TIMELESS FAIRYTALE - A Story to Tell

TIMELESS FAIRYTALE

Album: A Story to Tell

Genre: Prog / Powermetal

Release Date: September 13th, 2024

Country: International

Label: Vicisolum Records

Coming along with an international line-up, as we can hear Danish vocalist Henrik Brockmann (Royal Hunt, Evil Masquerade), Italian guitarist Luca Sellitto and bassist Carmine Vivo (both Stamina), as well as Swedish drummer Viktor Enebjörn (Darknd, Forever Still), the new band Timeless Fairytale has “A story to Tell”. While the cover artwork of this debut admittedly didn’t speak to me, a Vicisolum release will at least spark my interest, and I’m happy I gave it a chance.

The album starts a bit tame, but things evolve quickly, and latest with ‘New Dawn’, they got my full attention. The used ingredients clearly serve the Power Metal tag, but it’s not that high paced and over produced like most albums within the genre nowadays, more of a 80s/90s inspired in its sound.

The story itself is presented with a strong vocal performance and catchy melody lines. On top of that, fans of neoclassical infused prog will find a lot to sink their teeth in, which makes Timeless Fairytales’ first album worth a few spins.
