Khallice - The Journey

This Journey is mind-blowing - 85%

Creeping_Death, November 8th, 2004

This is the debut of this Brazilian band. The album contains songs composed since the beginning of their road and has very talented musicians. There are nine tracks of a varied and creative Progressive Metal influenced by Rush and Dream Theater (yeah, guys!). It’s full of virtuous guitars and keyboards solos amongst an involving atmosphere. The singer Alírio Netto is great and very professional, although some treble slides. But he has a good voice and perfect level of interpretation. The guitar player Marcelo Barbosa is a renamed musician and GTR’s owner (one of the best guitar institutes in Latin America ). Bassist Michel Marciano attacks with wonderful and harmonious bass lines, added to the competent drummer César Zolhof. These qualities united with the keyboards atmospheres created by Bruno Wambier result in a sound complex with extreme maturity and technical. The high points are “I’ve Lost My Faith”, “Vampire” (great keyboards!), “Thunderstorm” and “The Journey”. This album is indicated to Progressive Rock and Prog Metal fans, and Khallice is one of few bands nowadays that play it without be boring. Congratulations and we wait for the second album!
