Sea of Tranquility reviews album

There has been something of a procession of top quality Metal bands to burst onto the scene from Sweden and here we have yet another to add to the list. Inmoria features the Tad Morose quartet of Christer Andersson on guitar, Danne Eriksson on keyboards, Tommi Karppanen on bass and Peter Moren on drums. The band's sophomore album, A Farewell To Nothing - The Diary Part 1 is also notable for marking the debut of Danish vocalist Søren "Nico" Adamsen (Artillery) with all of the material flowing from the pen of Eriksson.

Very much at the heavier end of the Power Metal spectrum there is nevertheless an abundance of melody to be found here, perhaps unsurprisingly given that the composer is responsible for the keyboards that provide a subtle backdrop to the urgent onslaught of grinding riffs. Adamsen has a delivery that carries both power and clarity and whilst the lyrical themes are, as implied by titles such as "End of the Line", "My Last Farewell" and "Why", somewhat dark and foreboding this is largely uptempo stuff. It all makes for a winning formula with "The Mirror" and "Just Another Lie" amongst the stand out moments of what is a very consistent release.
There is a lot to admire about Inmoria and this is an album well worth adding to your collection; it is due to be released via the German Rock It Up label together with a digital version through Metalbox. Pleasingly the band will also be visiting the UK for some shows throughout October and the link below will give you the full schedule.
