SURVIVE (2022;16th) 9

0217820EMU		 　爽快叙情メロディをヘヴィに飾るメロディック・パワー・メタル。哀愁を込めた勇壮メロディがドラマティックに駆け抜ける魅力的な内容で9点。メロディ・ラインは叙情性に振る感じもありますが演奏陣の躍動感が強烈にこちらの心を高揚させてきます。ヴォーカルは鼻にかかった中高音域で柔らかめの熱唱が叙情メロディを引き立てます。ギターはソロではテクニカルに前に出てきますが普段はリズム主体でヘヴィですが控えめ。キーボードは電子音でリフにソロに動き回ります。ベースは高い音圧で厚みのある低音をやや過剰に押し込んできます。ドラムは音抜けの悪さはありますが重いキックと硬く弾けるスネアのパワフルな疾走感が楽曲を駆動します。
　#1:爽快メロディを揚々と紡いでいくヴォーカルとギターをベースが支える。#2:哀愁を帯びて疾駆する勇壮ヴォーカル・メロディをギターもプッシュする。#4:明るくコマーシャルな爽快メロディがヘヴィなリズムに乗って軽快に走り抜ける。#6:叙情味のあるメロディをヴォーカル中心に軽快に紡いで行く。#8:クラシカルなメロディを展開するギターとキーボードに劇的なヴォーカル・メロディを載せる。#10:厚めのヴォーカル・ワークに壮大なドラマ性を持たせてヘヴィに走る。#11:リズミカルに叙情性を放り込んでくるドラマティックな展開にも足元ではベースがヘヴィにうなる。
