Hi guys I’m
Daltor! This time I’m going to review a folk metal band with some power metal
influences from Italy, called M.A.I.M.
I was
impressed a lot by the good taste in musical arrangements of this EP, called “Hostëria”.
The first
song is “Casera Death Trip”. The song talks about spending time listening metal
with some good friends. Chorus are very good and easy to remember. There are
also breakdowns played with folk instruments like Violins or Fiddles.
Next song,
called “Quest for perfection”, is a classic power metal song, where the
perfection means the “best pub” all over Italy. It is a mighty quest: everyone
should try to find the best pub, where all can drink the best beer (you know, folk
metal things). The band is devoted to instrumental parts, where we can find
epic narrations.
“Polenta
& Dragon” is the third song (Polenta is a typical Italian food). I think
about a power metal parody, but the song talks about a quest to kill a mighty
Dragon. We can see all the talent of this band on instrumental parts and the
vocals are really good. Guitars play only rhythmic parts or melodic riffs.
The last
song is “Blood Stained Walls”, an impressive work that go on for 9 minutes.
By the way,
this one isn’t the best song of the EP. This song is monotonous, but the
scream/growls vocals near the end are interesting
That’s all
from Daltor. I must say, this band has a lot of skills, they made an high
quality EP (remember, that’s the second EP).
I am giving
a high vote, again.
Bye guys,
stay metal!
Vote: 87/100
