Founded in the mid-90's by frontman Michael Layer, Bodragaz has evolved into a relentless powerhouse of melodic hard rock. From it's AOR roots, Bodragaz's sound has continuously grown more compelling, the music and songwriting deeper and richer, with each consecutive release. The music of the four-piece band Bodragaz could be classified as a classic "Heavy Metal" but, after you listen carefully you realize that, the musical style is very near in spirit and in sound to the melodic metal movement, adding some prog metal atmospheres. The instrumentation, rhythm, and vocals are somewhat different this time around, drawing influences from a variety of sources, sometimes using agressive musical passages with hard guitar sounds, sometimes adding melodic structures over it using extraordinary keyboard synths, melodic vocals and occasionally metallic guitar riffs to great effect, the end result is a true excursion into the best world of Melodic Metal, Heavy Metal and Prog Metal styles. "Awaken" the band's sixth full-length cd, represents the culmination of that growth. The album was recorded at Highland Studios. Produced by Michael Layer and engineered by Gusty Christensen at 2008 Fox Street Records, contains ten tracks with 50 minutes full of an amazing music. A special and particular attention to and my favourite songs are: "Awaken", "Rise", "Forever", "Dusk" and the main highlight are the the epics songs called "Beautiful", "Beyond", "Shine" and "Dreamtry this", but in fact "Awaken" is a great album and deserves the maximum rating, of course Bodragaz will be loved by the fans of true Melodic Metal and Heavy Metal, because the material on this album is very impressive and is a real winner for fans of "Nightwish", "Lacuna Coil", "Within Temptation", and "Queensrÿche". The musicians on the band are: Michael Layer - Lead & Backing Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Jim Wescott - Bass Guitar, Lead & Backing Vocals, Charles J. Dickey - Lead Guitar, Keyboards and Mike Taft - Drums. Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable. Bodragaz band is a must for lovers of Melodic Metal, Heavy Metal and Prog Metal fans around the world...
