Description/Reviews:
Between the acoustic meandering and melancholic clean vocals that introduce the opening track “White Morning in a World She Knows,” I initially thought that Aria was to be a slab of obvious Opeth worship. As the proceedings blossom into colorful symphonic prog in the Native Construct vein, and later into a dense bout of blackened Krallice riffs, this comparison became an afterthought. In the tradition of Aquilus and Wilderun, Dessiderium uses their Opeth affinity as a platform for reaching higher ambitions. What sets Aria apart from many of its contemporaries, however, is its uniquely optimistic tone. Dessiderium largely eschews minor scales in favor of a more traditionally melodic palette. It doesn’t necessarily sound “happy” in a power metal way, but its atmosphere of adventure and sage acceptance is colorful in a way most extreme metal bands can’t touch.Read the full review by Eldritch Elitist at angrymetalguy.com
