Saidian Germany´s Melodic Metal band from 2005, is ready to take off. Formed in 2004 from Keyboardplayer Markus Bohr (who already tried unsuccessfully
before with different Musicians) but first get a rolling stone through the members Markus Engelfried (vocals), Manuel Glassmann (bass), Rodrigo Blattert (guitar), drummer Stefan Dittrich and the renaming in Saidian. Shortly after the recordings of the debut album „For Those Who Walk The Path Forlorn“ with producer Vagelis Maranis (Ex- singer of Sanvoisen), the band inked a world-wide multi-album deal with German based label Metal Heaven (Altaria, Bloodbound, Pump). On the promotion tour as support of Jon Olivias Pain developed a new friendship between both bands and Jon Olivia decided to sing a short verse on the track „Crown Of Creation“. Before they entered the studio, the band had to part ways with drummer Stefan Ditrich, but with Ex-Primal Fear drummer Klaus Sperling (Sinner, My Darkest Hate) they found more than a fantastic replacement. „Phoenix“ shows Saidian from their harder side than on the first album by in-usual melodies, filigrane guitar work and a captivate rhythm section, which lend the correct dose Metal to the album. With the first run a comparison to the band Edguy develops for me however equal. Not only in the singing way, but also of the kind and play way of the Songs, parallel to Edguy or also Stratovarius are evident. Anyway the great singing of Markus „Engel“ Engelfried thrones all over the songs. What makes the songs like „Ride On A Phoenix“, „State Of Euphoria“ and „Fallen Hero“ to true ear worms. The Album partly offers fast rhythms by key-board-bound airs „Praise the Lord“, „Never Surrender“, „Power and Glory“ or „The Jester“ but also very varied soil compactors „Crown of Creation“ or „Reign Of Agony“ and songs in the ¾ clock „Ride Like the Wind“ or „Nine Lives“. Even calmer songs „See the Light“ get served. Saidian make a marvelous album and in the end not really something new what get released in the swarm of powermetal today. For Fans of Edguy and Stratovarius always to have. Even when the album shines with a great production, several talented musicians and a fat portion of powerful sound, you must consider the reactions of the spending power and first wait for the Assessment of the album.
