This is a review of an earlier album from Quebec, Canada's The Lightbringer which went for a melodic mixture of black and power metal and the album was self released in 2010 and called "Quintessence Of Dawn".
A very dark , heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and clean playing is also added on a lot of songs.
Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and power metal style singing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Keyboards are also utilized at times along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing.
Spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the album along with some female vocals and flutes also being utilized on a couple of tracks as well as the music also having its symphonic moments, death metal growls can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Mythology, Fantasy, Darkness and Light themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from The Lightbringer and if you are a fan of melodic black and power metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Garden Of Forsaken Souls" and "Constellation Of The Gate Of Gods". 8 out of 10.
