Metharia is an italian band who plays metal in its purest form with many progressive and some death touches. The first thing that struck me are their great melodies and their changing sound between clean and distorted guitars (this is fundamental for the Metharia sound along with the combination with the keyboards). I find this CD very interesting because of the multiple ideas that you can find within each of the songs (melodies, rhythm changes, vocal changes, etc.) and the band never looses their power while mixing them . Another thing that is surprising is the voice of Luca Volani...he sings in many places like a heavy metal singer, then he can growl like a death metal one and he has a lot of different shades that are great for the mood that he wants to create on each of the tracks. Thumbs up for Metharia!!
