Whyzdom Daughter Of The Night
Metallian France n°53 4th quarter 2008
We never stop to claim it, even if it is sometimes difficult to get heard, so I have to repeat once more : we have excellent female-fronted gothic metal bands in France, still unknown, and WHYZDOM is a brilliant new example of that assertion ! WHYZDOM is impressive when it comes to professionalism and ability, in the most difficult branch of the genre : symphonic metal. In this EP, which is after all just a simple 4 title-demo (the band started one year and a half ago !), we already get very well polished songs : an blazing epic metal, almost theatrical, with splendid orchestration full of lyricism and beauty.
The voice, irreproachably in tune, of the young Telya Melane, high-pitched at times, often reminds of Sharon Den Adel... The compositions, rather complex and with massive choirs, are very promising for their debut album to be released in the following monthes, since the band logically found a record-deal, with Ascendance Records (Ebony Ark, Flowing Tears, Amberian Dawn... ). Everything is not exactly perfect, and the band has beautiful years to come to attain that perfection and erase some small errors to improve their efficiency, but still : let's take our hat off to them. With its artwork and package particularly carefully done, Daughter Of The Night proves itself to be essential for all the lovers of the genre, looking for new talent and revelation.
The band will play at the "Warm Up Show" of the next edition of the Metal Female Voices Fest, with Haggard and Valkyre.
