WHYZDOM - FROM THE BRINK OF INFINITY (2009)

genre : female-fronted symphonic metal

similar bands : Nightwish, Epica
origin : UK
strong spot : symphonic orchestrations, songwriting

weak spot : common cover, production could be better, 2-3 filler songs

It is hard to find a female-fronted band that is not ridiculous, fake and nerdy (e.g. Lacuna Coil). Whyzdom know how to write good music. Multi-layered and complex synth parts, melodies that don't fall in the trap of being catchy and commercial, concrete rhythm section. Telya, the singer, fails to shine in most of the songs and finally gives an average performance. The reason I strongly recommend this album is its first part and the advanced symphonic passages.
