Reviews MISTWEAVER - AGE OF DARKNESS - GOLDEN LAKE
Spain's Mistweaver is a complex and layered band both vocally and musically. The band studiously avoids its mention, but the most apt description for the band's style is 'power metal.' The gruff vocals make Mistweaver - fantastic name - sound more extreme and there is a lot of guitar at work on Age Of Darkness, but the band has, in its wisdom, chosen to incorporate K&F into metal. The Iron Maiden-ish passages are hardly rare though and despite the symphonic or dreamy interludes the band still has songs of note. De Profundis is probably the best of the bunch. The Spaniards have travelled to Finland in order to record the album, yet a better drum sound is still in order. All in all, Mistweaver has what it takes to gain momentum and collect a fan base. It needs to remove the keyboards, the questionable backing vocals and folk-oriented songs like Eternal Rest and concentrate on delivering the elaborate metal that is almost within its grasp. - Ali "The Metallian"
