you are“, says singer Brent Waterworth.
Taken Days is a melodic pop punk rock trio from Orange County, California. The band was established in 2017. After two EP releases, Taken Days’ debut full-length album “Every Second…” was released by Wiretap Records in March of 2021. With the collaboration of producer Cameron Webb, the album quickly gained momentum and created bigger opportunities and a larger following for the band.
In early 2023 Taken Days finished their second full-length album. Working again with producer Cameron Webb, but on this endeavor, they spend over one year crafting the songs through rehearsals, demos, and preproduction meetings. This effort has enhanced the band’s songwriting dynamic to include a faster and edgier sound, while not abandoning the band’s mid-tempo/ pop punk/ emo/ big chorus with the two lead singers’ signature sound. This latest effort will surely become a fan favorite and turn the heads of others who had not previously given the band their attention. The new album titled “Any Minute” will be released through SBÄM Records in Europe and 55Rose Records in North America in the fall of 2023.
