LizZard – Out Of Reach (2012)

 

So here I am sitting in traffic. It’s at a complete standstill, and it looks like I’m going to be here for awhile. The radio station is on a commercial break, and the droning promises of easy loans, easy weight loss and easy money from ambulance-chasing lawyers permeate the air like a floating plague ready to devour anyone who simply takes the bait. Man, I need something to listen to. I frantically begin flipping through what seems like countless waves of little plastic discs. Page after page, it’s No. No. Been there, done that. No. Hell no! That is, until I come across one that catches my eye: Lizzard’s Out Of Reach. Okay, mes amis français, let’s see what you have for me this time around.

Dark Sky – Initium 2012

NOW!

Germany’s Dark Sky morphs again with their fifth album Initium. The long running band makes a turn toward more melodic metal, even power metal, and away from some of their earlier hard rock AOR roots. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that ‘initium’ is latin for ‘beginning.’

But there’s also little doubt that the AOR melodic rock background influences many of the songs here. Songs like The Rock, Shout It Out and the quite catchy You’re Alive have a solid rock groove punch coursing through the arrangement. Put the two songs, Gethsemane, an instrumental, with the following I Swear, and Dark Sky develops into symphonic power metal. Then back to edgier hard rock on Shout It Out and an epic metal anthem on the closer, Eternity.
