Operatika is a 5-piece female fronted band from New York who has
released a 4-track disc titled "Dreamworld". Vocalist
Slava Popova bears a striking vocal resemblance to former
Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen. While
this comparison can be made, musically, Operatika takes a
heavier, more straight-ahead approach to their music. Lead
track "Dreamworld" not only features Slava's gorgeous lush
vocals, but some serious guitars riffs and solos from Bill
Visser.
"Gladiator" is a Helloween-paced melodic speed metal romp that
bears a much stronger comparison to similar Italian and German
symphonic power metal bands than to gothic influenced groups.
Closing track, "The Calling" is another full out blazing track
with an unexpected break towards the end before the final
closing fury.
From visiting other sites, I have noticed that Operatika have
been the openers for some of the better quality metal shows in
the New York City area. In my opinion, it won't be long
before a metal-based label picks up Operatika at hopefully
starts to further the nurturing process.
