Review:

Brazilians Thy Symphony have a history going back to 2001, but they have suffered a lot of trials and tribulations along the way, and it has taken an enormous amount of dedication and perseverance to finally release this debut album. They specialise in creating dramatic, thundering, anthemic, almighty, colossal, fast and furious Rhapsody meets Nightwish meets Wagner symphonic power metal soundtracks crammed with soaring strings, rasping brass and massed choirs. They are fronted by the captivating Camila Senne with her awesome operatic voice with a delightful vibrato and Allan Ortiona who has a mighty metal and operatic tenor voice, they make a truly wonderful combination. Songs like ‘Eternal Life’ and ‘Rising From The Sun’ are glorious rousing sword waving battle hymns while tunes such as title track ‘Harmonizing the World’ and ‘Lord of the Seas’ see them fearlessly galloping headlong into the valley of death like the Charge of the Light Brigade with cannons to the left and cannons to the right. The bursts of double bass drumming have Matthew Liles peddling faster than Lance Armstrong being chased by Attila the Hun, his feet must be a smoking blur, he’s just left the band, he probably ended up in Peru. There are several numbers like the magnificent ‘Sun and Moon’ that feature segments that remind me of Greg Lake’s fabulous contributions to ELP’s Works (C’est La Vie et al), great favourites of mine. The catchiest number is ‘Broken Wings’ and it culminates with the blockbuster ‘The Brave From Highlands’, a song so titanic you will need a lie down afterwards to recover your senses. This is an album that will blow you away like a raging hurricane. If you’re still clinging onto the wreckage, stagger to http://www.myspace.com/thysymphony where you can find out how to buy this symphonic metal masterpiece, a highly harmonizing 9.5 out of 10.
