Amberian Dawn, a Finnish symphonic metal band released a compilation album “Re-Evolution” of the most successful songs from their four previous albums as a way to introduce and show off the talents of their new singer Capri after the departure of Heidi Parviainen. It is not a groundbreaking album, there are no real new songs to review but Capri does change something, from a technical standpoint the sound is very different and leaning more and more towards power metal compared to the Heidi era. Most of the songs on the album are catchy, which is why they are on it in the first place I guess, but they sound somewhat overproduced at some times.

Capri most definitely has the vocal skills needed and even if you are an avid fan of the old Amberian Dawn with the original singer you shouldn’t ignore this compilation but it’s a bit of shame that the band didn’t create any new songs for her.
