Italian DREAM OF DECADENCE was formed in 2003 and played covers. From 2005 they started playing in bigger circumstances. In 2007 they swopped a female vocalist for Francesco Valenti. Also in the band are guitarists Riccardo De Fanti and Andrea Giarola, bass player Marco Melegaro and drummer Gianluca Raisi. <\/p>\n
The intro is an enigma that doesn\u00b4t add anything since this is not a concept album. Modern and original metal has been promised, but I find \u201cThe Crow\u201d quite ordinary. No modern mischief but an agreeable voice, good riffs and a melodic touch. Riccardo and Andrea have good bite in the guitars, and this doesn\u00b4t sound like a debut, apart from the occasionally un-English sounding vocals. 14 tracks might be a little over the top and they end up with a bit of hit and miss. One miss is \u201cHysteria\u201d, a track that is both joyous, melodic and heavy without thought. Of the heavier tracks towards the end only \u201cBack to the Evil Age\u201d works. But it works very well indeed. I get the feeling we could get more out of DREAM OF ILLUSION if they went for a lighter and more progressive style. That seems to be a very Italian case? This is nevertheless a mature debut, but there is still some work left undone. <\/p>\n
