If
you're looking for heavy then look no further.
Since
their formation in 2007, La Ventura have yet to stray from the path of success.
With the release of "Trefoil", followed the release of their debut
album "A New Beginning" and later in 2013, a record deal with
Ravenheart Music Records and Valkyrie Rising.
The
bands' biography describes their sound as "a great blend of melody mixed
with metal, topped with groove and powerful rock vocals". Their latest
release, and the album in which I am going to review, "White Crow",
clearly demonstrates the bands' musical talent as a whole. Upon listening to
this album, the listener is instantly drawn in by heavy guitar riffs as well as powerful female vocals flawlessly delivered by singer Carla van
Huizen.
The
band have often been compared to Evanescence and Lacuna Coil but, I think that
they are very different as they have their own sound which is almost like
you're listening to a live album when really, you're listening to an album that
was recorded in a studio setting.
Having
recently been announced to play at Metal Female Voices Fest this year, the band
only continues to move along the path of success. If you're into symphonic
metal, I highly recommend giving La Ventura a listen or two, especially if it's
heavy you're after!
