MAYAH ‘CD-SINGLE’ (INDEPENDENT) MAYAH is a new Norwegian band which is made up of members of SEA OF DREAMS and MILLENYA. The past musical experiences therefore go into both a Progrock and AOR direction, although the 2 songs on the band’s first recording are slightly more progressive metal with a very strong SAVATAGE meets CIRCLE 2 CIRCLE kinda style. Heavy progmetal with strong melodies and especially singer ROY EGELAND singing like ZAK STEVENS, but also more melodic arrangements such as the pompy/symphonic keyboardwork of OVE BJORN WILSON. All together these 2 songs show a very impressive band and I can easily predict a promising future for this MAYAH. Especially the 2nd track “She” is very interesting, starting as classic 70s Pomprock like STYX/URIAH HEEP with fantastic vocalwork, this song builds up to become an epic SAVATAGEish Progmetalpiece. MAYAH is the perfect mix between URIAH HEEP and SAVATAGE is my conclusion. Can’t wait for a full-length CD! In the meantime, check out their site for full downloads of these 2 songs at: http://www.mayah.net (Points: 8.3 out of 10) |
