Adiastasia - Life War

Adiastasia - Life War
Has anyone heard this progressive power metal band from Brazil? Thoughts? Opinions?

I heard a couple of songs. My cousin is a fan.

Solid music. Should interest fans of the genre.

I believe their album is hard to find around here.

It's definitely Flower Metal. Slightly progressive with neo-classical element and orchestration. Keyboards tend to be as important, if not more important than the guitars at times. At times they remind me of Rhapsody of Fire, Dragonforce and Kamelot. I also hear some Yngwie and Dream Theater influences. Being that they are from Brazil, I'd also bet that Angra were a big influence on their sound.

I have their first album, Life War. While decent "flower metal" (I hate that term for some reason) it is nothing super special. In other words, it's a pleasant listen but when it comes to this style I prefer the other bands mentioned.

thats my opinion as well. Its good for what it is but I dont find myself looking for it often.

I agree with Dallas, decent enough but seems like something is missing.

Scott, I had this once, and I sold it off. Maybe it was a bit too flowery for my taste, or perhaps I've always expected something heavy and thrash oriented from Brazilian bands, but from what I remember, it was nothing special to hang on to.

It's recently been remixed, remastered and re-released in a digi-pack format from Bombworks, for those interested. I'll have a review up soon.

I listened to this CD once. It's gonna take a while before I do it again.....

Took me a while too.

I am a HUGE power metal fan, however, this CD just didn't do that much for me. It seems to be lacking something that would make it really stand out. For some reason the singer's voice gets on my nerves after just a couple of songs, I would rather listen to Angra or Shining Star if I wanted to hear some music from Brazil. Adiastasia is OK, but I just don't listen to it very often.
