Carmeria
Trinity: Volume I

1.Lost in the Snow 3:47
2.Solaris (Acoustic) 3:23
3.A Sailorman's Hymn 4:06
Carmeria did something different. On these three songs, the music is acoustic or mellow, a plethora of gentle melodies that are very ear-friendly. The first song is from 2025. The second one is an acoustic version of one of their previous songs for which they had made a video (see the video at the bottom of this post), a catchy song, for sure. The third track is a cover a Roy Khan-era Kamelot song from the 1999 album The Fourth Legacy. I recommend this recording for fans of good singing and melodies in a relaxed, sing-along EP. The Kamelot cover is simply the band having some fun, and finally addressing something that is a rather obvious: Carmeria is influenced by classic Kamelot, including in the singing, and they finally have the confidence to record it, and see how it holds up to Roy Khan's pleasant, melodic yet strong voice. Overall, of course, this brief recording is not meant to represent Carmeria's main melodic metal, but rather a vacation, if you will, from their established sound. I have enjoyed it a lot.
