Visionatica, "Enigma Fire" Album Review!
Hey, those who have joined my blog, Visions Of Avalon. I am here to review a fantastic sophomore album by symphonic metal band, Visionatica, who hail from the country, Germany. They are led by the gorgeous front woman, Tamara Amedov, who makes the sound of their new release, Enigma Fire, explode. Three tracks were released with videos via Youtube prior to the album's full release, "The Pharaoh," "Fear" and "Roxana, The Great." We will be talking about these songs because of their dynamic sound, but I also want to focus on the ballad "Incomplete," because of its truly meaningful message. Of course, this German release is available in digital release, on such platforms as iTunes for your iPhone, and, of course, Google Play, the album being just 9.49 USD there, and $1.29 USD there per track. Grab this awesome 9-track album before this band becomes big like industry front-runners Nightwish and Xandria, because after hearing Enigma Fire, it's clear that they are heading to super stardom.
I'm obsessed with Visionatica's choice of instruments in this release. It's what I've came to expect from current symphonic metal bands, but it impresses me nonetheless. After being blown away by "Fear" and its encouraging messages to face my inner demons, I didn't think they could top this track. The lyric video the band made for this song really spoke to me. Who was the technical wizard who designed this modern marvel? Blessings be upon them. "The Pharaoh", however, was beyond amazing. Tamara dressed up in an authentic Isis-like costume, complete with wings, that left me stunned in the music video. The sound of the song carried a message that we should be careful when digging up the tombs of people's ancestors. This message of the album continued on with "Roxana The Great" which is the story of the fabled wife of Alexander The Great and the mother of his heir, and it hints at what could be Tamara's own mysterious Greek Pagan roots. Tamara? Roxana? Do you see the connection?
Before we stop the show, as she meant to do with this wonderful album, I need to talk about the slow ballad "Incomplete." This song brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. Is this about you Tamara, or so much about me and the others? Visionatica responded to me on Instagram saying, "No it's not about Tamara ;)" but who are they kidding? She's truly worthy of all of our affection as she plummets into a tricky genre that is Symphonic Metal, and I do say this was a successful stage dive all of their own! Okay, gloating about this woman aside, I want to say that this band offers their works at a very affordable price for you to own digitally in the states. With many of us unable or unwilling in the states to pay for the shipping overseas, we can easily buy it on the digital platform iTunes for the price of 10.99 USD for the full album. It's worth it just to grab the previously mentioned four tracks on this album release for your Apple device, and you get phenomenal extra tracks the entire album length, too! If you missed their initial release, "Force Of Luna" featuring the tracks "She Wolf", "Swamp Of The World" and "Lilith" be sure to nail down that release for purchase, too! Bands like Visionatica rely on your support to produce more music, and, of course, pay their bills! I'm discouraging piracy because it hurts people like my soulful wannabe friend, Tamara, and it pains me to think that she doesn't get her proper credit. Someday, tour in the states, girl! I'll be there front row! Maybe backstage, too, if I'm rich! Until then, this has been Bryan Smithson, AKA Demeter's Chosen, with all the nitty gritty on the latest music for your journey! Buy Enigma Fire by Visiontica, before they are dead famous and selling out concert halls all over the world!
