Edenbridge – Solitaire
Genres: Gothic Metal, Symphonic Metal
Label: Napalm Records
Edenbridge have been around forever, and this is my first time hearing these Austrians. And to be honest, this isn’t my thing. I can tell it’s really good, as in the people who are in the band are extremely talented, but I just personally am not liking it much.
The guitar riffs and Sabine Edelsbacher’s voice are the two main stars of the album, with heavy emphasis on the keyboards as well, but to me it’s all flowing into a somewhat generic sounding symphonic/gothic metal sound.
Maybe the hardcore fans of the genre will like it, but I’m finding it hard to.
5 out of 10.
