Greetings people, sorry for my absence but this year keeps on being hard to me, seems I can't find the right path in between the problems... well that is not the reason i am here today.
On of these days I stumble upon something that put me in absolute awe. I was seeing a react channel caught A&P Reacts(I totally recommend them for finding cool stuff) and heard something I really didn't expect to. I already knew from Ava Inferi how the Portuguese matrix works so well in metal, mainly the atmospherically darkest metal, more connected to darkness of mind and being.
But Ava is a style more connected to gothic metal, and I was still to see if it would work in another style. Than the said channel showed a band called Allamedah with a Fado singer called Valeria Carvalho. I didn't knew any of them, neither the band or the girl. But as the songs starts I became in awe, is starts with strength, in Portuguese(something kind of rare) and all of a sudden the song has a break and it starts a Fado time, then it evolves with conjunction of fado and a more heavy/prog sound of the band. From the break on the presence of the Portuguese Guitar is simply majestic. The song is called "Algema", and it should be shared for more people to know, and then maybe we will more and more fusions of each country style with metal.
The second song "Perspective" is more a typical heavy metal song, but I still enjoy it, that kind of sound is not the most common in Portugal, where black and thrash metal prevails. For me a progressive fan I lack more solid bands on the genre to follow.
Hope you enjoy both songs as much as I do. Cheers and see you soon.
