Asterise - Drifting into Darkness - Canciones Para Una Vida

DRIFTING  INTO  DARKNESS

Asterise, banda greco polaca, parece haber comenzado con buen pie su carrera musical iniciada allá por 2018 y que ha dado ya dos frutos en forma de LP, "Two worlds"  de 2022 y "Tale of a wandering soul" de 2024. Enmarcar su sonido es hacerlo en el power de corte europeo en un concepto muy "sueco" digamos, todo un piropo a mi entender, con un toque un tanto neoclásico en ocasiones. De su segunda obra de estudio quiero dejar hoy en el blog otro de sus temas, "Drifting into darkness" del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

The whispers all around me,
I can hear the silent scream,
Their voices haunt my memory,

In the abyss of mortality,
I am searching for the light,
The fright night upon us,

My spirit will never fade,
Travelling through dimensions,
Drifting into the dark,

In the dead of night,
I lay awake,
I see a world beyond this realm,
Let me embrace this timeless dream,

The wonders it holds,
Has never been unveiled,
See the vortex sky,
My destiny awaits,

I am standing here,
All on my own,
The silence echoes,
Is that my home?

With every passing day,
And every sleepless night,
With time passing by,
I roam alone without a care,

Sadness takes hold,
And won't let go,
In the darkness, I silently cry out loud,
Until brighter days come shining again,

Sadness takes hold,
And won't let go,
In the darkness, I silently cry out loud,
Until brighter days come shining again,

Canciones para una vida - Asterise - Into Fantasy

INTO  FANTASY

Mezclando el buen hacer de dos de las escuelas emergentes actualmente como son la griega y la polaca, Asterise da su segundo paso y el de confirmación en su carrera iniciada en 2018, un proyecto que se consolida en su marco de power metal de corte europeo, que se verá oficializado en este próximo mes de diciembre, (día 6), a través de este "Tale of a wandering soul" del que hoy quiero dejar en el blog uno de sus adelantos, "Into Fantasy". del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Step right through the portal
Into the unknown
A world unlike any other
A place to call home
Where skies are painted purple and blue
And creatures come alive
From the deepest dream I've ever had

Into parallel world I go
On adventures unknown
No turning back now, no
The stars above are shining bright
Guiding me through the endless night

Now set me free
Let me fly into fantasy
High above the sky
Leaving the worries behind
Spreading the wings of freedom
Over the scarlet horizon
Long is the night
Welcome to this new paradise

The world is fast
But with each step I take
My soul is filled
With memories and joy

Lost in this world
Of fantasy
My mind is spinning
It's hard to believe
But I'm drawn to this magical place
Where the impossible coexists
But with grace

Into parallel world I go
On adventures unsolved
No turning back now, no
The stars above are shining bright
Guiding me through the endless night

Now set me free
Let me fly into fantasy
High above the sky
Leaving the worries behind
Spreading the wings of freedom
Over the scarlet horizon
Long is the night
Welcome to this new paradise
Yeah

The world is fast
But with each step I take
My soul is filled
With memories and joy

Canciones para una vida - Asterise - Falling Stars

FALLING  STARS

Vamos con un proyecto internacional, griego-polaco, en clave de power metal pero en una onda metal opera, bastante en una línea Avantasia y similares. Se llaman Asterise y tras su formación en 2018 comienzan a publicar material en 2022, primero un par de singles preludio de su único LP a fecha de esta reseña, "Two Worlds". Con un solido bastante europeo que podría haberse editado tranquilamente en la década de los 2000 a juzgar por su composición, buena y limpia producción y promesa de seguir adelante como banda a juzgar por la obra en su conjunto. Que mejor manera de sacar conclusiones que a través de uno de sus temas, en este caso "Falling Stars", en ocasiones con unos teclados muy Stratovaricos o a los Sonata Arctica de sus inicios, un tema del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Stars and sky, are calling me
I am ready to go,
here again,
Gazing at the stars,
The light will guide me through my life
The road is long, but again
I am leaving today,
To the place where noone can go,
I have to find the way back home,

From the sky I come this night,
The stars are shining bright,
They're falling fast,
Try to keep the flame for us,
There is still another chance,
I hold the key to the universe,
I am fallen star, I rule the skies.

Left my land, hoping that,
I will find,
The paradise, the lack of scars,
My memories are coming back,
If I could, I would go there,
once again,
But this time,
my dreams of the world,
would come true,
so I need to try.

From the sky I come this night,
The stars are shining bright,
They're falling fast,
Try to keep the flame for us,
There is still another chance,
I hold the key to the universe,
I am fallen star, I rule the skies.

There is a place, out there in the universe,
Leave your worries behind, just take my
hand and fly,
Come back with me, I will give you the key,
It will open your heart, and again you will be
bright,

Following the path that leads to the light,
I stand in front of the gates of heaven,
There is no time to waste but I can't enter
now,
So many pain and misery have been left
behind,
The black mist covered the world and the
clouds weep humanity,
Phantoms possessing the living, with fear on
the unlucky ones,
Suddenly, crimson fire raises over the
horizon,
and the golden road appears,
I come from the sky bringing salvation and
hope,
All the creatures that once ruled the earth,
Every beautiful part of the land and nature
has to be saved,
Future of mankind will now be determined,
That's the fate of the fallen star,
That is my destiny, forever and ever, and
ever-forever
forever and ever
