Did you ever thought that Metal music could blend in well with Portuguese traditional Fado? No? Well me neither... until I've listened to this track by Dallian: "Caixa Pensatória", and realized how these two very unlikely allies could work along well together.
And it's really amazing when you listen, more towards the end of this song, to the transition of the strong powerful riffs giving place to the deep sad Fado music. It's the only track of the album where you can listen to this Metal/Fado fusion, as the rest it's all about the main prog/symphonic death metal sound of the band, but it does prove that when there's an open mind and creativity, one can blend in various genres and styles altogether.
Dallian were founded just two years ago in Leiria, Portugal, and the band describe themselves as being an unlikely synthesis, due to the alchemical merging of Metal music and the aesthetics of steampunk. The members are Carlos Amado (vocals/guitars/Portuguese guitar), Ricardo Carniça (guitars/backing vocals), Leandro Faustino (guitars) and André Fragoso (drums/percurssion).
In May of last year they have released their first full-length album: "Automata", so far the band's unique work of their discography, but surely one of many more to come!

Fleshgod Apocalypse - "Epilogue"
I had the chance to witness live the Italian symphonic death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse, from Perugia, last July at Laurus Nobilis Music in Famalicão, nothern Portugal, and for me it was definitely the best performance of the festival!
The stage is set to look like an opera house, and as the members take their positions above with their old fashioned suits, folks quickly realize they will soon get into a very theatrical show.
Their death metal sound is powerful and brutal, but beautiful at the same time if you listen carefully to the classical melodies of the piano, cello and the soprano vocals of Veronica Bordacchini, as she makes a mighty stand on stage with her scepter.
Here's "Epilogue", from their third full-length release "Labyrinth" (2013), which was also part of the set at Laurus. If you don't know Fleshgod Apocalypse, when you watch this video you will get a clear picture of what I described above:
