BRAINSTORM: WALL OF SKULLS
BRAINSTORM: WALL OF SKULLS
Brainstorm have been forging stunning Power Metal for decades now with no sign of rusting or wavering whatsoever. Their magnificent new album Wall Of Skulls is a masterpiece loaded with some of the catchiest and more memorable material that Brainstorm have ever unleashed.
The haunting chants and atmospherics that comprise intro "Chamber Thirteen" send a shiver down the spine, before "Where Ravens Fly" caries you away in glorious Power Metal fashion; fast, melodic and with soaring vocals.
Without a doubt "Solitude" is one of the most infectiously catchy and mesmerising songs on the album, with excellent vocals from the sonically beautiful frontman Andy B Franck and an abundance of wonderful riffs for good measure.
The double blow of "Escape The Silence" and "Turn Off The Light" which feature guest vocals from Rage's Peavy Wagner and Seeb Levermann of Orden Ogan respectively is nothing short of Heavy Metal euphoria; crunchy riffs, charging drums, a smattering of keys and synths and incredible vocal work is the standard here.
Melancholic and slower paced "Glory Disappears" is a solid and punchy song, whereas "My Dystopia" is a rapid fire metallic punch in the brain, gripped with wonderfully crunchy riffs and epic guitar solo and leads.
Groovy and heavy in a brooding fashion "End Of My Innocence" features some of Andy's best singing of the album, along with driving drumming and awesome guitar work. Metallic and sharp, "Stigmatized (Shadows Fall)" is a heavy number, delivering more delightfully crunchy riffs and drum barrages with decent hooks and a neat chorus thrown into the mix. Soaring vocals and monumental melodies makes "Holding On" an instantly memorable melancholic tune before "I, The Deceiver" slams proceedings to a close with thundering bass drums, superb riffing and massive vocals.
Overall, Wall Of Skulls is a fine album and represents a very talented collection of musicians on top form. Full of great highly enjoyable material, Wall Of Skulls is a streamlined and scorching slab of shining fresh Metal mastery.
