Somehow a Helloween CD got sent to us for review. Oh, wait a second – wrong continent. This is the Brazilian band Adiastasia. While they aren’t really a full-on clone of any one band, you can easily recognize the influences of all of the big players in the power metal scene – Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Maiden, Helloween, etc. This is a re-mastered re-issue of a 2006 album with new artwork, because apparently the original version sold out. If you are in to this type of metal, you can see why. They nail the sound almost perfectly while playing every instrument very competently. While this may not appeal to the average DTL reader that only likes alternative / punk / hardcore – those with broader tastes that dip into classic metal will want to check this out.
