I'd heard these guys before and
wasn't that impressed...but I must say this album kicks ass.
This is fast, melodic, metal...laden with those riffs and harmony
parts that can't help but remind you of Iron Maiden, and why they were
one of the biggest metal bands of the 80's. This album isn't sickeningly
heavy or pounding...sounds like it's in standard tuning...but it's
totally metal, REAL metal...there's the doublebass, and the oldschool
guitar parts...which sound like old Lightning-era Metallica here and
there. The vocals, which mostly consist of yelling in key, remind me
of Soilwork...nothing great, but it fits the music well. Again, you
hear alot of Iron Maiden in here guitar-wise...The arrangment and
overall sound is pretty killer, good stuff...definately go check it
out when it's released!
Fav tracks: "Pinball Map", "Only For The Weak" (very cool pre-chorus),
"..As the Future repeats today"
