ULTIMATIUM - Follow The Star
Sometimes when we try to write a review and make the people understand what kind of music one band plays, we use so complicated terms and expressions that might create great confusion. You see, many times we have to write a review for two or more bands that play in the shame way and it happens to like more the one the other. What I want to say is that it's not always easy to justify why you like or dislike something. I believe that you also have felt many times the same way. Now, you must be wondering whya I am writing all these things. Well, the answer is that as you know from my previous reviews, I am not a big fan of euro - power metal, especially the one that is influenced from STRATOVARIUS. But exceptions break the rule. CELESTY and ULTIMATIUM belong to this exception. First of all I have to state that I am very impressed with the progress of this band. You see I have listened to their previous demo as well, but this one is improved in many ways. First of all my friend Matti has finally a stable band and line - up and he doesn't use guest musicians. Secondly, all the compositions on this demo are excellent examples of how inspired, melodic power metal should be played! Also the singer of ULTIMATIUM has a wonderful voice and in some parts his voice brought to my mind Tobias Sommet of EDGUY. If you like bands like STRATOVARIUS, RHAPSODY, EDGUY and EUROPE, then you can't ignore this demo! Really an amazing work that many bands with contract will envy. One of the best demos that I heard this year! All the songs included in this demo (4) are very good, so don't ask me for favorite ones , cause simply it's very difficult for me to pick out!
