Lux-Citanea

Lux-Citanea begins with Endovellicus, the first of three songs in Portuguese. The beginning of the theme alternate between a chorus screaming "Endovelicus" and parts of Black Metal sung in Portuguese with a very well done letter, which speaks of this God of Lusitanian mythology. With a sound that commands respect and smell the past, there is the powerful throaty the Hrödulf and an output for listening and all instruments. The Folk touch is given to the little issue before 3 minutes with a beautiful melody of violin and semi-acoustic guitar to accompany a quote in Latin.

It follows Lucifer with a great pace imposed by guitars in the beginning of the song, again accompanied by a guttural immaculate. Being a more generic theme and no major risks, it is still quite pleasant to hear, keeping the solemn and respect for the historical legacy spirit. An acoustic input, which soon enters then an accordion, marks the beginning of Nabia Corona, another theme in Portuguese and one of the best-Lux Citanea. The chorus with female and male clear voice is a novelty that sounds fresh and is well received by the listener, giving a magical melody to music. The final two minutes have more accordion and a small trauteado song, a more folk music and quiet than before.

The Oath Of The Oak is perhaps the weakest track of all Lux-Citanea. Not bad, but it is quite simple and equal to much already heard, not bringing anything new to this record. Fortunately, it is also the second shortest theme. However, Azagatel recover the interest of the listener with Viriathus, which opens with the recitation of Fernando Pessoa Viriato poem, first with clean and ending in throaty voice. The rest of the theme unfolds with an exciting pace and has a great chorus to sing live, "Heya, heya, Luxcitanea." The only thing that sin in my view is the duration of the same: do not know why these almost five minutes knew me a little, gave the feeling that was here good material to create an epic of longer duration, with an instrumental passage through .

Bandue is the shortest theme of the album, and even more interesting that The Oath Of The Oak is another mostly generic theme that is saved by the minute end, explosive and furious, the heaviest passage and black of the entire disk . The last original theme of the CD is also the best. Iberia has a bit of everything, starting with an accompanied melodic acoustic input accordion. The theme progresses, both the instrumental level as vocal as is sung by the great pride Iberia and its people. With the increasing pace, we reached an exciting riff, to resemble a ride, something similar to the theme of the entry riff For A Piece Of Heaven of the Azagatel debut demo. The final part of the theme has a more lofty and powerful attitude, giving a military touch and patriotic pride. Closing the theme cover The Crown of Samael, not matching the lyrical theme of the rest of the album, ultimately fit well the instrumental level, not being a brilliant cover is a nice tribute to a band that deserves respect of all.
