A new Power Metal band, with strong influence from the fellow Brazilian, Angra, Age of Artemis launch their debut album in 2012 titled "Overcoming Limits"
This album, from the instruments playing until the mixing of the audio, it is really similar to Angra. But it is not Angra, because they have their own style, especially the vocalist that make this band a little bit different from Angra. This album begins with intro called "What Lies Behind", and continues with my absolutely favorite song of this album which called "Echoes Within". The fast double-bass drumming, the catchy chorus, and the vocals are really great, and the guitar solos by Gabriel Soto and Nathan Grego really blow my mind, they are really good. Next song is called "Mystery", not as fast as the previous one, but it also has the catchy chorus. The song that has similarity with this is called "Break Up the Chain", it is the sixth song of this album. The 4th song is also very special to me, it is called "Take Me Home", a ballad that has a progressive element in it, and that's very good. The ninth track of this album has more neo-classical atmosphere in my opinion, because of the Phrygian Major modes that they played and it is called "God, Kings and Fools". And the last song is "Till the End" that is similar to "Echoes Within" but not as good as that.
For me, it is like Angra with a different vocalist that have different style of vocal. The greatest of this album, for me, still "Echoes Within", when you listen, you know why that is my favorite. And because of the "Echoes Within", I would give this album a 90 out of 100.
Sorry for my bad grammar, thanks for reading my review!
