Outstanding review on Ravenheart Music !

(Scarlet Records) Reviewed 14th September 2012

The mighty French formation, founded in 2007 by guitarist Vynce Leff, return with the eagerly anticipated follow up to their outstanding 2009 début, ‘From the Brink of Infinity’. Their music sits in it’s own unique place, they are the prog rock and metal loving cousins of a modern but heavier Nightwish and a grow less Epica. Brand new singer Elvyne Lorient does sound at times rather like Anette Olzon, her sweet voice juxtaposed against the tumultuous typhoon raging behind her, she does an incredible job of not getting swept away in the cyclone, standing loud and proud, personified by her peerless performance on ‘Cassandra’s Mirror’, and she enjoys the support of their very own Dark Whispers Choir, who also appear with the band at their shows. Once again Vynce’s production pulls off the seemingly impossible task of keeping the 16,000 things that are going on simultaneously as clear as a bell, as well as making it sound like a homogeneous whole, quite how he does it without it turning into soup defies all logic. They are a fantastic and hugely entertaining band live, but it’s interested how they strip away all the complexity, and concentrate on rocking the place and having a good time. This is a set of eleven thundering throbbing thumping songs with immense refrains, 70 minutes of music rammed into the grooves, including the totally staggering, jaw dropping ‘On The Road to Babylon’, which sounds at times something like Yes gone symphonic heavy metal, afterwards they allow a few moments of quiet for us to recover before the dramatic ballad ‘Paper Princess’ with it’s extraordinary Rachmaninov esque piano by Marc. Other highlights include the Celtic flavoured ‘Lonely Roads’, the swaggering 'The Foreseer' and the closing humungous epic ‘Cathedral of the Damned’. Every song has so much going on you can listen to this until the end of time and still find something new, like Xavier's terrific bass solo in ‘Venom and Frustration’ which Jaco Pastorius would be proud of, and the orchestral arrangement's by Vynce are simply wondrous. Whyzdom have produced a mind boggling, colossal, awe inspiring album that will have every symphonic metal fan salivating, especially those of a prog persuasion. Their website can be found here, a mind blowing 9.5/10 (Phil).

Outstanding in-depth review of "Blind ?" on one of the most important website devoted to Female-fronted bands : Sonic Cathedral ! A must-read !

"Blind? provides music that pretty much defines this musical genre for the 21st century. If the...
re is better music out there, I haven’t heard it. Of course, that’s one man’s opinion. But, I’ve been listening for a long time. And this one is one to be treasured. A 10 is the minimum I can grade this one at. You may well go beyond that. Either way, you won’t be disappointed. A classic." - Doctor T.

New review !

"What Vynce was able to create with the orchestral arrangements is mindblowing, each song has something to keep the listener happy and interested. Whyzdom has made a cd that is just amazing, and makes thei
r debut cd look like an afterthought. If you are a fan of symphonic female led metal bands, this cd is going to blow you away. What a comeback cd from a band that I thought gave us their best cd with their debut, this is a band that I just feel with each cd will be getting better and better"

"For a 2ND CD release, Whyzdom have produced a mind boggling, colossal, awe inspiring album that will have every symphonic metal fan salivating! With a SENSATIONAL NEW FEMALE VOCALIST, arpeggio's guitar solos and dark THEATRICAL undertones, the melodies will make you bleed aggression! So for this sophomore release, Whyzdom have PURELY NAIL IT right on the head! "

"Just when you think the Dutch have mastered Symphonic metal, the French band Whyzdom is crashing on the scene with their orchestral arrangements and heavy melodies. [...] I give them an A+ for going the extra mile to give fans a solid album. You don’t see that too much anymore."

"Listening to tracks such as “The Wolves” makes you realise how far ahead Whyzdom are in relation to many other bands of this genre both in terms of technical ability and performance. “Blind “ has the very real potential to propel this band to the very top of the Metal league table, and should see them gain an army of new fans." - 9/10

"Ever since Nightwish decided to let go of Tarja, I’ve been searching for a symphonic metal band to fill the void of their very distinct work. Whyzdom’s newest release, Blind?, has given me hope. The album is an impressive piece of work as Whyzdom capitalizes on the orchestral elements of symphonic metal."

Outstanding review :

"Blind? the new album and return of French philharmonic metallers Whyzdom, is a release to leave mouth, senses, and heart in their individual ways, wide open in awe. It is a stunning album, a startling world of symphon...
ic and power metal caressed and shaped into something magnificent and epic, and most of all distinctly Whyzdom. (...) Whyzdom return to take their place as one of the most innovative and imaginative symphonic metal bands in recent years whilst Blind? makes a late challenge for the best album to grace and light up the year."

"The music of WHYZDOM beautifies my life and filled it with complex orchestral hallucinations from a well structured symphonic power metal machine.

[...]

11 tracks of high-level symphonic metal music, with amazing production and huge caliber compositions such as The Lighthouse, The Spider and Cassandra's Mirror that will delight fans of the genre."
