介 绍:
在新生代Power Metal团中包括Edguy,谁都不会否认Helloween〝七把钥匙〞的强大影响力,在成军初期Edguy有如得到Helloween真传的表现的确令人惊艳,如今Edguy已逐渐将各Metal大佬的精华融为自己的风格,在发行了三张极为成功的专辑之后,尤其是第三作〝Theater Of Salvation〞里包办大部分词曲创作的主唱Tobias Sammet,在卸下Bass演奏工作之后开始专任主唱一职,使乐团整体感提升,在获得耀眼亮丽的成绩之后,使得Edguy逐渐登上金属舞台的最高峰。
代表德国Power Melodic/Speed Metal新希望的乐团Edguy,承袭了Helloween、Heaven Gate及Blind Guardian等德国speed metal大团的优良血统,并彻底将德意志式的优美旋律发挥到极致,而令人难以置信的是,此乐团竟是由一群平均年龄还不到十九岁的年轻小伙子所组成的(97年),实在吓人,看来speed的势力又将再度肆虐!
97年所发表的<Kingdom Of Madness>为他们的第二张专辑,许多段落都让我回想起Helloween的<Keeper of the Seven Keys>,甚至连主唱的声音也很像Michel Kiske,专辑风貌完全是优美导向的标准speed metal,每首乐曲都是由优美的双吉他旋律所主导,而鼓手厚实的双大鼓能力和吉他的搭配也表现出色,然而或许是年纪尚轻,这张专辑在编曲上稍嫌欠缺原创性,且技巧性还有些不足,不过整体顺畅的编曲,加上悦耳的旋律铺陈,仍然可称得上是一部佳作。
专辑末尾长达18分钟多的<The Kingdom>,彷佛名曲<Keeper of the Seven Keys>的再现!此曲充份表露了年轻的Edguy向大团们看齐的决心,同时也是将乐团实力完全发挥的最佳表现,专辑概念尽在于此。全曲由多个段落所组成,庄严的气氛、略带古典味的旋律与优美和声,都让人十分动容,顺畅的speed metal曲式一气呵成,最精彩的部份在中段时,一阵阵阴冷的寒风声中,老人念着一段嘲讽的口白,接着一阵狂笑后,双吉他再次奏起优美的旋律,清脆的教堂钟声穿捘其间,使气氛更显凄凉!在一段吉他solo之后,沉重的keyboard衬底下,主唱低声地吟唱着,接着更加哀美的双吉他与键盘旋律将全曲带上另一个高峰!真是每一个音符都强烈地拨动我的心弦,全曲在keyboard的烘托之下,成功地营造出中古帝国那种神圣而庄严的气势!
年轻人不愧是精力旺盛,98年Edguy继续推出了第三张专辑<Vain Glory Opera>,相较于上一张专辑来说,明显地可以听出Edguy的进步!整体表现显得成熟许多,乐曲不仅更heavy且更具Power,在技巧上亦精进不少,而优美感则丝毫未减,并且加重了keyboard的运用,虽然少了长篇大作,但在编曲上则札实不少!同时Stratovarius的吉他手Timo Tolkki与Blind Gardian主唱Hansi Kursch在专辑中的跨刀演出,更增添了这张专辑的光彩,使专辑可说未演先轰动!
专辑开始,1分半钟的<Overture>,以华丽的交响衬底及歌剧式合唱做为序曲,一股古典气势彷佛迎面而来,接续的<Until We Rise Again#4:27>,立即就是毫不客气的双吉他疾走与双大鼓狂奏!振奋人心的日耳曼大合唱(Alan说),背后不时出现symphonic键盘,中段的双吉他对弹solo更是让人不由地跟着甩起头来!Edguy会在欧洲大放异彩绝对不是没有道理的!
<How Many Miles#5:39>又是首爽爽歌,双吉他快速riff,火力十足,中段的华丽键盘衬底加上双吉他协奏solo让人大呼过瘾!
<Scarlet Rose#5:10> (深红色的玫瑰)是首凄凉番石榴曲,叙述分手后的后悔与思念佳人,
「nothing is forever in life
but a memory - it's true
and when I gaze in the rain
I'm crying just for you...」
好美....人生又能有几回这样刻骨铭心的爱情呢?
<Out of Control#5:03>是专辑的注目曲,因为Timo与Hansi都在此曲出现,一开始又是交响式键盘的intro,接着,以宛如进行曲般的吉他刷扣,挟着强大的气势豋场!庄严的曲调让人为之震慑,最精彩的当然是中段时三把吉他的对飙加上狂踩的双大鼓,果然是有明日大团的气派!
接着第6首的同名曲<Vain Glory Opera#6:08>,是专辑中我相当喜欢的一首,开头以优美的keyboard旋律带入这首充满诗意之曲,悠扬的旋律与高雅的气质,加上Edguy惯用的大合唱让我深深陶醉,中段时吉他有精彩solo。
第9首<Tomorrow#3:52>,可说是专辑中最美的一曲,以浓烈而华丽的交响键盘做为伴奏,主唱幽幽地唱叙着黎明破晓之美与对明天的期待,但也对这充满谎言与破坏的世界感到忧伤...
