It's another lovely Sunday here, and today it is symphonic power metal Sunday if you really must know. Obviously, there's one band that gets their feature today. Ancient Bards and I may have had a rocky first encounter, but they're high on my list of favourite bands now. Though I'll always be an Anette-o-phile, Sara Squadrani might as well be another same-sex-crush of mine. But enough about that. Let's keep things epic today. And does ten minutes garner an epic? I say that if your song is that long, it better be epic, and I'm sure as hell that "All That Is True" is.
"All That Is True" showcases Sara singing a conversation between lovers. Yes, people, we've got a love story on our hands, but don't worry. Metal love songs have never let me down. Lyrics and content aside, you also have the rest of the band tackling some always-epic guitars, the string section (resurrected and better than ever) and a backing chorus for a few key lines. Epic, children. Epic. "All That Is True" will may even the most forever alone readers fall for the story.
After all, it's the story that makes the song.
