Band: Project Arcadia (BG) Genre: Heavy Metal / Power Metal Label: Nightmare Records Albumtitle: A Time Of Changes Duration: 45:53 Releasedate: 09.09.2014 Project Arcadia released their first album "From The Desert Of Desire" five years ago. Since then many things changed for the Bulgars. A change of the lineup was made on the guitars and drums. Also the position on the microphone was newly filled by the Swedish, nowadays living in the USA, singer Urban Breed (ex-Tad Morose, ex- Bloodbound, Trail Of Murder). The new album contents clearly to the point played heavy metal, which is presented with passion and much melody. Full, genuine sounding drums and an omnipresent, but not too intrusive bass, care for a secure rhythm section. Sometimes fast double bass figures, sometimes a stamping with much power played drums, which is now and then also reserved fitting the current theme of the songs. It can be heared greatly within the ballad "I Am Alive" or the emotional "The Ungrateful Child". Fresh crunchy riffs, great solos, which are exactly dosed regarding their length, deliver a distinct character for each of the songs. Well memorable riffs, concise melodies and short bridges, which are greatly arranged without losing sight of the flow of play. Fortunately, unnecessary trying was renounced. It's no need to proof something in here and it seems they know what they’re able to. It’s really out of question that the gentlemen did their homework. Urban Breed delivers a singing, which carries much volume within, but at the same time can also be emotional and passing within the higher pitches. All in all Project Arcadia delivers an album with world-class-niveau hereby. Okay, the short "Joy", which is solely played by a plucked guitar, underlined with guitar swells as well as fine artificial sounds, could have confidently get refrained from. Conclusion: If you expect rock-hard neck-breaking riffs, your're wrong with this one. However, if you like great melodies, clearly played instruments and well thought out arrangements, you can get yourself "A Time Of Changes" without worries.
