Review:
Majestic - Abstract Symphony
A nice mix between Yngwie Malmsteen , Stratovarius and Symphony
X is what Majestic plays. This album is filled with nice riffs, played in a very good kind
of power/neoclassical metal style.
There are some negative things though, sometimes is sounds like a Yngwie Malmsteen ripoff,
like on "Black Moon Rising". That riff is just so EXTREMELY like Yngwie's
"Deja Vu" that I sometimes start to wonder...
This cd kind of changes from being pure classical-inspired power metal ("Golden
Sea", "Crimson Sun", "Nitro Pitbull" - which sounds like a
classic Stratovarius riff), to being pure Yngwie/Europe kind of neoclassical hardrock
("Ceasefire", "Seekers Battlefield").
Though they might be not too original, the music rules... Hence, go get it!
