XHAMAIN “Na Alma” /CD/

The second full-length studio album by Spanish Melodic Death/Power/Folk Metal band.
Recorded and mixed by Ruben Alonso at Kastell von Pahlomen Studios and mastered by Tony Lindgren (Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, Blind Guardian, Eluveitie, etc) at Fascination Street Studios (Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Sepultura, Moonspell, etc), "Na Alma" is the first part of a trilogy called "No Ser". This is an ambitious and extensive work already written in its entirety, which is an excellent introduction of Xhamain.
The style of the Galician sextet combines elements of traditional Celtic music, such as bagpipes and flutes, with the strength and energy of Metal with Gothic and Symphonic hints. The male/female vocal duality adds a great variety of melodic nuances to the final result.
Xhamain take the listener to a journey into the world of Celtic traditional Folk music enriched by a Metal sound, which is dominated by a mixture of melodic Death Metal and Power Metal.
“Na Alma” is a perfect combination of Melodic Death, Power Metal, and the dominating Folk Metal part. The strength of the album is the outstanding quality of all instruments, including the vocals. The compositions of the songs allow every band member to contribute equally towards their strengths. The songwriting is very mature, and the album is very well produced. Xhamain set the bar very high with their debut and the listener will be excited about the things to come with parts two and three of “Na Ser”. The album is a must-have for every Folk Metal fan!
