Reviews

"A solid surprise from the USA here." (5/6) - Frode Øien (Scream Magazine)

"The song writing on this album is commendable and of the highest calibre. If you are looking out for a melodic sound with plenty of surprises and a true rollercoaster experience, you’ve hit the jackpot with this one. Go for it!" (9.5/10) -  Ankit Sood (The Metal Resource)

"The music and the vocals work together in perfect harmony, whether its through gentler moments or full unashamed bombastic power. Lyrically, Anthea offer a truly poetic experience, elevating a listener’s wonder and imagination to optimum level." (5 STARS) - Amy Lawrence (MMHRadio)

"A long-term, melodic debut album, with excellent musical combinations, there are different tempos that can be heard as Thrash metal briefly, they have a strong combination that goes from Symphonic Metal to Power Metal and vice versa, at the beginning they start very Power Metal and end very Symphonic Metal, that gives variety to the album!" (90/100)  - Darkzen Dragon

"A sort of dramatic theatrical experience that of this "Illusion", which ranks among the best releases of the gothic-epic panorama of 2020." (8/10) - VITTORIO “Vike” GIORCELLI (Tutto Rock Magazine)

"Overall, a fast paced and very infectious album of heavy hitting symphonic power metal with stunning twists and turns." (9.5/10) - Iron Mathew Collins (Metal Gods TV)

"The whole piece is just incredible to listen to as you get lost in the composition and what it stands for" - Darren McIntyre (Jace Media)

"I believe that Anthea have managed to convince us of the value of their musical ideas with a strong debut and of course with the composite result they present to us in 'Illusion'." - Angelos Hontzias (Rockway.gr)

"Congratulations ANTHEA on achieving one of the better albums for 2020!" (9/10 ) - Kevin Lewis (Metal-Temple)

"Guitarist Juan Pina’s screams and Valadez’ clean vocals kept the dynamics interesting and brought out the extra push for something unique in comparison to what you would normally find in the majority of symphonic metal acts" - Jason Williams (Metal Assault)
