Powers Court

POWERS COURT

Powers Court is an American Metal trio hailing from St. Louis, MO, USA. After one Self-Titled/Self-Financed album released in 1996, the band was immediately signed to Audioglobe-SRL, Dragonheart Records of Florence, Italy. Their 2nd CD, Nine Kinds of Hell was released on this label in 2001 along with THE RED MIST OF ENDENMORE in 2008

Their style incorporates American Power Metal ala Iced Earth, Nevermore and Manilla Road, but the songwriting is more unique and varied. They incorporate styles of Power, Progressive, Thrash, Epic and traditional Metal. Vocalist/guitarist Danie Powers is the unique feature here -- she possesses a vocal range of over four octaves and she uses that range quite effectively. Everything from lower-pitched growls to high-pitched screams to soprano, a powerful midrange reminiscent of Mark Shelton, Bruce Dickinson, Dio and Rob Halford.

As for the music it has some roots in 80's Metal, but it is quite different and unique incorporating other elements into their compositions such as Classical, Goth, Classic Rock and various instruments such as Flamenco guitar, and Elizabethan and Medieval lute. There's a bit of MANILLA ROAD, a shade of KING DIAMOND, maybe a slice of IRON MAIDEN, all melded together as only Powers Court can do. This is really a fine band, highly recommended.
