\n

Discovering fantastic new music by an endeavoring young artist is one of the great joys of being a music fan, especially for one who really enjoys and has listened to a lot of symphonic and progressive rock and heavy metal. There was an explosion of artists in this genre in the late 90\u2019s\/early 2000\u2019s (pioneered by Theatre of Tragedy, Nightwish and Within Temptation), and followed up with many other great artists like Leaves\u2019 Eyes, After Forever, Epica, Eluveitie (really too many to mention) and more recently Xandria. While some of the female-fronted bands in this genre have moved into a more melodic metal direction (like Delain and more recent Within Temptation), others have moved in the direction of folk\/Celtic music with a wide variety of ethnic influences and instrumentation. Leah would probably fall in this latter category, although I would not really pigeon-hole The Quest<\/span> in any one genre as there really are many facets to this powerful and elegant music. I think if you mix Loreena McKennitt with the aforementioned symphonic power and gothic metal sounds you have a pretty good description of the music of Leah.<\/p>\n

\n

I confess that I am new to Leah\u2019s music so I am not able to provide any comparison to her 3 previous releases \u2013 Of Earth & Angels<\/span> (2012), Otherworld<\/span> (2013) and Kings & Queens<\/span> (2015). What I can say is that as much as I follow this scene, I am surprised that I have not previously heard any of her music (shame on me) because what I am hearing on The Quest<\/span> is exceptional. And while her lyrics are not overtly Christian (touted more as fantasy-based) they do have a positive emphasis with an open-ended interpretation applicable to listeners from all walks in life and faith. The production and mixing quality is fantastic (Oliver Phillips\/Jacob Hansen) and it was immediately apparent to me (just reviewing the list of artists employed here) that Leah \u2013 much like Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon\/Star One\/Gentle Storm) \u2013 is not only a gifted musician, but also a gifted collaborator. Troy Donockley from Nightwish (pipes and flutes), Chen Balbus from Orphaned Land (saz and oud) and Timo Somers from Delain (guitars) are just a few of the contributors here, each bringing in their own expertise and interpretations to the music. Sander Zoer (ex-Delain) lays down the drum rhythms with power and pace, when called upon, but this isn\u2019t a power metal album by any means so don\u2019t expect an endless onslaught of double bass.<\/p>\n

\n

The opening (and title track) is a 10 minute opus which perfectly exhibits the juxtaposition of ethereal melody with heavy rock\/metal crunch. The vocal chants in the introduction herald the Middle-Eastern melodies which follow. While all of the typical elements of symphonic metal infuse this track, the breakdown chorus at the 7 minute mark serves to set apart the music of Leah from others in the genre \u2013 her voice is an instrument that can completely carry the song at any given moment. She steers clear of the operatic soprano wailings in operatic metal that sometime make the words indiscernible \u2013 her voice is centered, yet magical and heavenly all the same. \u201cEdge Of The World\u201d takes on a more aggressive, almost Within Temptation radio-friendly flavor, the faster metal-paced drums playing a greater role. \u201cLion Arises\u201d is similarly a song that most fans of gothic, symphonic metal will embrace with fervor. \u201cI\u2019m at peace as the lion arises\u2026\u201d Once again, there is this balance between aggression and peace \u2026 and it is repeated over and over again on this album.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Troy Donockley\u2019s pipes\/flutes really take over on \u201cRuins Of Illusion\u201d and on the follow-up track \u201cLabyrinth,\u201d the latter track one of the most lyrically deep and profound tracks on the album. The beautifully melodic chorus echoes, \u201conce upon a time I was so lost inside this labyrinth\/let me dream on\/within these walls both saint and sinner will fall\/the chains which bind us all.\u201d The cinematic elements on \u201cAbyss\u201d take things even higher, the Celtic lilt to the melody entrancing. Here, also, is one of the moments where the guitar, pipes, drums and instruments collide with passion and fervor. Like the title track, this song similarly delivers on multiple fronts and showcases everything Leah and friends have to offer. This glory ebbs into the piano-driven \u201cOblivion,\u201d another balladic song which alludes to the struggle of living \u201cbetween two worlds.\u201d \u201cGhost Upon A Throne\u201d feels like a triumphant arrival\/conclusion both musically and lyrically. This mid-tempo song has a definite melodic\/commercial vibe, declaring with confidence, \u201cI believe I\u2019m throwing off these chains\/I can see you\u2019d never want this way\/and my bleeding heart never betrayed\/now this shadowed past will be forgotten.\u201d The final track \u201cThe Water Is Wide\u201d is essentially a hymn \u2013 a beautiful melody (think \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d) \u2013 a tribute to love.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Needless to say, The Quest<\/span> is a triumphant collection of songs \u2013 an album I will be \u201clistening\u201d to and enjoying for many months. If you are a fan of female-fronted heavy music with cinematic and symphonic\/progressive qualities then you shouldn\u2019t hesitate to check this out.<\/p>\n

Editorial note:<\/span> A few months ago I posted a blog about the lost art of \u201clistening\u201d to music rather than just experiencing it as the backdrop\/sound track to our daily living [Metallum Medicus (Case #2) The Collector’s Obsession<\/span>]<\/a>. The Quest <\/span>offers up an incredible selection of musical compositions for \u201clistening\u201d and I would highly encourage anyone reading this review (if you are interested in gothic\/symphonic\/Celtic, multi-national music) to sit down with this release and really hear everything going on here both musically and spiritually.<\/p>\n
