Free Music Notes for Queen of Light
Free Music Review: Good but could have been better
Hit: 3 Stars
A year ago I discovered Imperia on one of the social networking sites I belong to. I am a big fan of gothic metal music fronted by women. I certainly liked what I heard from the samples I had heard. Not too long ago I finally got around to buying their latest album QUEEN OF LIGHT. For the most part, QUEEN OF LIGHT is a solid gothic metal album. Solid drumming, heavy basslines, aggressive guitar riffs, and big operatic vocals from Helena Michaelsen. Unfortunately what bogs down the album is: a) silly lyrics, and b) the oversinging by Helena. Now I am not expecting Shakespeare type lyrics but I certainly don't want to hear such atrocious dreck like "R*ped by the Devil". I would expect that garbage from bands like Cradle of Filth and Children of Bodom. The lyrics for "Missing You" is pretentious as heck. Then there is Helena's vocals. She tends to overdo it for me. Personally she pales in comparison to ex-Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen. Her vocals really irks me on "The Calling" which I equate it to nails on a chalkboard. My personal favorite song on the entire album is "Facing Reality". The pop hooks in that song is super catchy. I also like "Mirror", and "Broken Wings". Although I have given this album four stars, I feel like it is more worthy of 3.5 stars. The material was 50/50 with me. QUEEN OF LIGHT has its moments but unfortunately it has its fair share of flaws.
Queen of Light Poster
Imperia is an atmospheric metal band who's sound is especially evident by the distinguished and remarkable strong voice of Helena Iren Michaelsen (ex- Trail Of Tears), who sings in a variety of styles from deep emotional feelings to extreme operatic expressions. The music is full of vivacity, it is heavy, bombastic and orchestral, but it also contains elements of pure metal. The band is a true cross-border unit of musicians originating from different countries: Norway, Finland, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. Through hard work and extensive touring the band has earned its reputation as a powerful live band.Imperia is an Atmospheric Metal Band Who's Sound is Especially Evident by the Distinguished and Remarkable Strong Voice of Helena Iren Michaelsen (Ex- Trail of Tears), who Sings in a Variety of Styles from Deep Emotional Feelings to Extreme Operatic Expressions.
