First off I have to get something off my chest....
I am so sick and tired of songs that involve breaking the chains or something...till the end. If you have the CD you know
what I am talking about, if not, these are titles or part of titles of songs on the new Dream Evil disc "Evilized" I guess
some clichés in metal I am sick of more than others. I guess I must also say that the song "Made of Metal" I absolutely adore...go
figure. On to the review.....
This is the second disc of Fredrik Nordstrom, Gus G. & company's band Dream Evil.
At first I felt it didn't hold much water to 'Dragonslayer', but upon further review I think it does. I felt that last few
songs on "Dragonslayer" were fun, but a little weak for this super-group. This offers up another melodic and riffy album or
true/power metal and is more consistent throughout the album.
I am slowly becoming more and more enamored to Gus G.
guitar work. I am kinda kicking myself for trading away the Firewind CD of his and will be replacing it soon to give it another
chance. I am also looking forward to his work on the upcoming Nightrage project he is involved with. "Evilized" is no exception...the
more I listen to it, the more I seem to pick up on little things with the riffs and solos.
Is it me or has there been
a string of good power/metal releases in late 2002/early 2003 with more upcoming? I hope there is more to come of this quality!!!!
Enjoy Dream Evil!
