Metal Maidens Alantia - Remnants of a Dream review

from: http://www.metalmaidens.com/Cdreviews2y.htm

ALANTIA-Remnants Of A Dream (EP) (independent)
This band hails from Amsterdam in The Netherlands and this six track EP runs for forty minutes. The soprano voice of Liselot Mazee likes to push you into the well-known direction of the tons of gothic metal bands in this scene. However, I hear a slightly different approach in opener "Moondale”. I hear a sound, that marks two different music styles coming together. Gothic metal with a melodic touch, because of the soprano vocals and a heavy and rather brutal touch, because of the death metal grunts. Their melodic, slightly symphonic sound could even be very enjoyable for classic hard rock fans, that like the sound of IRON MAIDEN. Try to put these two styles into a blender and listen to the sound of ALANTIA with an open mind and you will be positively surprised. Just listen to the beginning of "Erase A Trace” and you’ll be devas ... Read more »

RHYS' VIEWZ - Alantia

ALANTIA

'Alantia'

Dutch Gothic Metal newcomers Alantia released their self-titled debut demo back in 2010, it sees the very essence of Dutch Gothic Metal that has captivated many across the globe, whilst not as symphonic or melodic as their fellow countrymen Within Temptation, the Gothic music certainly has no definitive contrast from both bands. The sextet from the capital Amsterdam prove that there is more to their country than windmills, clogs and canals, but in terms of power Alantia are more powerful than any cannabis used in the capital. With the keyboard developing the atmosphere, the other five members use all darkness summoned to finalise a promising Dutch Metal band.

Alantia krijgt nieuwe zangeres

Ongeveer een maand geleden ontving Alantia het vervelende nieuws dat Yvette ging stoppen met Alantia. Haar werkverplichtingen werden steeds moeilijker te combineren met het zingen in Alantia, en daarom heeft zij de beslissing genomen niet met Alantia verder te gaan. De band wil haar het aller beste wensen met haar (muzikale) carrière, en wij willen haar bedanken voor haar waardevolle bijdrage aan Alantia en de muziek.
En dus begon de jacht op een nieuwe zangeres. Niet veel later ontvingen wij bericht van Liselot. Zij kwam op auditie en wij waren allen zeer onder de indruk van haar zangprestaties. Toen besloten wij haar aan te nemen als nieuwe zangeres. Op dit moment is het zomervakantie en iedereen is met zijn eigen ding bezig. Maar, na de zomer zijn we keihard terug met een nieuwe zangeres!

Femme Metal Demo Review

Independent Release

Review By Tony Cannella

From The Netherlands, Alantia play good symphonic power metal with operatic vocals provided by Yvette. The bands new demo has just been made available and it is this style that dominates the 6-songs and over 30-minutes worth of music.

"Solitary Life" is a strong opener that starts off slow bu ... Read more »
