HOLY SHiRE – “Invincible”
A grows of emotions, this was the impact at first listening, a symphonic metal, which in some respects, includes other subgenres that do nothing but reinvigorate the listening. Invincible, the second album by the Italians HOLY SHiRE, for style and ideas, covers a slice of age that includes the first followers up to the young. A good result in my opinion because it is all current and at the same time innovative.
An impact that leads you, overall, to perceive something magnetic and throbbing. An album where the band carries out its humble duty to the end, trying not to make the execution maneuvers appear too sloppy, sterile or banal.
We are in the presence of a work that always keeps the engine running, leverages the rhythmic grip by letting guitars, voices and other background instruments dance in unison but which have anything but the function of blandly embellishing the songs. HOLY SHiRE want to create their vortices with grace, undoubtedly revealing the will to do well, supported by a crystalline production, ready to underline (and perhaps precede) the path that will have to be faced.
Invincible is characterized by a dark density with a whole series of hits landed to keep the gushing fire to determine the goodness of this release that already from the cover will be able to procure its dark magnetism of facade. All the instruments appear pungent in every progression, with openings of sounds let’s say “airy”, a characteristic where you can feel an impactful theatricality that does not intend to veer the mood towards “more sumptuous attitudes or disguises”.
I can consider myself satisfied to have listened to this beautiful “jewel” that could certainly represent a delicious option capable of surprising the users of dark and hidden corners.
