REVIEW: Powergod - Bleed For The Gods - Thats Metal Lesson 1! Massacre Records, 2001
7.5/10
Powergod - Bleed For The Gods - Thats Metal Lesson 1! - cover art The German heavy metal band Powergod has released two albums before they decided that they wanted to honour some of the best heavy metal bands in history with this third effort which contains nothing but cover songs. Yet another boring cover album might be your first thought. However they have done a great job with this album even though they haven't written any of the material themselves. Some of the best metal songs ever made can be found here and some of them are even better sounding than the originals - the songs from Savage Grace, Agent Steel, Yngwie Malmsteen and Anthrax are all superb masterpieces that beats almost every single band of today. Most of the other songs are also great but the thing they all have in common is that they are in the true heavy metal style. No slow hard rock ballads or monotonous power metal can be found here. If you like heavy metal done the old way and want to relive the golden days then this album offers you a very inexpensive journey through time. The album may very possibly deserve a higher rating but since it is only a cover album I don't want to rate it any higher.
