<p>ANTHEA werden am 23. Oktober 2020  ihr Debütalbum &#8222;Illusion&#8220; veröffentlichen!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ANTHEA &#8211; Die Band</h3>



<p><strong>ANTHEA </strong>sind eine noch recht frische Band (gegründet 2015) aus Los Angeles (Kalifornien, USA). Ihr Musikstil wird mit Symphonic Power Metal beschrieben. Ihr Einflüsse sind Bands wie <strong>Kamelot</strong>, <strong>Nightwish </strong>und <strong>Wintersun</strong>. Eine (allerdings nicht seltene) Besonderheit ist die Mischung von Klargesang (Diego Valdez) und Screams (Juan Pina).</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ANTHEA &#8211; Illusion &#8211; die Review</h3>



<p>Mit dem Titel &#8222;Reach&#8220; wird das Album eröffnet und zunächst einmal braucht man etwas Eingewöhnungszeit, um sich an die Mischung des Klagesangs (den Sänger Diego Valdez auch noch sehr variantenreich einsetzt) und Schreigesang zu gewöhnen. Spätestens mit dem zweiten (sehr starken) Titel &#8222;Eclipse&#8220; hat man sich jedoch eingefunden und man kann die <strong>leicht progressiv</strong> angehauchten Songs genießen. Neben dem gelungen Zusammenspiel der Sänger, können besonders die sehr schön eingepflegten Gitarrensoli überzeugen. Das gefühlvolle <strong>&#8222;Morai&#8220;</strong> (mit Gastsängerin <strong>Chiuara Tricario</strong>) stellt dann einen weiten Höhepunkt des Albums dar. Hier für euch das <strong>Lyric-Video</strong> dazu:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="video-container"><iframe title="ANTHEA - Moirai (feat. Chiara Tricarico) [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MwnLx0cuMnM?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Auch der Titelsong <strong>&#8222;Illusion&#8220;</strong> kann überzeugen und wurde als Video veröffentlicht:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="video-container"><iframe title="ANTHEA - Illusion (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hKVTIwXc0ek?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Highlight und Abwechslung</h3>



<p>Das folgende &#8222;The Light Divine&#8220; ist mit rd. 6 1/2 Minuten der längste Song des Albums. Ein ungemein interessanter und abwechslungsreicher Track, bei dem <strong>Eric Meyers</strong> (mir nicht bekannt <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> ) als zusätzlicher Gitarrist mitgewirkt hat. Ein wirklich sehr starker Song, den ich als weiteren Anspieltipp bezeichnen würde. Die folgenden Titel &#8222;Discovery&#8220; und &#8222;The Expedition&#8220; fallen kaum ab und die Halbballade &#8222;Reflections&#8220; zeigt die Band noch einmal von einer anderen Seite. Diego Valadez setzt hier seine Stimme noch einmal sehr gekonnt ein. Den Abschluss bietet eine <strong>Orchesterversion </strong>von &#8222;Morai&#8220;, die dem Song eine andere und ebenfalls sehr gelungene Note gibt.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ANTHEA mit starkem Debüt</h3>



<p>Die Kalifornier von ANTHEA haben mit &#8222;Illusion&#8220; ein wirklich <strong>sehr starkes Debütalbum</strong> am Start. Auch wenn man sich klar an den oben genannten Vorbildern orientiert, ist die Mischung doch wirklich gut gelungen. Nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit kann das Album <strong>voll überzeugen</strong>. Ich kann es euch wirklich guten Gewissens empfehlen. Eine Vorbestellung ist <a href="https://shop.rockshots.eu/en/home/1744-anthea-illusion.html">HIER</a> möglich. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dass unsere italienischen Nachbarn mehr als Pizza und Lambrusco drauf haben, beweisen Mark, Symon, Danny, Paul und Fede von <strong>Forbidden Sesaons</strong>. Wir von <strong>metal-heads.de</strong> sprachen exklusiv mit der neuen Hardcore-Hoffnung Italiens. Und es gab viel zu reden. Schließlich ist das Quintett aus Turin erst seit 2016 am Start. Wir plauderten über die Russland-Tour der Band, über die im Januar 2017  bei <strong>Time To Kill Records</strong> veröffentlichte EP  &#8222;<strong>Paramnesia</strong>&#8220; EP und natürlich über die Ideen und Ziele der jungen Band. Zuerst aber macht euch anhand der ersten Single-Auskopplung selbst ein Bild von Forbidden Seasons, bevor es mit dem Interview losgeht.</p>
<h3>Das offizielle Musikvideo zu &#8222;Illusion&#8220;</h3>

