Revontulet is a female fronted Symphonic Metal band from Russia. The band was formed somewhere in 2008, when the future core of the band, Alexandra Revontulet (songwriting, vocals) and Sergey Zorg (drums), found each other in the Internet. During the next two years the line-up changed many times, until 2010 when they finally found a steady line up. During that time the band started working on their music witch can best be described as traditional Russian symphonic music combined with metal, powerful and enchanting mezzo-soprano, complex orchestrations and driving rhythm section.
But it doesn’t work. Don’t get me wrong I like every part of every song individually, but just not together presented as this. Main issue here is that it lacks the power of metal to truly make it something memorable.
