Well, I don't know where to start here, power
metal is the name of the game and average is the score. After one the the most horrible intros (felt like Space Oddysey
2001), we have a double bass song about a werewolf. Good lord. The second song Hold On is much better.
A mid-paced tune where the singer is more in control of his fragile voice. A nice catchy chorus with a slight 'gang'
mentality that hides the lead singers weaknesses. The rest of the songs range from average to bad. About 3 songs
are redeemable and worthy of listening, but not really worthy of purchasing. There is some potential.
Lyrically, they could use some help. They seem so trite and have
some cheddar to them and really make you want to cringe. (Guiding Star, Sea of Love, I Will Survive). I am hoping this
is from some kind of language barrier so this can improve on future discs.
Bandwise, the singer is just plain weak. He seem a little out of
control and tries to sing out of his range about half the time. On the flip side, if he sang in his range, it would
be extremely limited (but would prefer it). Maybe with time and some training it would be better to these ears.
Guitars, bass and drums are suitable and not bad at all...nothing to blow peoples doors off or anything, but competent
for the style (of course, I am no expert, just a guy with a website:). If they release another disc, I'll give it a
shot but it certainly will not be a blind purchase.
