Info:
All of the time-honored genre staples are here, from the solid riffing to the gruff-but-tuneful vocals (highly reminiscent of Udo, Sanke Lau of Unrest, and Frank Knight of X-Wild) to the simple shouted choruses to the Wolf Hoffman/Matthias Dieth-inspired leadwork. A couple of tracks, including the storming opener "Gods of revenge" and the relentless "I will survive", rank among Vanize's finest output ever, and are worth the price of admission. Unfortunately, things bog down on some of the other tracks, where the stock, recycled riffs and overly redundant choruses veer perilously close to boredom, particularly in the 2nd half of the CD.
