Toxic Virgin is a German hard
rock band who come from the same town as the almighty Blind Guardian (that is
Krefeld). The bans was formed in 1995 and since then they have recorded one EP
and two full-length albums, including this one, and also reached the finals of
the German Rock Musicians Awards more than once. When I listened to the first
track of this new self-released album from the band I was very impressed. The
vocals are great and the neoclassical guitar influences shine through clearly.
However the next couple of tracks did not maintain my amazement at the same
high level. The heavier and faster tracks are all great, a lot thanks to the
strong vocals, and this is what Toxic Virgin should focus on, at least if they
want to impress on me. The slower and softer ones sound close to horrible
however but luckily there are more than these on the disc. No matter what
Toxic Virgin is a band worth looking into if you like playful hard rock. Not
just any band is given the chance to play together with main acts like Doro
Pesch and Bonfire. Despite the fact that there are a couple of great tracks on
this album ("Broken Wings", "Sailor" and "Waiting For The Rain") the
album is a little too uneven to score
high.
