CoC : De Ros - Ad Dei Gloriam : Review

De Ros - _Ad Dei Gloriam_
by: Adrian Bromley (3 out of 5)

Hailing from Brazil, this trio, led by guitarist Marco DeRos, is a rather gifted bunch of musicians who rely a lot on crafty guitar work and strong and creative song structures in their music. Just listen to any of the fourteen songs found on the band's debut album, _Ad Dei Gloriam_, and you will see the ingenuity and craftsmanship that goes into each song, i.e. "La Leyenda Del Brujo", "Taste of Poison", "Swing From Hell", and "Naturally Petrified". The music mainly falls into the hard rock/progressive musical category and that is where I think a lot of the band's fans would generate from. Fans that enjoy work from Queensryche, Yngwie Malmsteem, and maybe even Savatage would get into this music. Note: there are no lyrics here, just music. While just under 40 minutes, _ADG_ is quite a good listen if you feel like letting the band take you away into their imaginative world for a little while.
