Stargazery

Eye on the Sky

Pure Steel Records

June 14, 2019

This is Stargazery‘s debut album from 2011, issued again by Pure Steel Records for June 2019. It does not matter that this is not new. The production stills sounds good, and the overall recording still sounds great. Musically, the album features midtempo and uptempo songs, songs for singing along, with big riffs, melodic keyboards, and a strong singing voice. The album is nine songs, plus a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Headless Cross,” and an additional bonus track. Stylistically, the album is midtempo/uptempo melodic heavy metal with some neoclassical and stadium rock vibes. In other words, every song sounds like an anthem and a hit. There is a sense that this is melodic metal for grown-ups and for the grown-ups-at-heart. The music sounds completely confident, without any regard for whatever the latest trend in metal music is. There is no thrash, no growling, no extreme metal stuff, just classic-style melodic metal anthems with a strong presence of keyboards and good singing, all made with the intention of creating the ever-illusive timeless melodic metal. facebook.com/stargazery
