It is very nice to hear that there are still musicians who
are trying to bring back the classic hardrock tunes from the 80s and does it
very well like David Neil Cline from Detroit, USA. Unfortunately it is hard to
fight your way to the top unless you have a big label behind you and this kind
of music is not really what most labels are looking for today. This is a real
shame because there are obviously some great musicians out there. David Neil
Cline has been playing music all his life and since the age of 15 he has been
performing at clubs in the Detroit area. This was in fact the first album he
ever made (almost completely by himself as well!) and it was released on vinyl
in 1989. Now it has been remixed and released on cd. The sound quality is
still rather ok but it was to be improved by the time he released his second
album. Brilliant guitarwork, heavy striking riffs and passionate vocals makes
this a hardrock album worth worth to be remembered. His influences can be
found a little bit everywhere around the metal world but mostly from the
giants of the late 70s and early 80s and the vocals on one of the songs
("Enforcer") actually sounds very much like a Megadeth song which name I
can´t remember right now (it is on their "Cryptic Writings" album though I
think...). This first effort from Cline shows a little bit of immature
song-writing and chaotic solos that ruins the flow a little bit in my opinion.
It is stunning how much better the second album is - the songs are more
well-composed, the structure is more complete, the production is better and
the vocal melodies are stronger. "A Fit Of Rage" is not bad though and if
you´re into Yngwie Malmsteen then here is a heavier and more passionate
version.
