I put on the pod the first album from french symphonic metallists Whyzdom named From the brink of Infinity.
This first try out is a great work that sounds as professionnal as any female-leaded metal symphonic band out there (whatever that means).
It is lyrical, powerful and bombastic with beautiful vocals by Telya. Vynce Leff delivers a great traditional metal boosted with nice choirs and all that is needed symphonic arrangements.
Of course the album suffers the same problem as some bands in that line of music, meaning a female centered cover concept (not to anyone's taste, least mine) and dark lyrics upon the traditional odd sounding keyboards and the overdose of double pedal.
But that's minor concerns. The tracks are powerful and the prog roots of Vynce show in the odd yet beautiful track 'the Old man in the park'.
Otherwise it is symphonic metal at its best with a wonderful new voice that screams to be heard.
Lay done your Nightwish and try Whyzdom for a while, you won't regret it.
