Neopera are a band from Germany that plays a symphonic form of metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "Destined Ways" which will be released on August 29 by Armoury Records.
Dark sounding keyboards start off the album along with some guitars which leads up to some operatic female vocals and death metal growls which takes the music into more of a gothic and symphonic metal direction and you can also hear a classical orchestra in the bands musical style and the solos and leads the band uses are more in a melodic metal direction.
Clean singing male vocals can be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the guitars going for more of a modern progressive metal direction while also adding a decent amount of power metal elements into their musical sound and the solos and leads also bring a neo-classical feeling to the recording at times and they also bring in a few long and epic in length tracks as well as adding in some thrash and psychedelic rock influences.
Neopera combine classical music, gothic and extreme metal together to create a very original sounding album that adds something new to the metal genre, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and mythology themes.
In my opinion Neopera are a very great sounding symphonic metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Call To Arms" "Falling Water" "Error" and "The Unspeakable". 8 pout of 10.
