The latest realease from Chrysalis shows a tremendous
amount of growth and musical maturity for such a young band.
The self-titled album also marks the debut of 2nd guitarist
Chris Norris and Keyboardist Noel Castillo. The added
instrumentation has given the band new musical ground to
explore and the effects have been quite noticeable. The songs
on "Chrysalis" are more lush, layered, and musically complex
than anything else previously released by the band.
The 11 song disc also displays a wide variety of musical
influences and techniques. Songs like "Outspoken" and "Aura"
display the bands' heavier side, while the tracks such as "Serein"
and "To Mend" delve more into the goth / symphonic genre.
Overall, Chrysalis has created a fairly original sound that's hard to
compare to anyone. If your a fan of rock, metal, progressive,
or goth, and you're looking for something a little different,
Chrysalis may just be what the doctor ordered.