<p><em><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-60402" src="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/61GHEY6gxZL._AC_US327_QL65_-300x300.jpg" alt="Forbidden Seasons" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/61GHEY6gxZL._AC_US327_QL65_-300x300.jpg 300w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/61GHEY6gxZL._AC_US327_QL65_-150x150.jpg 150w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/61GHEY6gxZL._AC_US327_QL65_-160x160.jpg 160w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/61GHEY6gxZL._AC_US327_QL65_-320x320.jpg 320w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/61GHEY6gxZL._AC_US327_QL65_.jpg 327w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> Your first single is named &#8222;Illusion.&#8220; Tell us about the idea behind? Who does the songwriting in your band?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p>Illusion was our first videoclip; we filmed it with our friends in Lucernafilms, one week after danny and fede joined the band. We wanted to film it in a very wide and open space; unfortunately that day was very foggy but we succeeded in making good shots anyway. It was also very cold, we were freezing to death!</p>
<p>Everyone helps in writing songs; usually the main idea is brought by our guitarist Symon, after developed by Fede with drums and synths. Voice is usually the last to join the song.</p>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> Forbidden Seasons exists since 2016. Although you are active for less than 2 years you already played in Russia. How was this experience?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="IT">It’s been an amazing experience, definitely the best two weeks of our entire life! People were fire, and they showed so much love and support. We can’t wait to be back on the road!</span></p>
<h3>Der feine Unterschied zwischen italienischen und russischen Hardcore-Fans</h3>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> Are there differences between italian and russian fans?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="IT">In Italy there are not many metalcore fans, and the few follow only the top famous bands; anyway Russian fans were so kind and a feeling was immediately established. We will never forget them, and we can’t wait to see them again!</span></p>
<div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="CRY EXCESS, FORBIDDEN SEASONS @ АФИША, 12.02.17" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BA27CsqdCCw?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> As we are a german music magazin, we really would like to know if we have the possibiltity to see you playing live somewhere nearby? Do you come over the alps for some summer open air festivals perhaps?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="IT">We really hope so! We’re setting up a tour plan, and we’ll share all of the informations as soon as possible!</span></p>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> Do you have further future plans like recording a new and full CD? Until now there is only one EP called &#8222;Paramnesia&#8220; right?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="IT">Actually our new full-length album came out on March 16th; it is called Promise, and it features 10 original tracks plus one official video for the song Thank You For The Venom, actually on YouTube!</span></p>
<h3>Zum Leben auf dem Rücksitz</h3>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> Getting personally. You come from Turin. How is life there and how is the music underground especially in your hometown and generally the Hardcore and Metal scene in Italy?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="IT">Life in Turin is kind of boring… Unfortunately, metal in Italy is taking a back seat in music industry, which is more and more focused on pop and rap artists. So the few metal bands find it hard way to emerge!</span></p>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> So it must be hard touring in other countries and missing your good food and family or do you enjoy this?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p><span lang="IT">Of course when you’re on the road you may be a little homesick, but it definitely worth it; touring is the main goal for every band, and there’s always time go back home and relax… later!</span></p>
<h3>Aus der neuen Scheibe&#8230;</h3>
<div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Forbidden Seasons - Keys and Locks (Official Audio)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ryl0oiNrJeE?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p><em><strong>Metal-heads.de:</strong></em> As in every interview the last word is one you. So what do you want to let our readers readers and hopefully news fans from Forbidden Seasons know?</p>
<p><span lang="IT"><strong>Forbidden Seasons:</strong></span></p>
<p>We love every single person that supports us and metalcore music; remember to follow your dreams even if it’s hard or if you have to leave everything behind to make it. Keep your heads up high and never loose your flame!</p>
<p>Check out our new album Promise, out now on digital stores; many news are coming really soon!</p>
