Truest review i have heard, put this on and told my girlfriend to come listen to maidens new song (covered the screen) she was oblivious to it, just thought it was Maiden. Bloody brilliant :-)
I think if someone doesnt know the band and closed his eyes while listening to it he would probably thought it was bruce dickinson or a new maiden song.. I think the song is very nice
Thanks for the review! I see eye to eye with you! I'd say it has more of a HammerFall-ish approach, rather than a "modern" one. I can't wait to lay my hands on this album. I am definitely flying the I-don't-care-I'm-living-the-dream-again team colours. Just have fun, guys! Up the Icons! ;)
@@flashy5150 The guy can't help how he sings. Sounding like Bruce Dickinson could easily put some people on the back foot here. At the end of the day the voice is AWESOME and he and the band deserve the break
I'm having that 👌 I can't wait for the album now. Obviously his voice is a ringer for BD but I hope people look beyond that and look at the material and the quality of the musicians. Great solo well structured but I have to agree that the drums need a bit more beef. I urge people to give them a chance. I will be interested to see what they are like a few albums in.
Proper decent impartial honest review, these guys are brilliant. The voice is so scarily like the God that is BD. I have pre-ordered this album......Utterly brilliant if you like me are a massive Maiden fan. This is not copying maiden....Maiden need carrying on until the end of time...True fact
Yes Frontiers is an awesome label. I love Ulterium as well. They have Theocracy, Within Silence, Innerwish and Diviner amongst others. But Frontiers knows how to pick em. Sounds like Bruce but I think he can hold his own and with more records his voice could fill out more. Rocking song love the solo!
It is a pretty good voice . It is look like a bruce solo album . The sound at the beginning reminds me a little the riffs from Tailgunners but after that sound the good and nice heavy metal school from 80's but with a nice production . It is a comer band and of course if I had a vocal like Mendes similar to Bruce who wouldn't try sing in any band heheheh.
Ele gostou sim. Ele acha que é uma música que prende a nossa atenção, que foi bem produzida e etc. Ele diz que se parece com heavy metal dos anos 80 com traços de modernidade. Ele também comenta sobre a incrível semelhança do vocal com Bruce Dickinson, que se parece demais, inclusive os gestos que faz e tal. Apesar da comparação, ele não minimiza isso, ele diz que muita gente soa parecido com vocalistas que ouviram durante a vida e que isso não desabona o talento do Raphael. Basicamente é isso que ele disse! 🤘
Well ... I love Bruce. I adore his voice, his charisma, his artistry. Yes, Raphael sounds similar. The low notes of course are different, but the highs sound strange. The high notes sound like Raphael is 60 years old. Bruce sounded open and powerful when he was young, maintaining a high tone. About music. Maiden has a unique sound. I recognize them without vocals. And of course great stuff. Unique sound, great stuff, energy and artistry, Bruce's voice - that's why i love Iron Maiden. And these guys sounds like a new song from Bruce Dickinson solo stuff. Not bad... but kind of weird cos of similar voice. I'd like to have Bruce's voice, but it's not a gift, but rather a curse. Personally, I feel a kind of envy. I wish Bruce was the only one in heavy metal with that voice, you know. I don't want Bruce to leave, but I don't need another Bruce.
@Neurocorpus Come on man... When Bruce was 50 and he sang "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" on "Flight 666", you can understand that it becomes more difficult for him to perform such awkward things. And Raphael sounds like he's 50 too. It sounds tense. Lack of range or technique? Throat singing? I love the way Raphael performed "Virus". The baritone tessitura reveals the beauty of Raphael's voice. This song is great for Bruce's voice in general. It’s a pity they didn’t perform it.
Great Reaction Mate! Never heard of this band. Sounds pretty good! Could you maybe react to Blood Bound (Music Video - Hammerfall) i don't know if you seen any video of them :)
I think the Bruce Dickinson impersonation can work for the first couple of songs to make people talk about you but at some point this vocalist needs to find his own style and tone, I really hope he does because of course the talent is there.
Fair review. Mendes is gifted by nature, why don’t take advantage of this? I prefer someone like him than someone else that tries to sing like Bruce and sucks. Mendes pays a tribute to the one and only. Respect. About the song... still a bit green, but better than any Maiden songs of the last decade if not more... not taking about the production 😅. Lee, I love your English accent, but your Brazilian sucks 😆 Cheers Max 🇦🇺
“Edguy” sounds like Iron Maiden and the singer sounds just like Bruce Dickinson. This “Shadow Dancer” is only missing the speech of Sir Winston Churchill at the beginning and the song would sound like a beaten ripoff of “Number Of The Beast”.
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 I couldn’t think of his name, thank you. Edguy is a great band if someone wants the same sound of Maiden but different songs.
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 Doesn't necessarily sound like a specific song, but that guitar tone is very reminiscent of the style used in several W.A.S.P. songs such as "Skinwalker", "Scared To Death", "Stone Cold Killers", "Scream" to name a few.
From Brazil🇧🇷🤟
Brother!
Good Reaction sir. I think this band has a brilliant future. The vocal is amazing and the solo was fantastic. Maiden is life....

an excellent band, 3 trips from the children of mothers who work in male entertainment houses ...

I think the song is very nice
Nope.A very poor imitation and if they don’t give it up.It will always be a limitation.
I liked this reaction, Raphael is a great talent, I’m sure we’ll still hear him a lot.
@Raphael Mendes veja isso

If you haven’t heard of them, “Edguy” is a band you would like, they ripped-off Iron Maiden too lol.

new bruce dickinson album lol I LOVE IT!
@Marbin Garcia haha
Algum br pode traduzir se ele curtiu a banda? Eu não manjo nada de inglês. Pela cara dele, parece que curtiu bastante hahaha
sim

more like bruce solo cds !!!.......sounds good !!!!
BRASIL 🇧🇷👏👏👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🤘🤘
The first time I heard this band I thought it was actually Bruce Dickinson singing in a new band 😬😬😝😝
I’d have to say If I heard it without seeing Id think it was a new Maiden song, hope they do really well with this.
I'm 100% sure that if you play this song to any Maiden fan saying is the new Iron Maiden's single, they all fall for it. Great song by the way.
also, the beginning of "Shadow Dancer" reminds me to "Tailgunner".
@@vandread4740 surtout les 10 premières secondes
New Iron Maiden
I loved hope to the get album soon

Sounds like the number of the beast intro!

thanks......

UP THE icons
Sir, I think you should react to Barren Cross and Ария. Both bands are also Iron Maiden-like.
@Shuu already done a Barren Cross reaction a while back
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 sorry, I'm new to the channel. I'm gonna check that out. Thanks!

@Max its not just by Brazilian that's bad
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 To remain in the region, try Overlloud (yes two ll) “Buildings on Fire”. You may like it.

@Flashy5150 yeah Tobias Sammett
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 I couldn’t think of his name, thank you. Edguy is a great band if someone wants the same sound of Maiden but different songs.
Pretty good song but the drums are way to forward in the mix and very simplistic.
Ok, is it just me or is that first 10 seconds or so of guitar in the intro straight off a W.A.S.P. album?
@Mark Cloer i was thinking it sounded like a Maiden song that I cant put my finger on.....whats the W.A.S.P song?
The first 10 seconds is a blatant rip-off of “Number Of The Beast” by Maiden.

I thought the beginning sounds a little bit like tail Gunner but I don't think they ripped it off of anything
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 Tailgunner?
