Well I search into the engine and I was stunned to see that no Topics have been created about Adagio!

What is Adagio would you say? In few words Adagio is for me the best metal band from France!

They play a great Symphonic prog/power inspired a lot by Symphony X known as to be their mentors. They released three album 'Sanctus Ignis' 'Underworld' and 'Dominate'.

The leader and spirit of the band is a french genius called Stephane Forte and is the guitar player of the band and composer!

Recently Adagio sacked David Readman (singer) and replaced him with Gus Mosanto a brazilian singer for IMO the best because Gus i just awesome in the new album...

Well let's here what you all people have to say about this band and please just don't post 'I Like Them' or 'They Are good'

A hevay dark progressive metal, with good symphonic doze. but with average songwriting and rather unsatisfying vocals (something really irritates me in Christian Palin). ---- Savor what you feel and what you see Things that may not seem important now But may be tomorrow R.I.P.

The black/death vocals of Dominate aren't for me. So even if the new singer is not so good, i find it ok. He fit in nicely. Otherwise, the progressive aspect is perfect (I love the piano part). Really nice album at this end. ---- Nothing is real Loading...

thehondo Posts: 141 From: USA	Permalink 20.07.2011 - 23:22 thehondo Posts: 141 From: USA I am hoping the new album is more of a return to the Underworld sound. I feel that its possible with the hiring of Mats Levin who is not really known for "death" type vocals. Eventhough, I absolutely love Dominate and Archangels. Stephan is brilliant, I like his blend of styles, genres etc. I guess he just can't find his perfect vocalist!? ---- No time like the present Loading...

Wow. I could NOT be happier I've been meaning to get more into Adagio for a while and I just worship Kelly's stunning voice. One singer worthy of the word "powerhouse."

I do hope he's gonna bring the band a stable identity, in the sudio and live. Cause to me Adagio was a very promising band and they messed up big time after Underworld (even during the Underworld days in fact, basically when they started thinking that they needed stage costumes and makeup to emphasize the darker direction they had announced). ---- La belleza no reside en lo que puedas crear, sino en lo que eres capaz de transmitir Beauty resides not in what you're able to create, but in what you're able to communicate Txus, Mägo De Oz Loading...

Looking at the band's info page this might interest me. Where should I start? The beginning. The first two are more prog oriented (in the vein of Symphony X as they say); both are amazing. #3 - Dominate is a more aggressive and straight-forward prog power metal (but still a masterpiece in my opinion). #4 - Archangels in Black is a bit of a step down, and the band delves even more into the darker territory, with extended use of growls, but still considerably less than, say, Opeth to give you an idea. I think they are present just on a few songs. ---- Savor what you feel and what you see Things that may not seem important now But may be tomorrow R.I.P.
