Métal Intégral - Review / ELVENSTORM

When the savoy wakes up!

Approximate translation of the review

Chronicling the first demo of a group whose members are two excellent knowledge for some years now, is always a delicate exercise

... Anyway I had heard in demo tracks on their Myspace and style I liked, I was on a record that I know well, the Heavy Metal à la 80’s !

Mickael and Laura form a beautiful couple and incidentally they have the same passion, that's Heavy Metal ! Then make a group in which Mickael would be on guitar and vocals Laura was only a formality! Reinforced by
to Damien ELVENSTORM bass is almost ready to conquer the universe ofUnderground ! Almost, because at that moment they lack a drummer! Given the quality of the demo that should quickly make somebody join!

The demo is offered as a pouch with a pretty sober CDR , which goes to the essential!

Four titles are available and I shall classify them into three categories ...

Winds Of War and Rebirth are the first two and perfect in every way! The Laura song reminds me immediately of the Holy Mother Teuton Heavy Metal , ie Doro to WARLOCK times (and even better than Burning The Witches in 1984)!
Mickael The rhythmic input show excellent control and power at the height of the great song of Laura ! If
of WARLOCK, you will also find other influences expensive these young Chambéry, RUNNING WILD, LONEWOLF and their friends!
All is well in place, soli are aerated, long and direct, the melodies are there, as the power and fluidity! Securities Headbanger live on it!

Raven In A Blackened Sky is composed differently, with an approach and a sound to the LONEWOLF recent albums. A title over, heavy, darker (you tell me that saw the track, Un corbeau dans le ciel sombre...) but full of subtlety and nuance. This medium allows title to better place his Laura votes, on the dressed rhythm changes proposed by Mickael and Damien. The break and the recovery are perfect! This rhythm will do damage for sure! A beautiful title that also could have appeared on an album of WARLOCK !

Black Visions démo this end the "less good" titles, I would have placed before. Black Visions will be in line with the first two this time with a rhythmic sound that can recall the Waiting For The Twilight to NIGHTMARE (1984) and I love!
This title despite a long and beautiful solo, rhythm and lack singing the famous "little extra". A good title anyway. In the end

Savoie for the year of its annexation to France had to nominate its representatives to the world! This was done with ELVENSTORM and I wish a good and long wind!

In any case the potential is already there, it's obvious, although there will always be things to improve for a first album!
Side "sympathy" when you meet members of the group they are always smiling and it's great! Note that

to Dams LONEWOLF Black Visions performs a solo and that démo is available from the group for 5 euros.
