Avis\u00a0:<\/b><\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019univers du Heavy M\u00e9tal, il y a Judas Priest<\/b>, il y a Iron Maiden<\/b>, et il y a les autres, chacun essayant de se sortir les doigts du cul pour se tailler une part du g\u00e2teau. Bien entendu, je caricature tout cela, mais il faut dire que parfois, certains groupes plus ou moins connus essayent vainement de copier leurs a\u00een\u00e9s et que parfois, cela donne quelque chose de plus ou moins classique et de plus ou moins r\u00e9ussi. Icy Steel<\/b>, ou le M\u00e9tal Glac\u00e9 pour les allergiques \u00e0 la langue de Shakespeare, est un groupe de Heavy originaire, une fois n\u2019est pas coutume, d\u2019Italie. Apr\u00e8s avoir test\u00e9 le groupe bizarre mais int\u00e9ressant Turbo Rexx<\/b>, voici le tour de Icy Steel<\/b>. N\u00e9anmoins, ce groupe a un peu plus de bouteille que le groupe pr\u00e9cit\u00e9. En effet, Icy Steel<\/b> s\u2019est form\u00e9 en 2005 et a sorti son premier album en 2007 sous le sobriquet de Icy Steel<\/b>, comme tr\u00e8s souvent dans les premiers skeud. Trois ans plus tard sort As the Gods Command <\/b>et c\u2019est en 2012 qu\u2019arrive leur troisi\u00e8me album, Kronothor<\/b>. Mais que peut bien cacher ce nom, rappelant les dieux nordiques mais aussi les dieux grecs\u00a0? L\u2019album est-il bon ou de facture trop classique\u00a0? Allons \u00e0 la d\u00e9couverte de ce groupe au nom et \u00e0 la pochette si\u2026 kitsch\u00a0!<\/p>\n

L\u2019album de Icy Steel<\/b> commence comme n\u2019importe quel album lambda de heavy m\u00e9tal. En effet, avec une introduction qui dure un peu moins de deux minutes, Spacecraft<\/i> d\u00e9bute plut\u00f4t bien, comme un morceau purement m\u00e9tal, pour finir comme un vieux morceau heavy sans grande saveur ni grande ing\u00e9niosit\u00e9. Et c\u2019est ce qui va marquer l\u2019album tout le long de l\u2019\u00e9coute. En imposant un style simple et classique, le groupe va avoir du mal \u00e0 se d\u00e9marquer des autres groupes pr\u00e9sentant le m\u00eame style musical. Avec 10 pi\u00e8ces pour une dur\u00e9e totale de 43 minutes et des poussi\u00e8res, le groupe semble avoir du mal \u00e0 se sortir du sch\u00e9ma et du clich\u00e9 des groupes avec des sonorit\u00e9s heavy et alliant la fantasy dans leur univers. Le seul int\u00e9r\u00eat que peut pr\u00e9senter l\u2019album est certaines ruptures int\u00e9ressantes \u00e0 la guitare s\u00e8che, d\u00e9marquant un moment calme au milieu des morceaux et qui sont plut\u00f4t bien sympathiques. On peut entendre cela avec The War Within<\/i> ou encore Memories From the Past<\/i>. On sera par contre plus dubitatif sur certains morceaux comme King Without Kingdom<\/i> qui est tr\u00e8s redondante et peu int\u00e9ressante. L\u2019autre point faible va \u00eatre le triptyque au milieu de l\u2019album avec Earth\u2026<\/i>, \u2026Wind\u2026<\/i>, \u2026Sky<\/i>, qui est comme tout le reste de l\u2019album, classique, qui n\u2019a rien d\u2019\u00e9pique et il manque v\u00e9ritablement un souffle au groupe. Si beaucoup de groupes, comme Rhapsody<\/b> par exemple, s\u2019emploient \u00e0 utiliser des violons ou m\u00eame parfois des orchestres, Icy Steel<\/b> demeure bien trop petit et c\u2019est dommage. N\u00e9anmoins, l\u2019album est loin d\u2019\u00eatre une purge, puisque les musiciens sont tr\u00e8s bons et que le tout reste tout de m\u00eame tr\u00e8s correct. Le principal d\u00e9faut \u00e9tant qu\u2019il n\u2019y a rien de vraiment extraordinaire, il n\u2019y a pas de pi\u00e8ce ma\u00eetresse.<\/p>\n

\"images\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Au niveau du chant, on reste l\u00e0 aussi dans un classique parfois un peu trop copi\u00e9. On est loin des chants aigus \u00e0 la Iron Maiden<\/b>, mais on est loin aussi des chants d\u00e9saccord\u00e9s de Danzig<\/b>. Le chanteur poss\u00e8de un bel organe (je parle de la voix, pas de ce qu\u2019il y a entre les jambes\u00a0!) et il s\u2019en sort plut\u00f4t bien. Mais comme tout le reste de l\u2019album, \u00e7a reste trop petit pour le c\u00f4t\u00e9 \u00e9pique affich\u00e9. Il ne poussera jamais la voix, on n\u2019aura jamais des envol\u00e9s lyriques et pire encore, parfois la musique est beaucoup plus forte que le chant, et de ce fait, on l\u2019entend \u00e0 peine\u00a0! Alors parfois \u00e7a ressemble \u00e0 du Axel Rudi Pell<\/b> ou \u00e0 d\u2019autres groupes du m\u00eame style, mais sans en avoir la carrure et c\u2019est bien dommage.<\/p>\n

Au final, Kronothor<\/b>, le dernier album de Icy Steel<\/b> est un album sympathique, mais bien trop conventionnel et sans grande pi\u00e8ce majeure. Cela est d\u2019ailleurs un gros d\u00e9faut, puisqu\u2019aucune chanson ne retient notre int\u00e9r\u00eat et que parfois, on s\u2019ennuie en \u00e9coutant l\u2019album. N\u00e9anmoins, la ma\u00eetrise technique des instruments est tr\u00e8s bonne et on sent qu\u2019il ne manque pas grand-chose au groupe pour devenir un grand. En attendant, rien ne remplacera un bon Iron Maiden<\/b> ou un bon Judas Priest<\/b>\u00a0!<\/p>\n
