Yes, the vocals are important because they are ║ │ │║ the first element that any fan will look for. It can make a ║ │ │║ bandÆs musical work go down the tube. And on the Irish ║ │ │║ quintet CONJURING FATE, I must say that their vocalist must ║ │ │║ improve as fast as he can, because he is the only weak ║ │ │║ point of ôValley of Kingsö, their first album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Their musical style is an energetic, heavy and strong form ║ │ │║ of traditional Heavy Metal/Power Metal with inspiration on ║ │ │║ the 80s. No, thereÆs nothing bad at all with their musical ║ │ │║ work, because the band has personality, besides this style ║ │ │║ is really eroded by the use and by the time. Their music is ║ │ │║ really catchy, done with fine melodies and charming ║ │ │║ choruses. But the vocals need to improve a bit more, ║ │ │║ because even not being as good as they could be, they ║ │ │║ arenÆt as aggressive as their music needs. And by the Metal ║ │ │║ gods, IÆm not asking to expel Tommy from the band, because ║ │ │║ his voice is good, but needs to evolve a bit more in terms ║ │ │║ of aggressiveness. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The sound quality is another point that could be better. Of ║ │ │║ course itÆs not bad, but it could have be done with more ║ │ │║ care, because the rawness in the search for the feeling of ║ │ │║ the 80s made the tunes from the instruments sound poor, ║ │ │║ without that heavy weight and clean aesthetics that they ║ │ │║ deserve. Their musical work deserves a great sound quality, ║ │ │║ with better tunes and the right volume. Once more: if you ║ │ │║ want something in the way of the 80s, a good producer can ║ │ │║ be Joel Grind from TOXIC HOLOCAUST, because he knows how to ║ │ │║ build an organic sound with a modern sound quality. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Musically, they are great. All their songs are fine pieces ║ │ │║ of Metal, done with heart and energy. But ôOur Darkest ║ │ │║ Daysö and ôMarching Deadö with their fine melodies and ║ │ │║ guitars (both presenting very good tempos and very good ║ │ │║ energetic arrangements), the savage and nasty ║ │ │║ aggressiveness of ôDr. Frankensteinö (a fine work from bass ║ │ │║ guitar and drums, and how a better sound quality could have ║ │ │║ made this song great), the fine NWOBHM inspiration on the ║ │ │║ melodies of ôA Primal Desireö and on ôTrust No Oneö, and ║ │ │║ the harsh aggressiveness tempered with melodies on ║ │ │║ ôApocalypseö can be pointed as their finest moments. But we ║ │ │║ have two bonus tracks, ôMirror Mirrorö and ôBackwoods ║ │ │║ Witchö, both very good and filled with fine guitar riffs. ║ │ │║ On all tracks, the vocals are regular, but if Tommy had ║ │ │║ used more aggressiveness and better tunes (that he has, we ║ │ │║ can feel them in some moments), the result would be way ║ │ │║ better than what we hear on ôValley of Shadowsö. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Guys, I believe in your work, you have guts and potential. ║ │ │║ Then, a better production, a special care with vocal tunes ║ │ │║ will do miracles. And IÆll be waiting to review it, be sure ║ │ │║ of that! In reality, I want to do that! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
