Symphonic Rock / Symphonic Metal

PHANTASMA is an enchanting name for a symphonic metal/rock band that has created a phantasmagoric album “The Deviant Heart”. The band members are Charlotte Wessels (DELAIN), Georg Neuhauser (SERENITY) and Oliver Philipps (EVERON), album session members are Jason Gianni (TRANSSIBERIAN ORCHESTERA) – Drums and Randy George (NEAL MORSE BAND) – Bass. PHANTASMA was born from the longstanding ambition to create a story-driven concept record of Georg Neuhauser. The album was signed off by napalm records and it was a pleasure for them to have these guys. Since this band was formed by various talented artists, this album has a lot of expectations from the fans of these artists. One of the most notable is Charlotte Wessels, the album revolves around this enchanting female vocalist, she is also the vocal figurehead of Dutch grandees DELAIN since 2005. With such a talented composition I’m getting more eager to dwell into the album and have a taste of the music these guys created. Now, it is time to enter dreamscape by playing this album.

The first track “Incomplete” kicks off the album with a beautiful piano melody and without delay the bewitching soothing female vocals fades into the track with perfect synchronization. The music is something that can be played in a royal castle with all the royal elements present. The male vocalists takes the music to the next level and like adding the cherry on top of the cake his vocals finds place in the track with absolute perfection while the piano portrays the beauty behind the mixed male and female vocals. The track which shares the same title as the album “The Deviant Heart” is indeed a special one in this album, overall, the track portrays a sad or sincerely loving emotion while the beauty of the melody shines throughout in a progressive manner. The intro to the track has a nice guitar tune which fades into a more serious tone giving the track a boost in the motivational aspects and the lyrics is comforting and caring.

“Runaway Grey” is the third track from the album, it moves along delving into the various emotional pieces giving the listener a refreshing lyrics that embraces the torn heart. While this track drops a sweet, soft vocals on the listener yet at the same time the guitars and drums kick in giving this track a wonderful structure. This one has landed on ‘my favorite track from the album’ list. Beautiful track! Moving on, we come across “Try” This mix of male and female vocals provides a nice dynamic for this track and this track has the most spectacular instrumentals to back the amazing vocals. Without a doubt this one is a keeper, and gets listed on my personal favorites. They actually have a track titled ‘Enter Dreamscape’, at this point, I think the listeners will have already entered the dreamscape. The tone of the music is more progressive and it felt like a ray of sunshine amongst the thick gray clouds the vocals were consistently brilliant and beautiful all the way through the track. The guitar riffs and the drums were fast paced and catchy on this track. Reaching halfway through the album we are introduced to “Miserable Me” the sixth track from this album, a hauntingly beautiful track with darker moods and powerful symphonic vocals that stands out though the eerie low piano background. Track number seven “The Lotus And The Willow”, blooms with a smooth drifting dreamy piece while the angelic sharp vocals emerges and pleases the listeners, in a few seconds the warm male vocals wrap the female vocals and produces a rich dynamic tone which comes close to perfection creating an enchanted world of mystery. The transitions are on a different level, it was hard to find any inconsistency between the change in pace. “Crimson Course” presents itself top the listeners with a groovy attitude, and exhibits more of the excellent guitar work that usually just appears subtly in the background. “Carry Me Home” is the ninth track which has beautiful lyrics and mesmerizing vocals. This is one of those tracks that really delves into the emotional depths of the lyrics, as for me, it’s a perfect track to listen when I need to be back home and when someone offers a ride, back seats are a pleasure! Sorry about that, getting back to the album, track number ten “The Sound Of Fear” is a slow paced track which opens up with some mind soothing melody that is a pleasure to the listeners soul, the vocal work in this track is one of the best on the album.

Almost reaching the end of the album, we’re fed with “Novaturient” an energizing track that tricks the listener into thinking that this is a slow-paced-melodic track, which is not the case here since the track picks up paces and progresses in an enthusiastic manner. The dream comes to an end with this final track “Let It Die” which starts off with a symphonic background music while at the same time displays some stunning guitar riffs. The track puts a smile into the listener’s soul by introducing both the female and male vocals that played along the lower mid-tempo style instrumentals. This track doesn’t fade away too soon, as it has a longer play time, a perfect final track.

PHANTASMA reeks of symphonic metal quality! It is absolutely an enchanting experience looping through this album and the vocals were soul rendering-beautiful with near to perfect synchronization. This album will be released on November 20th and will be available in various formats including a few limited edition digipack with a 100page booklet novel, voila! This makes the package complete as you can see as well as hear the inner beauty of this work. It is a beautifully executed album driven by unique dream like concepts and a whimsical story rendered in the tracks and this album is a luxury to fans of this music. Try to check them out if you are into symphonic metal.
