Everfrost - "Actraiser" (lyric video)
Μαζί με το φθινόπωρο ήρθε και ο νέος δίσκος των Everfrost. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Winterider" και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών. Οι Everfrost δημιουργήθηκαν τυπικά προ τετραετίας - ουσιαστικά προ εξαετίας (ως Snowkid). Φινλανδικό συγκρότημα συμφωνικού power metal που έχει κυκλοφορήσει δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα ep, ένα single κι ένα live album (συν έναν full length δίσκο κι ένα single ως Snowkid)...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Third single from Finnish symphonic power metallers Everfrost coming out with the sophomore album 'Winterider', OUT NOW via Rockshots Records!
Actraiser started with a hooky chorus idea which developed the rest of the song to have a 'happy-sad' vibe to it; presenting powerful and heavy anime-inspired musical ideas with a dynamic, melancholic undertone. The song's story features one of the characters in Winterider who believes he has magical powers and can protect his friends from danger.
His nerdy girlfriend believes in his 'powers' yet the other characters aren't convinced. This leads to him doubting and hating himself toward the middle of the song, with the ending showing his friends coming together to support him. These ideas are carried along by dramatic vocal lines and rich harmony work throughout the sections of the song.
Winterider will be a unique undertaking for a metal/rock band, as it will be the combination between a fully coherent manga comic and a conceptual album. The story will feature characters from their debut album "Blue Eyed Emotion".
The music includes generous use of catchy melodies and heavy riffs, plenty of guitar and keyboard solos, a large instrumental variety from orchestral to electronic and energetic drumming. The vocals consist of operatic and power metal-inspired male vocals, occasionally including female vocals and harsh vocals as a contrast.
The band’s lyrical themes deal with escapism, death/loss and fantasy. 10 Freezing Songs Of A Harsh Winter Tale! The album features Asim Searah from Wintersun as special guest on "Above The Treeline", and includes a cover version of "Die Young" originally By Kesha.
The Album will be available in a Digipak Deluxe CD Edition with 24 Pages Booklet included Manga Comic!»
Everfrost: «Winterider launches the listener into the world of Everfrost once again for a new story. A brutal winter that came and never left is disrupting the peace in Everfrost, bringing panic and depressing times to the residents.
The main characters fight against the cold and sorrow however in this defiant anthem, trying to enjoy their young adult life in a hidden city no one is allowed to leave from. The song features huge keyboard strings, catchy guitar riffs and an anime-esque chorus, not to forget guitar and keyboard solo dueling and powerful gang cries. The song is a 'get up and go' for anyone who needs it in hard times.»
