Tonight, it is Tarja, the singer, that I came to listen and see. And it is with a real pleasure that I discover that the Tunisian ones of MYRATH are, what's more French of BENIGHTED SOUL, equally party. After cracking on their last album, Tales From The Sand , (commented on here even. Normal, we are not the better webzine Metal of the universe for nothing! No, frankly, it is even not me who the says, I hear that everywhere, of the "IT IS really the better ones" or "What, you know not Metal Intégral, are you too naze!" and a lot of other things of the kind. If, if, it is true! *) It delays me to discover the group on scene.
MYRATH profits tonight of one (small) about thirty of minutes, as well as, it is sufficiently rare for an opening group for that I notice it, of lights more correct ones. After an entry in scene a shy tantinet (MYRATH is preceded by an eastern dancer that will punctuate the benefit of the Tunisian ones while coming back to 3 returns), the group takes his envol. The eastern rhythms do wipes, the public, already consequent, showing itself sensitive to this mixture that I had qualified here even of Hard Raï or Raï Metal (normal, also, we are creative extremist, with Metal Integral, from which, certainly, the mentioned remarks higher), terms that take all their measure tonight. Six titles principally extracts of the last album (only Madness is coming from the preceding one, Desert Call), a good talkative mood (Zaher ZORGATTI, excellent vocally, takes even the time to let the public sing and to communicate with him) transform this concert put some in mouth more appetizing.
Setlist MYRATH : Sour Sigh, Braving The Seas, Merciless Times, Tales Of The Sands, Madness, Beyond The Stars
For two weeks that BENIGHTED SOUL division the poster with TARJA, I imagine that the French have had any leisure to perfect again their approach the scene. Their Metal mixture at once symphonic and progressive influences, and knows to remain catchy. A radically different and perfectly supplementary style the one of MYRATH and head of poster.
Conducted one by Géraldine GADAUT, the troop nancéenne benefits from an undisputable capital sympathy and has any leisure to show his good mood and his never put effectiveness to the test. The epic song of the turns brown leader is sometimes, always judiciously, perturbed by guttural spiteful anger of the bass player Jean-Gabriel BOCCIARELLI. The only difficulty that meets BENIGHTED SOUL is the length of its pieces, varied and complex. Only five titles are presented in almost forty minutes. Despite the undeniable qualities of the formation, how can BENIGHTED SOUL it really mark down itself in this universe of the Metal Symphonic overcrowded aujourd’hui? For even armed of a very album positively noticed (Start From Scratch, 2011) and offering of the very warm concerts, it is necessary the small one "more" that will do the difference. It is aujourd’hui that that BENIGHTED SOUL must find. No one doubts nevertheless, and that confirms itself by the crowd that follows to the stand of merchandising, that the public will keep the tonight benefit, a new effective and likable time.
Setlist BENIGHTED SOUL : Broken Icons, Start From Scratch, Edge Of Insanity, Stranger Me, No Warning Signs
Since his departure of NIGHTWISH in 2004, Tarja TURUNEN proposed varied albums, indeed risked, for finally to return, with his last opus (What Lies Beneath appeared one in 2010) towards the style that rendered famous it, the Metal Symphonic one.
When the lights extinguish themselves, every member of the group (violoncelliste include) takes places on a baroque introduction, then Tarja, masked, starts a Anteroom Of Death behind a gigantic sail - printed of the envelope of the last album - that, as an invisible and almost intangible barrier the separates public to which one, nevertheless, she stretches the hand without succeeding in touch it. But when the beautiful grave the mask and unveils itself at last, the sail falls also. And the public leaves to explode his joy to rediscover so close of him this divine diva. For close, Tarja wants the being; proof is some the absence of barrier of security or of pit for the photographers, at last lodged to the same sign that everyone. As early as the end of this first title, and often during this evening, Tarja is part of his happiness to rediscover Paris and his so faithful public. The concert will be besides only punctuated by mouse and of kindness (and of heat… Devil that the Bataclan heats quickly with a full border!). Tarja connait perfectly the strings of the trade and communicates a lot with his public.
Quickly, nevertheless, the scene empties itself of its occupying (after only five played pieces), leaving alone the drummer to play a long solo. And a solo of battery of Mike TERRANA, that does not refuse itself. It is a greediness that must enjoy to his just value. The sly devil the concludes of a " Vive la France ! " (as I understand it!) Before to take itself for John BONHAM and finish his work to nude hands. The musical others the rejoin for a long introduction to Little Lies that allows the mistress of ceremony to change itself for the first time.
After an escapade of the side of NIGHTWISH with Bless The Child that rouses the public, the group completely installs itself to the in front of scene to offer a medley in an environment of music of room, a little more intimate and more calm than the public welcomes with bow and an almost devotion.
THE energy returns next the time of two titles before that does not ring the hour of the reminders. Some minutes later, Tarja income in a new one held, this time of a white immaculate one, for three extracts of three periods of his life: the return of Gary MOORE, Over The Hills And far Away face on the album live of the same name of the original group of the singer, followed by Die Alive, extracts of My Winter Storm before concluding with Until My Last Breath pulled one of his small last one. The six musicians come then to greet the public and Tarja recovers, in this evening end to the not pleasure feigns, letters and gifts that stretch him its fans.
even if TARJA, the group, will be able only with difficulty to attain the level of popularity of NIGHTWISH, the singer, immense of generosity, knows to be able to count, to just title, on the devotion of its fans. A spectacle all in emotions, smile, pleasures… in a word: Happiness.
