the heavy metal of Blackdome (Brazil)

Blackdome (Brazil): “Higher” (self-release)

A high voice that wails, a thrashy heavy/power guitar sound, shredding solos, galloping rhythms, high-energy, Stratovarius/DreamTheater-with-a-thrash-feel is the strategy of Blackdome.

Blackdome laughs not at heavy metal tradition, Blackdome embraces the legacy. These five songs stay in headbanging territory, but on the last, self-titled song the band shows the prog side more, but has not yet gone 100% prog. In the future, I hope they don’t lose the rocking heavy metal side, given that this current heavy/prog balance works.

Best of all, Blackdome has the music available for free at SoundCloud. If you like traditional heavy metal and you want to hear a new band, Blackdome is a place to begin. I wonder if Blackdome’s singer is as good live as on this recording. The singing certainly sounds good on this EP. www.soundcloud.com/blackdomeband www.facebook.com/blackdomeband
