Dawn of a dream, the album title translated to English is a good description of the sound provided by Injuria; every riff has a reminiscent sentiment of past glories and classic bands, with a solid vocal work and interesting tempos this band sticks to a very hard to follow formula and manages to come out with an impeccable performance.

“Amanecer de Un Sueño” is what we may call “traditional Spanish heavy metal” great guitars solos, mellow rhythms and a powerful vocal work similar to bands such as “Angeles del Infierno” and “Avalanch”, every song is played to perfection, the production is great too, the only problem with this record is that it has no personality, it tries a couple of times to add some progressive sounds inside their heavy metal, but these moments are small and spread too separately all over the album, like in “Paideia” a nice song with interesting breaks, tempo changes, and a solid solo section, the thing is that a song like this has been heard a million times in every single album since the start of the Spanish heavy metal movement.

Another formula to follow in a “traditional power metal album” is to place a “romantic ballad” close to the middle of the album, and Injuria did just that, with the very corny “Angel”, as I was saying these guys are impeccable playing their instrument and Lucas Gerardo has a great voice that can deliver the high pitch screams excellently, is just that every song reminds you of another bigger, better band, so “Amanecer de Un Sueño” ends up been just a fun replica, a band that plays by the book and apparently writes their songs using that same book, there is absolutely nothing innovative, fresh or attractive about this album, the only great thing about this record is the performance of every musician on it.

It comes to show that you need more than just good playing in order to write a good album.
