Excalion - Progressive/Symphonic Metal from Finland

[heaven&hell]

I find it strange that they list two influences on their myspace page, Stratovarius and Bon Jovi.

Talk about being diverse.

 

Anyway I like what I hear and it's definately similar to Stratovarius.

Just been listening to samples from the new album, described as 'Melodic Metal' in a review.

Excalion myspace

 

First track is average, to me it is fairly typical of my personal impression of Power Metal, i.e. a good sound, but somewhat ruined by a chorus that sounds far too happy, twee and soft. The second track, 'Enter A Life' is really good though. Decent melodic metal imo.

Their 2nd CD is their best work iMO, the 1st and most recent album don't do it for me....Jeff.
