German band Coronatus seem to be moving
along in leaps and bounds, and now provide us with their
3rd release of dual female fronted Gothic Metal, only a
little over 12 months after their past release 'Porta Obscura'.
Lisa Lasch, 19 years young, is now in the fold having replaced
Ada Flechtner, and she now forms the singing partership
beside the operatic Carmen R. Lorch (formerly Schäfer).
Like their past two releases, 'Fabula Magna' moves along
at a steady pace, speeding things up on occasion, and this
should not disappoint fans of the genre. Coronatus to me
seem a band that plod along, and I suppose you could say
that the formula does not vary much from release to release.
This is nonetheless, cool, bombastic, catchy Gothic Metal
with keys, crunching guitars, and with vocals sung in both
English and German (I think). No doubt certain reviewers
will slag this off claiming it is yet just another female
fronted release. However, good luck to the band with this,
their latest.
It gets released in Europe (18th Dec).
