(Melodic Power Metal) Morgana - Angel - 2001, MP3 (tracks), 320 kbps

Hey, finally some Power Metal from Italy, a rare novelty

Are MORGANA in any way different or even better than their brethren? Not really. They tread the much-trodden paths across the melodic plains of Power Metal with a few classical undertones here and there, and especially the not too capital vocals by Marco Mesemi, also anything but supported by the rather weak production in that area, just won't get beyond mediocre and takes away even more of the already quite slim appeal of the compositions.

Stuff like "The Syndrome" (in my opinion the best track on "Angel"), "The Downfall Of Rain" or the ballad "Angel" can be listened to without second thought, but with all those other bands that have released more electrifying and better albums in this style, who should buy this? Also the cover of the Ozzy-song "Road To Nowhere" cannot make me revise my opinion on this one.

Absolutely mediocre, "extra medium", so to say, doesn't hurt anybody, but nobody needs that...
