Well done, guys! This Finnish band used
to play a mix of unmemorable
hard
rock and metal in the spirit of 80's and
90's. However they have moved
away
from that style. They have also
improved the vocal delivery, (the
singer is
mincing some lyrics though in
the faster parts), the musicianship and
even
more importantly their song
writing abilities. The first song
"Holocaust" is
reminding me of the
great Thrash Metal masters Testament in their
2nd -mainly- and 3rd albums.
Same style, same great guitar part, same
powerfull chorouses. "Guilty of
Greed" is also quite Thrash Metal like
and
has some very nice multivocal
lines in the chorouses, which are close
to the
spirit of old Candlemass;
very "heavy Metal" and very nice indeed.
There is
also some truly great
guitar soloing in this song. The last song is the
ballad "Sad Life
Philosophy". It's obvious that the lyrics are written
with
all the best
intensions (by the singer, for a friend that committed
suicide)
but even
though they are cool to a degree they could have been a bit
better.
(There
are some grammatical mistakes and also parts that could have
been
done in a
better way).
It's safe to say that these guys are learning fast. In a few
months
they
went from being painfully average to been good enough to get
signed. I
can
only congratulate them for managing
that!
