Sym p hon ic Meta l. Pa rt 2
The last four years of
the old millennium have
brought a truly promising
start for the symphonic
metal.
We have that as a proof
from bands which brought
us new things in 2001.
Dutch band After Forev-
er released the album Deci-
pher which is a very honor-
able and precise follow-up
to their highly successful
debut. It contains songs
like “Zenith”, “Decipher ”,
“Monolith of Doubt”, the
two-parts song “My Pledge
of Allegiance” or their
amazing ballad “Imper-
fect Tenses”, which proves
that the band is already
very mature. The album is
the first one that also has
a live orchestra and live
choir.
Another amazing album re-
leased in this year was the
second studio album Ar-
cana by Edenbridge. I will
mention songs like “A Mo-
ment of Time”, “Color My
Sky” or their nearly 10 min-
utes long title song “Arca-
na”. Album is definitely not
behind with quality from
