Yngve M. Jacobsen, the drummer of the
Norwegian thrash metal band Tonka, is the man behind the band Powercage and
together with Einar Skeie on vocals and Vegard Lima on guitars he has set out
to make his own music come alive. While Tonka is influenced by the thrash
metal of the 80's Powercage is more hard rock oriented with influences from
classic legends like Deep Purple, Rainbow and Thin Lizzy. These influences are
very evident when listening to this self-financed EP, especially the first
track. The second and third tracks actually soundslike a mix of classic hard
rock and modern power metal with very nice choruses. What brings this album
down is the production since it was actually recorded on a farm somewhere in
Norway. Because of this the vocals go off on a few places and the overall
sound is a little too thin to be satisfied with. With the proper support and
production I think Powercage could create everything they ever wanted and any
label leaving these guys unsigned is making a
mistake.
