Tellus Requiem - Tellus Requiem (2010)

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band released two albums in 2010 and 2013 before they split up. I will post a review of their second album sometimes this weekend.

Norway also got a pretty big power metal, prog metal and heavy metal scene. It is not as known as the black metal scene (nobody has been murdered and no churches torched.....), but it is still a big scene.

Tellus Requiem was one of the first bands and one of the bigger bands in the scene ten - fifteen years ago. 

The music here is power metal. References are bands like Symphony X and the many German bands in this genre.

Their take on power metal is a bit run-of-the-mill songs which is true to the genre and it's formula. 

The vocals is good and there is a lot of guitar solos here which again is true to the power metal formula.

The result is a half-decent album which does not offer anything new to the scene. Power metal fans should check out this album.
