Veonity – Live Forever (2013)

Arriving from Sweden in a lush digipack format, today we have newcomers Veonity and their three-song EP titled “Live Forever”. Perfectly capturing the atmosphere of 90’s Power Metal, this very young band makes an impressive debut with this release. If you are a fan of older Stratovarius, Helloween, and Gamma Ray, you will not be disappointed by the energy and intensity behind this short but sweet EP.

Opening with the EP title track, the band instantly delivers blistering guitar leads and a very balanced sound. The epic vocal melodies drive this song to the top of the pile when it comes to new Power Metal bands. With excellent lead guitars and tight drumming, we proceed to the next epic track “Slaves In A Holly War”, a track that presents us with more guitar wizardry and extreme catchiness.

Closing the release we have quirky “King Of The Skye”, a very intense piece that will instantly become one of your staple Power Metal tracks. This song has that heroic vibe that the genre used to have before it got completely over produced and boggled down by tons of keyboards and orchestrations. Overall, "Live Forever” is an excellent EP that showcases a very promising and highly talented band. Veonity is here to stay, so keep an eye out for this excellent outfit.
