Review of Martyrs EP at Metal Attack webzine

Sunday, October 28th, 2007 @ 2:19 pm | Review/Interview News

Metal Attack Webzine from Brazil has done a review of Dremora’s debut EP “Martyrs”.

Translated to English:

” “Martyrs” is an incredible work by Thomas and Juliana. The band was
silently created and when Juliana Novo (Crucifixion BR’s ex-drummer)
joined the “line-up” I was introduced to their work.  Based on a
symphonic metal, Dremora presents us a heavy work that will please
fans of other female fronted bands. Thomas Kampert lives in the US,
but in today’s world with a little from the internet, I don’t believe
that distance mattered. Juliana recorded all her parts here in Porto
Alegre.

From the first track it’s obvious how good this work is. Alone has
really impressive vocals and a well done job by Thomas, since he did
all the rest! The guitar melodies are perfect, with a very cool
timbre. “Martyrs and Madmen” is very heavy and the keyboards give the
song a nice atmosphere.  In “Fair Haven” we find a sort of medieval
vibe. I don’t know if it was done on purpose, but the end result is
very cool!  “Transcending God” finishes off the record with a lot of
mood variation: very calm parts mixed with extremely heavy ones!

I also need to mention how beautiful the digi pack and professionally
recorded CD are. Good luck for the band, I hope these two record more
material because they’re definitely in the right way!”

Original Review in Portuguese:

“Bastante surpreendente o trabalho que Thomas e Juliana fizeram em “Martyrs”! A banda foi surgindo quieta, e com a entrada da gaúcha Juliana Novo (ex-batera da Crucifixion BR) é que tive conhecimento de seu trabalho. Baseado em um metal sinfônico, a Dremora nos apresenta um trabalho pesado e que agradará os fãs de bandas com “frontwoman” no vocal. Thomas Kampert reside nos EUA, mas em tempos de Internet creio que o fator distância não foi problema, já que Juliana gravou todas suas partes aqui em Porto Alegre.

Logo na primeira faixa podemos ver o quão bom ficou este trabalho, “Alone” tem vocais realmente marcantes, e um trabalho muito bem feito de Thomas, já que ele ficou encarregado de todo o resto! As melodias de guitarra são perfeitas, com um timbre muito legal. “Martyrs and Madmen” tem um peso absurdo, que aliados aos climas de teclado dão um toque especial à música. Em “Fair Haven” podemos encontrar algo “medieval” em seu inicio, não sei se foi algo proposital, mas ficou muito bom. “Transcending God” fecha o disco, de forma bem pomposa, com vários climas, alternando partes calmas com outras de puro peso!

É necessário citar ainda a bem cuidada embalagem do cd, em formato digipack, e o cd prensado profissionalmente. Boa sorte a banda, e espero que esta dupla grave mais material, pois estão no caminho certo.”

Thanks to Maicon Leite & Metal Attack!!
