Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal - E-Zine - April 2006 (Brazil)
[ http://www.progressiverockbr.com/ ]
Best Band and record of the month.
It is difficult to place Zenit into one single genre, their music oscillates in the fields of the Symphonic Progressive Rock although very progressive and melodic, also using touchs of the Neo-Progressive style, especially with the work on the guitar sounds, which is the real jewel in all songs, however, even mostly hard in some moments. Intricate keyboards arrangements are divided between delicious drums rhythm sounds and nice bass lines, one thing is very dominated on the songs and, there is real power and conviction on vocals, in fact you will find only pure emotions, crowned by the immense voice of Lorenzo Sonognini. Zenit delivers a kind of adventurous music that, will especially appeal to those who only appreciate harmonious, energetic and atmospheric instrumental. If you want some references, their music is heavily influenced by such bands as: "Strawbs", "Genesis", "Marillion", "Clepsydra", "Shakary" and "PFM" with touchs of "Pallas", "The Watch", "IQ", "Saga", "Jadis" and "Plackband". The quality of the CD itself is exceptionally fantastic, which keeps the tension up over the whole 64 minutes, most of the songs on the album are extensive and extremely delightful to the ears, but my favorites are: "Yin And Yang", "The City", "Devil
Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars!] |
