Batosay's Eagle Hunt is a great alternative to the ones
who miss the good old-school power metal. The song start with powerful
guitars, being followed by more nice guitar riffs and solid drumworks. A
short keyboard line is also present, but the sound keeps it's more
straightforward direction for the longest part of the song, which is
really good, considering how crowded Power Metal's sound has become
nowadays. I am a big fan of giant bombastic songs with orchestral tracks
to the bones, but it is really nice to have an alternative to this
style where we can enjoy the most of a more clean, guitar-driven song.
And talking about Batosay's work, those are guitars which are pleasant
to listen to, the leads are absolutely delightful and the solo is just
like any power metal catchy single should be: full of energy and
intention. Batosay delivers an excellent guitar work and, complemented
with the also excellent bass work, we have a recipe for success.
Vocal-wise, the singer [Rhona] shows a lot of potential and a very beautiful
voice color on the lower tones, showing that he has a hidden power which
can be uncovered on his full-body voice, but this power is being
hindered by the constant and, if you allow me to say, unnecessary use of
high pitched notes. In some cases less is more and I can see his voice
growing and beautiful new aspects of it being uncovered if the
super-high head voiced notes became more of an ornament than a constant through his work.
Overall, I give a big "YES" to Batosay's Eagle Hunt and can't wait to
listen to their upcoming EP [by Drake Chrisdensen for BUSUK CHRONICLES].
