Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by melodic rock band Altaria called Divinity (612 words)
There have been many different changes in the band’s line up since then, but I believe that it was right when Jani Liimatainen, guitarist of Sonata Arctica, decided to join the band, that the Finnish outfit managed to establish the sound and direction that they wanted to follow.
Altaria released two demos, "Sleeping Visions" and "Feed the Fire", that were both freely downloadable on the internet - quite a clever strategy, since they were received with great appreciation by the fans of Melodic Metal all over the world.
What I also respect about Altaria is the fact that even though they are obviously influenced by megatherions such as Stratovarious, they do not allow themselves to become "clones" like so many others did before them, and so many others will do in the near future.
