A choral vocalist sings over propulsive rock rhythms. Symphonic speed metal comes to life on Vovin. Bandleader Christofer Johnsson has fashioned a powerful classical-metal hybrid that displays how the potent elements of the two divergent genres can be fused. Indeed, the recording is so cohesive and robust that it feels like the strings, choral singers, and band are performing simultaneously. Other surprises include the scarcity of rock vocals throughout and the charming Middle Eastern overtones found on the opening track, "The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah." Purists may find Vovin unacceptable, but that's the price of progress. --Bryan Reesman (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)... (more)(less)
