The German singer Robert-Martin Dahn is easiest referred to as the frontman of the epic steel band EQUILIBRIUM, however right here he introduces us his new band ROBSE, and their debut album is known as Harlekin & Krieger. I won the vinyl version of that first ROBSE album, which is available in a gatefolded sleeve with a perilous having a look epic film frontcover.
Musically talking it’s most commonly a cookie-monster/brute vocal pushed epic bombastic steel taste with influences of IMMORTAL, IN FLAMES, AMON AMARTH and such reasonably excessive vocal pushed Steel bands. There’s mild at the horizon, which is due to the glorious vocals of feminine keyboardplayer Elina right here and there, and naturally it will were great to listen to her making a song extra regularly, as a result of she does have a wonderful voice in any case. This provides them a slight NIGHTWISH/AMARANTHE kinda vibe, but the song is as a rule extra leaning against the intense facet, which isn’t any downside in any respect as a result of they’re doing issues at an overly top degree musically talking. The sound/manufacturing could also be spectacular, particularly on vinyl it sounds relatively large. The lyrics are in German, in order that’s one thing you must no longer thoughts.
Even though it’s other than what we generally assessment, I’ve to confess that ROBSE does one thing relatively neatly on their debut album and the lovers of competitive brutal Steel will completely love the album, which is particularly really helpful to get at the glossy vinyl model.
