Info:

2005's Womanizer is the second album from Norwegian traditional metal band Absolute Steel. Similar to their countrymen Thunderbolt, Absolute Steel plays traditional heavy metal that's influenced by bands like Judas Priest, Accept and Motorhead. Their lyrics seem more influenced by the sleazier L.A. hair metal bands though.

Info:

I thought the days of "fun" heavy metal were long gone. All that we had left were depressing, no talent, angry "nu metal" bands...
Thank God Absolute Steel proved me wrong! This CD is great! Awesome guitar riffs, good lead singer, incredible solos... it's like being back in the 80s!
If you love 80s metal, having fun and rocking out... give Absolute Steel a try. You won't be disappointed.

Artist : Ajalon
Country : USA
Release : This Good Place
Year : 2009
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

"Promised Land," the first vocal track, is instantly catchy, owing to the sing-along-able chorus. It reveals that not only do they have that "mid-west" sound, but also that they aren't afraid of including a pop element to their prog. "Sword Of Goliath" is more energetic, rockier tune. However, it's not the strongest of the album's tracks, as it reveals some of the weaknesses in Henderson's voice. Instrumentally, it sounds a bit like something from Rush, yet I can't pin down a specific track ... it's a bit poppier than Rush, and parpy keyboards give it yet another character, but you can hear a bit of Rush in the bass lines (also Henderson). Another nice track of this ilk is "The Highway." It's got a darker tone that the album's other tracks, throatier guitar tones, bass, and an arrangement that ends on the down-beat rather than the up-beat. Even still, a chorus you'll remember. The exception to all this mid-westernness is the funkier track "What Kind Of Love," which includes guest Rick Wakeman on a moog and organ solo, the latter of which is quite jazzy.

11. Fade Away (Bonus Track)
12. Under The Ice (Bonus Track)


Artist : Nocturnal Rites
Country : Sweden
Release : Grand Illusion [Japan Edition]
Year : 2005
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

They sort of stray from the Heavy guitar sound that carried them in earlier efforts and go for a Dream Theatre keyboard/sound with heavy guitar. I personally think the keyboard addition gives the sound a little more melody and adds some spice. As for the previous reviewers comments on no melody within the choruses or songs, I didn't find it to be true. This is a solid CD with some minor changes that any power/melodic METAL fan will love!! I found it to be a back to the basics CD. everything is simple and to the point! Sometimes you just need a catchy riff some solid drums and a good tune. This CD delivers that. Nothing elaborate, just straight ahead METAL!!!!!

11. Another Storm (Bonus Track)
12. Save Us (Bonus Track)


Artist : Nocturnal Rites
Country : Sweden
Release : New World Messiah [Japan Edition]
Year : 2004
Genre : Hard Rock Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This effort is pretty much flawless, the production is crushing, guitar work is stellar (as always with N.R.) vocals are even better (and more varied) than their last two CDs, and the bass/drums lay a perfect foundation, locking in with each other and hitting insanely hard... (this CD is LOUD!)

11. The Iron Force (2002 Version) (Bonus Track)


Artist : Nocturnal Rites
Country : Sweden
Release : Shadowland [Japan Edition]
Year : 2002
Genre : Hard Rock Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

SHADOWLAND has a raspy, compressed, raw sounding production and mastering that really gives it an epic and heavy feel. Effects are present, but they are used subtly and with great effect. The guitar sound is extremely heavy, with a clear and warm lead tone. The powerful vocals by Johnny Lindqvist are so spot on and fit the band and their music so well from melodic phrasing to the rhythm of delivery, it's an incredible thing to behold on every listen.






Artist : Nocturnal Rites
Country : Sweden
Release : The 8th Sin [Japan Edition]
Year : 2007
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

The 8th Sin, which goes in a more melodic, less epic direction. It's still undeniably a metal album (and not pop metal as some have said), but the songs on The 8th Sin are catchier, melodic in an almost commercial way (as commercial as metal gets, anyway), and have a great `80s energy. I absolutely love this style of metal, so of course I ended up loving this album. The melodies are killer, the songs make you want to sing along, and Jonny Lindqvist does an amazing job on vocals.

Artist : Soundscape
Country : USA
Release : Discovery
Year : 1997
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

The album itself is a concept piece based around the idea of a young boy's life as he ages, matures and becomes an adult. On the whole, this work is a very strong piece musically, with a firm balance between all of its components. Liquid riffs dominate this album with its powerful guitar and keyboard work. The bass line adds to the solidity of this work with its own calm blend into the music and impressive solo lines. This progressive metal band captures the power and intensity that one would be accustomed to in Dream Theater's earlier works (i.e. Images and Words). However, this band's style, technique and sound creates an entirely different entity.
