Let me try to explain you the process I went through when trying to review this album. During the instrumental beginning of the first song I am still high-spirited about this band but then there’s the let-down: the vocals. So I skip to the next song. The procedure is exactly the same. I’m enjoying the instrumental parts but as soon as the vocals start I skip again. So I put the CD aside for a while. It took me until the third try till I finally managed to listen to the whole album. Well, that time I was actually surprised. The album isn’t as bad as I thought in the beginning but then again it can’t really convince me either. Enertia’s heavy metal doesn’t offer anything new to the genre. Don’t get me wrong, this is solid material but for a genre like this it simply isn’t enough. The album sounds like any other average heavy metal album with a few nice guitar solos here and some good riffs there but no real highlights at all. In fact, the vocals, which I can ignore in some songs, ruin a lot because they have no variation and take the whole energy away in a lot of songs, let alone the breathy and very hard-to-get-used-to tone of singer Scott Featherstone’s voice. Nice try, but a fresher attitude wouldn’t hurt next time.
