The Hangman rules, going by what I have just checked out in this amazing, fast, energetic, power, raw, passionate, wild, crazy heavy metal rock album. Excellent vocals, nice solid lyrics, good drummer and guitarist on this drummer, well rounded tracks, fantastic, riffs via the guitar and the drummer, that kick ass! All tracks are great and entertaining and interesting. let alone very catchy. An album very well produced, composed and performed. A band well worth a check out and a download.
Ps I like the album cover, sweet and innocent, yet dark and mysterious in design and style.When you look closer at it. And like the colours used. Gave it more depth and appeal. Not your usual type covers for heavy metal bands.
buenas composiciones, me gusta
This is really good heavy metal! Great riffs, tasty solo's that give added value the songs, vocals that sometimes remind me of early Hetfield and brilliant production!
Du bon Metal dans le style des années 80 et 90, où j'entends des influences comme Halford, Metallica et Trivium ; le mélange est bon, le batterie remplit bien son rôle, les rythmiques sont entraînantes et la guitare solo est classique (comme je les aime) !
Je trouve juste la voix par moments un peu trop forcée et ressemblante à celle de Hetfield... mais elle me semble capable de choses bien plus variées, et c'est tant mieux.
J'ai un faible pour "My Name Is Death" et "Rose Red".
Content de voir qu'il y a encore des groupes de Metal qui ne tombent ni dans la caricature totale, ni dans les tentatives désespérées de musique révolutionnaire !
i mean sure its pretty good but i've heard better. it kinda reminds me of early avenged sevenfold from the guitar and drumming. the drumming isn't that impressive at all. i like the album cover though.
great!!
This is probably the best heavy metal album out there, it is simply brilliant !
Song are very well written, musician are talented and the production is massive and modern.
From the begining till the end of the album, this is pure gold.
If one would draw a comparison, the first band that came to my mind was Persuarders (which at the time reminded me somewhat of Blind Guardian). I guess it is due to the singing, which is pretty close in the style, but somehow with more variations. The guitars are also more modern, more in the vein of Machine Men, and leads are impressive.
In terms of global atmosphere, I would say it is definitely inspired by King Diamond, especially the later albums (I'm a huge fan of the puppet master - this is exactly the ambiance of this album). I think this album is a must have for fans of those KD's albums.
Again, great album. I hope the guys will have the opportunity to tour around Europe, as they deserve it.
This is as good as any commercial heavy metal around. One of the best quality albums I've found in Jamendo
