years have passed since MAGIC KINGDOM released their very respected
debut album "The Arrival". Five years in which Dushan
Petrossi, whom some guitar-magazines call the possible successor of
Yngwie Malmsteen, and his band lost none of their energy and sheer
quantity of ideas. Now they present "Metallic Tragedy", a
classy Symphonic Power Speed Metal work of art, on which they were
strongly supported by Oliver Hartmann (formerly At Vance) as guest
vocalist." MAGIC
KINGDOM's "Metallic Tragedy" is a varied Symphonic Power
Speed Metal album. Excellent cover artwork by Leo Hao (Iced Earth,
Blind Guardian). Guest vocalist Oliver Hartmann (ex-At Vance) on two
lead- and all background vocals. MAGIC KINGDOM guitarist Dushan
Petrossi is often described by the music press as being the legitimate
heir to Yngwie Malmsteen. The album was mastered by Miro. -
I
would call Magic Kingdom Symphonic Power Metal with a progressive edge,
and there is something for everyone on this release. If
you want power metal with memorable choruses take a listen to songs
like, “Child Of The Nile”, “The Iron Mask”, “Flying Pyramids”,
“Master Of Madness” and “The Fight”, all first class power
metal songs. If
you are into serious
shredding take a listen to “Black Magic Castle” a great
instrumental track. However,
all songs on this album contains fabulous guitar work from Dushan
Petrossi. If progressive metal is your thing, we have “Barabas” and the title track “Metallic Tragedy”. Especially “Metallic Tragedy” is magnificent. More than 13 minutes of pure progressive power metal. They have added some death metal vocals on this track … and it fits this great track fine. With
“Metallic Tragedy” Magic Kingdom has succeeded in creating a great
and powerful CD, that
not only showcases Dushan Petrossi’s godly guitar gymnastics, but also shows his song writing skills.
So, if you are into power metal with a progressive edge and fantastic
guitar work, give this album a try! Recommended
