Pyramaze - Immortal Review

Sunday June 29, 2008
Immortal is traditional power metal with some progressive moments. The songs are powerful and melodic with singalong choruses and big hooks. Pyramaze also uses keyboards, but more for atmosphere and background, not as the primary instrument. Their restrained use of that instrument is a wise one in a genre where it is often very prominent.

The progressive elements also add a nice twist to Pyramaze's sound. It lets them experiment a bit, and they are able to showcase their musicianship. It never gets out of hand, as the songs are pretty focused and the longest one is only six minutes. Tempo and time signature changes help make the songs more interesting as well.
