Uncompromising TruePower Speed ​​Metal for fans

A klischeehaftere production from the metal genre is rarely come across to me lately. This starts with the artwork and the lyrics and runs seamlessly through the musical content. The band gives way to a millimeter from the path of virtue from, any progressive or 'Neo' elements are far and wide not to spot. It is also nothing to complain about, it is indeed explicitly advertised that there are dealing with TruePower speed metal and so the listener knows exactly what he has least expected. However, one order is on thin ice because the good riffs and hooks are just now times have already been grazed by a dozen world-class bands, since it is difficult within the narrow genre boundaries to send something original and innovative in the race. And so it is no surprise that one but occurs very famous among 'Odin' much. Especially Maiden and the German colleagues of Brainstorm / Symphorce-corner crowd occasionally in the thought processes of the listener, often striking the Finns Burning Point.

If this is now so a throwaway album for quick consumption? Far from it: First, it has managed Wizard with 'The propecy' to write an absolutely outstanding over-song that has the makings of a classic with 'Dark god' and 'Loki's punishment' are two other high-flyer at the start. Then there is the knotless production: powerful, bulky and still very clearly the storm rolls out of the speakers zoom, this one has but it does not fail to miss the whole adequate, slightly trashy touch. Next there's the singer who moves on the highest level and on a very wide range of expression has - the comparison with the class of Andy B. Franck is here quite permissible. And some songs but provide one or the other surprise, by tempo changes here, since unexpected inserts. The grandiose guitar solos put the whole then the crown, with an emotionally gripping, cutting-intensive sound, the barrels eat with maximum speed directly into the bowels of the listener. All in all, a remarkable album that will truly enrich any collection of Metal freaks. Those who still have the opportunity to become the Ltd. should Edition secure. These waits beside two bonus tracks and a video (Betrayer) still with a comprehensive booklet and a poster.
