About:
“Dreams are rudiments of the great state to come. We dream what is about to happen.”
From-‘The Wordsworth Dictionary of Dreams’
All human creativity springs from our dreams. When we ‘sleep, perchance to dream’ as William Shakespeare memorably wrote, we tap into the deep creative wellspring within us all. It is a universal truth that anything new has to be thought before it can forged by inspired hands and minds into new forms; endless, inspiring and beautiful.
Such a dream-creation is symphonic power metal band TRAGUL; the very name a product of a dream of its creator, keyboardist and composer Adrian Benegas. As Benegas explains.
“It describes the union between the inner divine spirit and the human being through music. I decided to use the word Tragul, not only because it was born from an inner experience, but because I always wanted to be unique and what is more unique than to use a name that other bands can’t have? I am very into esoteric matters. I am always looking for answers in that field, so I take very seriously everything related to it.”
Inspired by Nightwish, Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Dionysus, Benegas describes TRAGUL’s music as “strong, melodic, dramatic, rhythmic, and bright.” Tragul’s members, vocalist Zuberoa Aznarez (Diabulus In Musica), guitarist Steve Conley (Flotsam and Jetsam), bassist Oliver Holzwarth (ex Blind Guardian, ex Rhapsody of Fire, ex Tarja) and drummer Alex Holzwarth (ex Rhapsody of Fire) bring a galaxy of talent to enhance and execute Benegas’ sonic dreamscapes.
As befits such a musically innovative band, TRAGUL are exploring new nontraditional worlds when it comes to getting their music heard. TRAGUL’s releases come in a song-by-song format on all the major digital platforms.

It’s fast, it’s heavy, it’s exciting, and it doesn’t try too hard to be something it’s not, while also knowing exactly what it is. That’s a rare trait to have in a band, and it shows their consistency and maturity as songwriters; you can really tell this is not their first album. The ultimate takeaway here is that WARCALL deserve a lot more attention than what they’re currently getting. I hope to see them take things to the next level on their next full-length.

There is also an impressive and surprising degree of clarity to the vocal rasping vitriolic delivery, even on ‘Witch’s Lair’ which has that distant, recorded from another room sound, hugely atmospheric…The overall musicianship is sound and hopefully this is just the start of greater things to come from Grimtone.

0 Maximum Metal – Mason – Impervious
‘Impervious’ sees Mason as a tightly wound thrash act. Tons of solos erupt from the twin-guitar attack, built to precision with one of the best production jobs I’ve heard in a long time. Vocally it is clean and aggressive with tracks that stimulate effective chorus sections. Mason is a cleverly defined, precise thrash metal band that rivals underground sensations like Game Over and Havok.
