Editorial Reviews

With their third offering, Trinity, the Austro-American sextet takes Symphonic Metal to a new level as majestically powerful Metal songs complete with heavy guitars and unrelenting drumming meet emotional ballads and romantic soundscapes. The distinctive epic string arrangements compliment the multi-faceted compositions, superbly crowned by fantastic soprano vocals and the equally strong singing talents of the male counterpart. By masterfully merging their classic roots with powerful modern elements, Visions Of Atlantis deliver an album that is not only mystic and heavy but also insightful and bombastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'd say this is their best., July 17, 2007

Unlike VOA's two previous releases, I'd say this one is actually pretty good. They have a new female vocalist who, while faulting only a bit on her lower notes, really outshines the old vocalist when she goes for those higher notes. The songs are also a lot better. They still maintain the band's creative symphonic metal sound, but also have some catchier choruses, some nice guitar solos and some excellent drumming. Some really touching duets between the male and female vocalist are featured also.

The CD's only downfall would have to be its lyrics. The words can get a bit corny at times. Lines like "I'm so sorry 'cause you're dead" don't do it for me, personally. It'd also be nice if the vocalists put a bit more emotion into their voices and concentrate on what they're singing about instead of getting a perfect, crystal clear sound.

I'd recommend it, nonetheless, for symphonic metal fans.

This amazing band from Austria is on their way to greatness. For fans of Nightwish, Epica, After Forever, Lacuna Coil and the likes. Being their 3rd album, this is the best of the three. Melissa Ferlaak joins VoA with her amazing opera voice, so powerful that it rivals Nightwish's ex-vocalist Tarja Turunen. The lyrics are well written, and Mario Plank has greatly improved his English and vocal ability. They live up to their name: This is power symphonic fantasy epic metal. This ROCKS. Not recommended for people that don't have a lot of brain cells.

Haven't listened to the previous two albums but Trinity drives me to sanity! I love the vocals (no growling) and the female singer is different than the usual symphonic female singers and more opera-ish. I may not know what the hell I'm talking about but this is some great stuff. 5 stars
