ARACHNES “Primary Fear” /Digipack CD/

The fourth full-length studio album by Italian Progressive Power Metal band.
Power, Speed and a certain amount of Symphony and Neoclassicism!
The band cite influences as varied as Bach and Malmsteen, and that is also very obvious, especially with the instrumental tracks. “Tota Pulchra”, for example, sounds like a pissed of Mozart! And “Running In The Labyrinth” is a pure Neoclassicism!!
The guitar sounds almost Thrashy at places, which is also a plus. Perhaps there are too many instrumental tracks, but taste varies, as everyone knows.
Overall, it’s a very good album, and Arachnes have managed to create something of their own drawing from their many influences!
