| | King Diamond Tribute CD (1 Customer Review)
If you played King Diamond's recordings right after listening to some underground grindcore and death metal bands, you would notice a world of difference. Diamond's Judas Priest-influenced fantasy metal is forceful but melodic-if you're seriously into Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queensryche or Grim Reaper, you should be into Diamond as well. But grindcore and death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse and the infamous Deicide are anything but melodic. Nonetheless, a lot of death metallers have admired Diamond's satanic image and his interest in the Occult even though they don't sound anything like him. Released in 2000, this collection finds 11 bands paying tribute to Diamond-many are underground death metal, black metal and grindcore bands (both American and European), and some are not as extreme. King Diamond Tribute is full of bands that don't sound anything like him; so when you hear Exhumed interpreting "No Presents for Christmas," Enthrall embracing "The Portrait" or Dark Funeral tackling "The Trial," don't expect these interesting remakes to sound exactly like Diamond's original versions. On "Dressed in White," Destiny's End favors a very Diamond-like approach, and Ancient's version of "Halloween" is also on the melodic side. But most of the time, Diamond's songs get major makeovers. Some of the makeovers work better than others-and while King Diamond Tribute isn't perfect, it is definitely intriguing. ~ Alex Henderson

Vocalist Sofia Tosello has lived in Argentina, Cuba, and New York City, which to a great degree explains her music, drenched with the melting pot of South American and Spanish tones. All of these selections -- including three songs Tosello wrote or co-write -- are sung with lyrics inspired by chacarera, zamba, and tango music, emphasizing the range of emotions Tosello has experienced in her young life. Physically she's cute as a button, but vocally she's more expressive than her demure facade indicates, never whispering or using breathy charm. Instead Tosello is for the most part a pronounced singer along the lines of a young Celia Cruz or Flora Purim, giving the listener a performance energetic and wise beyond her years. There's no set band on every track, as she uses an array of her international compadres, New York jazz friends including Yosvanny and Yunior Terry, Jorge Roeder, Pedro Giraudo, and various players from recording studios located in N.Y.C., Miami, Madrid, Spain, and Cordoba, Argentina. Because this recording was done in as many as ten studios over a full year's time, and the groups vary in size from vocal/guitar duets to a large ensemble, you get to hear the wide variety of musics lingering in Tosello's head. While fond of the 3/4 time signature, the collective emphasizes differing styles, in the case of "La Clarosa Cruz" a simple, sweet, and spare flamenco, with "La Seca" a Parisian-type love song with accordion, and on Alberto Rojo's "Que Bonito," a spirited plea accented by the clarinet of Anat Cohen. There's a legit Afro-Cuban jazz feel to "Sentirme Libre Contigo" fired up by a three-piece horn section, while the hip and happy "La Verdadera Llama" leaps and lopes in a 4/4 strut inspired by the lead trombone work of Dyan Abad. Throughout the date, Tosello's singing adapts beautifully to the varying adaptations of songs, and is as pitch perfect as any vocalist could dream of. Her comfort zone may lie in the three duets she performs with acoustic guitarist Miguel Rivaynera, whether on the basic "Sin Piel," the traditional sounding "Nacida en Agua De Guerra," or the slow, purely romantic "Nada." Yosvanny Terry's lilting soprano sax gets two feature showcases; on ...
