When I
saw the cover artwork of this album, I said to myself: "Ok! Here,
we have to deal with something very melodic, for sure!" And I was
completely right! FELONY combine melodic heavy/ power metal with
neo-classical elements. "First Works" is their debut album. This
band from Switzerland has managed to create a good debut album and
that´s why Escape Music decided to release their first deed. The
female vocals of FELONY are so clear and can be compared with
angel choirs. As for the male ones, here we have the typical power
metal vocals and the voice of the singer reminds me the voice of
Timo Kotipelto (STRATOVARIUS). The guitar-work is good enough, but
what I enjoyed a lot at "First Works" is the wonderful keyboards´
sound. Markus has made an excellent work on keyboards! Well done!
The track-intro of the album, "An Introduction To...", is so epic
and glorious! The same goes for the second track, "What A Felony",
which starts with a very skilful guitar riff. While, if you face
any problems and you want something to encourage you, then, listen
to "Freedom", a song suitable for hard times! If you are a fan of
melodic metal, then keep your eyes peeled on FELONY. Trust me,
they will not let you down! A very good debut, from a very
promising band!
