ESTATE – Fantasia

Estate is a new band out of Russia comprised of 5 talented youngsters with the goal of taking on the world with their brand of Metal. Their first release is entitled Fantasia, which is filled with 11 quality tracks of Melodic Metal laced with Power Metal and Progressive Metal undertones. Though Russian, vocalist Alexander Chumakov comes across clearly and without any noticeable accent … in fact, he’s one of the highlights of this album. There’s nothing particularly new or mind-blowing on Fantasia, but it’s produced well, and each song simply contains quality musicianship, pleasant lyrics, and noticeable dedication and passion.
