Battle Beast: Battle Beast

BATTLE BEAST: BATTLE BEAST
   If this album was anymore powerful, you would need a licence to own it. What a Beast this album is, its claws dig deep into your skin within the first few seconds of opening track, "Let It Roar". Every track is amazing and unique, even the instrumental sections are breathtakingly impressive.
   The unhallowed unity of metallic riffing and atmospheric keyboards, creates a jaw-dropping spectacle. It seems that Battle Beast have taken elements of Judas Priest and Helloween, added a sprinkle of their own creative magnificence, and created an album to contest for supremacy as the best Heavy Metal album of the century.
   Battle Beast do nothing by half measures. The guitar solos are show stealing displays of masterful musicianship. The vocals can range from slashing screams and wild wails, to throat scratching snarls and haunting howls.
   Tracks like "Out Of Control" and "Fight, Kill, Die", wield the muscular vocals and finger splitting solos that would turn a mosh pit into frenzy of hair and fists, while tracks like "Kingdom" focus less on speed and more on power. The albums highlight however, has to be the awe inspiring "Neuromancer". It contains all of the styles and sounds that make power and Heavy Metal the institutions of brilliance that they are.
   If you're a fan of Sabaton or Helloween, then you will love Battle Beast, but really there is no reason why anyone would dislike this album. In fact, its fair to say that Battle Beast, are destined for huge success, And albums of this quality will certainly strengthen their legacy.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...
