The Swedish metal band Wyvern released their
debut album "The Wildfire" in January 1999 but they weren't really
satisfied with the result. Now they are back with nine brand new tracks and a
better production due to the use of the facilities at Studio Fredman. They
have also acquired two new members - drummer Peter Nagy (Eternal Oath, Mörk
Gryning, Hypocrite) and vocalist Toni Kocmut (Sins Of Omission). The musical
landscape through which this album leads us is a mixture of old-time classic
heavy metal and the new equally loved/hated power metal sound. I don't have
anything against power metal because there are some bands who do it really
great but very often these bands rely heavily on peering vocals which often
sound good at a first glance but in the end only annoying. This is partly the
case with Wyvern but I still have to credit them for making some very nice
songs like their tribute to metal called "The Liquid And The Metal" and the
dynamic "Morningstar". Wyvern is a little harsher than most power metal
bands and I guess this relates to the fact that a few of the members have
connections to death and black metal bands. This makes their new album more
interesting and worth checking out.
