In some 14 years of activity the French band has built the reliable reputation for operatic singing within a neosymphonic melodic sound, and this fifth album (ten songs in 59 minutes) is a convincing testament to their career. Let's begin with the obvious requirement: the listener enjoys operatic singing (mezzo-soprano, says the official information), or is interested in understanding this type of singing. Of course, there is also normal melodic singing, but Whyzdom is proud to feature operatic singing, like an opera singer in a heavy metal band, backed by the splendor of an orchestra. Their objective remains the same as it has been throughout their history: a recording with the best quality that they can do at this particular time with the resources that they have, for a lush sound full of catchy rhythms, abundant guitar melodies, and the operatic singing that is their signature feature. Their sound is an amalgamation of rocking, pop, melancholic and romanticist aesthetics that characterize their elegant and cultured approach to the neosymphonic style. If you listen to the music at high volume, the band would like you to feel as if you were in big venue witnessing something like a luxurious production of a symphony behind a band performing an opera. Whyzdom is a celebration of classical music, opera and heavy metal.
