Bio:

The Ancient Bards is an Italian symphonic metal band, established in 2006.The Ancient Bards project takes its origin in the january of 2006 from the mind of the keyboards player Daniele Mazza, whose intent was to create a metal band with epic and symphonic sounds. After the meeting with the bass player Martino Garattoni the project began to materialize. Initially the line up was not stable beacuse of several problems, but in the summer of 2007, after a period of inactivity, the band found it’s final line up with Sara as singer, Claudio as solo guitarist, Fabio as rythm guitarist and Alessandro as drummer.The sextet imediately sarted working on the demo EP Trailer containing four excerpts of the exciting Black Crystal Sword Saga conceived by Daniele himself, that is influenced from fantasy nordic tales and japanese stories like Final Fantasy.During the realization of the demo, the bards were also busy performing in several Italian live contests from which they gained great results always reaching the first place.In May 2008 Trailer was finished and was reviewed by many italian webzines and magazines always obtaining high marks. In the meantime they were noticed by Emiliano Nanni, the president of the promotion and booking agency BRC (Bologna Rock City), that brought them on the stages on many italian live clubs supporting bands such as Turisas, Over The Rainbow, Almah, White Skull, etc. getting loads of success.In the summer of 2009 the band recorded at Fear Studio in Ravenna its first full-length album that merges Sara Squadrani's vocals with clean choral singalongs and heavy guitar sounds, to create an album teeming with ultra-catchy gems.In March 2010 The Alliance of the Kings, out for LIMB MUSIC PRODUCTS (World) and SPIRITUAL BEAST – Universal (Japan-Asia), was ranked by magazines and webzines one of the best releases of 2010. Powerful sound, majestyc orchestras, the wonderful voice of Sara Squadrani throw the audience right in the magic lands of fantasy! During 2010 and 2011 Ancient Bards live shows continued around Italy, supporting band such as Manegarm, Heidevolk, Korpiklaani, Eluveitie and many more!Now it’s the time for a new epic and symphonic release: Soulless Child, the second chapter of the first part of The Black Crystal Sword Saga is coming out in 2011!

Album:

ANCIENT BARDS as Italy's female vocalist answer to their own RHAPSODY OF FIRE. Their new album, "A New Dawn Ending" conveys their modern, yet tried-and-true firestorm of epic, symphonic Power Metal, with Sara Squadrani a nice touch and a new torch for a genre which normally consists of male, high-speed and high-velocity power screamers."Across this Life" is a riff-tastic piece, beautifully mixed to the highest standard with every brick in the track's wall of sound leaking pure energy through the cracks. What originally drew me to this band were the technical and soaring arrangements, similar to ANGRA and RHAPSODY OF FIRE; Sara's vocal delivery stays away from the ear-splitting operatics of the majority of female metal vocalists, opting for a high register, heavy metal approach; look no further than the likes of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS or SYNERGY. From what I have already heard of the band, this track displays what I believe to be her best vocal performance. Tracks like "A Greater Purpose" displays the entire band's heights of virtuosic playing; abilities typical of a country known worldwide for its music; melded in are enormously thick choral and symphonic passages, taking me back to ANGRA's "Nova Era" days."Flaming Heart" is this album's special definition of the word 'epic', with mature and heavenly arrangements that rival those of EPICA and NIGHTWISH; a fine example of the band's love of forays into Symphonic Metal, with such elements heavily (literally) prevalent. "In the End" is an excellent, blistering track with a complex, technical and frantic rhythm section showing an even faster side to the band's impressive and expansive pool of arrangements. Also one of the more progressive tracks, many alterations in the track gradually shine through as previous layers are swept away, as the track continues to grow, amorphous but not shapeless.ANCIENT BARDS are an incredibly strong contender within the genre and at least in their home country of Italy, and make some of the best female-fronted metal in the world.
