Tanagra are a band from Portland, Oregon that plays a mixture of progressive power metal and symphonic black metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "Meridiem".
Epic sounding synths start off the album along with some classical guitars a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. A great portion of the tracks are very long and epic in length while the songs also mix in a great amount of symphonic elements.
Clean power metal vocals a re also a very huge part of the recording while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are brought into the music they are done in a very melodic style along with the music also mixing in a great amount of progressive elements.
When the music speeds up elements of black metal and blast beats can also be heard as well as the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Stringed instruments are also added into some parts of the music along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them, spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. The production sounds very professional for being self released while the lyrics cover science fiction, fantasy, history, time and dreams.
In my opinion Tanagra are a very great sounding mixture of progressive power metal and symphonic black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Meridiem" "Etheric Alchemy" and "Across The Ancient Desert". 8 out of 10.
