Nato nel 1995  il quintetto milanese ha subito nel corso degli anni numerosi cambi di  line-up, combattutto divergenze di ogni tipo e costruito con impegno un  solido progetto musicale che, con il supporto della label <strong>&#8216;My Kingdom Music&#8217;<\/strong> \u00e8 riuscito a presentare <strong>&#8220;WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES&#8221;<\/strong>.  Rilasciato il 10 ottobre 2011, questo corposo quinto full-lenght album  rappresenta la fatica pi\u00f9 ambiziosa dei nostri, nonch\u00e8 il consolidamento  di una line-up finalmente definitiva.<\/p>\n<p>WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES \u00e8  un disco vario e ben articolato che, in ogni pezzo, propone nuovi spunti  e soluzioni stilistiche. Nonostante non sia un amante dei concept album  power-oriented, la storia del pilota di caccia <strong>Hal Gardner<\/strong> che,  in lotta contro gli alieni a New York, viene colpito da un raggio alieno  e rimembra le sue reincarnazioni, ha suscitato in me molta curiosit\u00e0.  Bellissimi pezzi comel&#8217;overture <strong>&#8216;Hyperspace-The arrival&#8217;<\/strong>, un trionfo orchestrale e bombastico dal gradevolissimo sapore epic o i semplici accordi di chitarra e la bellissima voce di <strong>Dave Dell&#8217;Orto<\/strong> in <strong>&#8220;Day of the Gods&#8221;<\/strong>, un intenso episodio acustico di 2.18 minuti. Da segnalare, inoltre, pezzi chiave dell&#8217;album come l&#8217;epicissima <strong>&#8220;Winter Soldiers&#8221;<\/strong> e l&#8217;oscura <strong>&#8220;When Lightning Strikes&#8221;<\/strong>,  title-track riuscitissima che combina parti di moderno power metal con  accorgimenti dal gradevole sapore vintage. Invidiabile, inoltre, la  performance del vocalist Dave che, traccia dopo traccia, dimostra che si  pu\u00f2 essere cantanti power anche senza scadere nel parodico o nel  cattivo gusto. Concetto che, ad oggi, moltissimi POWER METALLERS  fomentati non hanno chiaro. Un disco che bisogna ascoltare ed avere, per  tanti motivi. Soprattutto gli amanti di <strong>Blind Guardian, Helloween e Rage<\/strong> troveranno in &#8220;WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES&#8221; pane per le loro orecchie.<\/p>\n<p>Ai Drakkar auguro un futuro ricco di soddisfazioni e altri 100 album all&#8217;insegna del metal. <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The  Dragonship sails again! And after all, that should come as no surprise,  because no matter how much shit you throw its way, metal never dies.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":23546,"template":"","class_list":["post-13889","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DRAKKAR - When Lightning Strikes - Heavyworlds.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/review\/drakkar-when-lightning-strikes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DRAKKAR - When Lightning Strikes - Heavyworlds.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Percorso ricco e travagliato, quello dei DRAKKAR.
