![]() The symphonic and melodic vocal dueting between Clémentine Delauncey and Michele Guaitoli was engaging and really elevated their thematic songwriting. While conducting some research for this show, I will readily admit I was slightly concerned about the theatrics of donning piratesque garb on stage, but in fact that enhanced the whole Visions of Atlantis experience. Peter de Reyna – Electric and Upright Bassįollowing a quick 10 minute changeover (the bands shared drum kits), Austrian metal band Visions of Atlantis took the stage to their tune “Master the Hurricane” from their forthcoming album due out May 13, Pirates. Seven Spires only played for 30 minutes, but the early, near-capacity crowd clearly was energized now for what was to come. Backed by talented Jack Kosto (guitar), Peter de Reyna (bass) and Chris Dovas (drums), Cowan and the band performed seven songs (not sure if that irony was on purpose?), including “Lightbringer” from Gods of Debauchery with Firewind’s singer Herbie Langhans. I was really impressed with how she could flow from delicate to death metal within the same song. Opening with “Wanderer’s Prayer” from said disc, you get an immediate sense of vocalist Adrienne Cowan’s powerful range. Seven Spires is out on the road supporting their third full-length album, Gods of Debauchery, released in September 2021. Kicking off the night at 7:30pm was Boston-based Seven Spires, a band of friends that formed in 2013 at the Berklee College of Music. Having no idea what to expect, my 17-year-old guitarist son (who was just dying to see DragonForce’s Herman Li shred) and I pulled into the venue parking deck 45 minutes before the doors were scheduled to open only to find 100+ fans already lined up! Maybe we underestimated their popularity, or maybe it was just the fact it was finally 70 degrees in Atlanta, but by the time the doors opened at 6:30pm, it was clear by the long winding lines that The Masquerade was going to be packed to the rafters. Supporting DragonForce on this tour stop were three openers, including Seven Spires, Visions of Atlantis, and Firewind. Continuing the quest to broaden my musical horizons in 2022, I ventured out on Sunday night to catch DragonForce’s Extreme Power Metal tour at The Masquerade in downtown Atlanta.
