Considering that this band is still fairly new to the scene and listeners' ears, this is quite a bold statement, and even moreso to have released songs on that EP that are supposedly from albums that will tentatively be released a year or more away. Worst of all is the ending. By far the most powerful riff in this EP is the main theme of Green Iris with its odd-time signatures. He travels from town to town, sharing his visions of peace and happiness with everyone he meets. She sees a man there, only a shadow that moves behind the backlit curtains and stirs beyond the crumbling walls. Meridian I Independent

PHAVIAN Meridian I reviews

I liked the previous EP, maybe a tad more than this one, but "Meridian I" displays some serious musicality and shouldn't be dismissed. Forum user Forum password.

It's nothing terribly special but it's an enjoyable song. We also get our first taste of the vocals here, which I personally find phaviann be one of the weaknesses of the band. Another downside to the album was the mix, which often seemed to bring the quality of the music down by a slight amount.

MERIDIAN I

The climax 'Feldgrau' which I first heard as a sample on 'Foreword' has a guitar sound and central riff that sounds like it could have been right out of Mikael Akerfeldt's songbook.

Though the rhythm does not really change, we can notice that it does progresses thanks to the different figures on the guitar, and the dynamism of the musicians in their respective instruments, you can better appreciate this with good headphones. Copyright Prog Archives, All rights reserved.

Thanks to Rune for the artist addition. The darkly melodies sounds of latter-era Katatonia come to mind here, although the female vocals of Elizabeth Matson seem to gear Phavian to an almost symphonic metal sound. Now you can rest and feel more relaxed.

Happily, "Stil de Grain" neridian the album again on an upwards trend. This is one of the pros of the song, it has several changes in time and mood, which let us know about the band's compositional skills. Meridian II is Phavian's second step in the 4-album series of their concept Meridian and the third studio album since their inception.

As this is only pt. Meridian I Independent Defeated, he retreats into the darkness He will bring peace, happiness and tranquility to the world.

It opens with "Feldgrau", one of the shorter tracks of the EP.

Happily, "Stil de Grain" sets the album again on an upwards trend. Stil de Grain 5: The other long song of the album, "Tyrian" thankfully does not fall into the same problems as "Cobalt and Crimson.

The other long song of the album, "Tyrian" thankfully does not fall into the same problems as "Cobalt and Crimson.

The only thing that seems to be keeping Phavian's melodies from leaping out of the speakers is the fact that the meidian is a little dull. Later the guitar sound is prominent and the different instruments join and create a stronger melody. He can see disdain in the eyes of entire groups in the crowds, and always, dark shapes on their faces and behind their eyes.

Add to this the in my opinion poor vocal melodies and even the short 37 minute duration feels a little long. Playing a style of melodic metal clearly influenced by Opeth, Phavian demonstrated some strong potential on 'Foreword', and the first album in the series continues to impress me. While the songs are not overly complex, they display a consistent quality that is admirable.
