Lionsoul - Welcome Storm

2017 release. Bergamo, the capital of the province of the same name, and nestled in Lombardy, is one of the most attractive tourist destinations of northern Italy. In the future, this town will also be connected to the power metal quintet Lionsoul who now present their second long player Welcome Storm. On it, the band pushes their style into driving tracks which are clearly influenced by the European power metal elite. Lionsoul are definitely a positive exception on the Italian scene - they stay away from the typical scheme of things which take the form of very high vocals, fast riffing and classical-bombastic, exaggerated keyboard parts. Welcome Storm is power metal as it should be - heavy, lively, raw and still melodic. Fans of European classical power metal will find nine great metal songs on Welcome Storm, all of which glowing with impressive power chords and impressive vocals. Welcome Storm is an exciting, impressive power metal statement made by this young band from Bergamo, and something which is a welcome addition to the power metal scene.
