Well this is a new kind of music for me! It’s not like anything else I listen to which makes it a lot of fun out of the box. The music is really well done and it sounds like they have a stringed instrument somewhere in the mix, but I’m hard pressed to say which one. The guitar work is tight as hell with some interesting riffs. There are some keyboard elements that work to make the song just a touch more sinister than it already was. I had a hard time making out the vocals but the style in a bizarre 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon reminds me of old Halford. Not that this guy can wail like him or anything it’s more about the key he sings in. The drum line is pretty upbeat and verges on relentless most of the time. I’ve found that a lot of drum lines aren’t necessarily blazing fast but I would still classify them as relentless as they just never slow down. I loved the guitar work and the most excellent riffs the guitarist pulled off.
As I said this is a new style of music for me. It’s a nice hodgepodge of styles that I like with some cool vocal nummies for your ears. I would like to have it on my server so I could play around with it on some playlists. I have some old 80’s metal with some Priest, Maiden and Metallica that I would put this with to see how it flows. I think I want to investigate this band and others like them.
