Metal/goth/classical - USA


Out of Detroit, MI, comes a band Archaic Revival, started as a project in 2005 year by key person Derek Cvengros, author/guitarist and multi instrumentalist.
His main intention was to create something unique and outside standard mainstream clishe, recognized in actuelle USA metal production.
So, he create one sort of metal soundtrack of well -known epic saga "The Lord Of The Rings", and his idea was traced in album entitled, "Pagan Evolution". With fantastic soprano singer Alexandria Clark, he has recorded a 9 equalizing tracks, duration of 49 minutes and 38 seconds.
"Pagan Evolition" comphrises metal/goth elements with strong classical/medieval includings, also added with vivid progressive parts. Thematically, but also productionaly, album materials has showed nowadays standardizations. A songs maniristically didn' t suffer of unimportant technical supremations, and also is clear that present atmospheres in songs, could be a better part of album in general. Cvengros has offered his interesting authors views, and "Pagan Evolution" could be a favourable album for the followers of mentioned genre's form.
