Artist : Crystal Ball Country : Switzerland Release : Hellvetia [Limited Edition] Year : 2003 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Hellvetia is fine dose of melodic hard rock sure to please fans of the
band and hard rock fans in general. If you bands such as Shakra, PC69,
Gotthard, and Axxis, you can't miss Crystal Ball. As expected, this
album is chocked full of infectious melodies and thick harmony vocals.
Mark Sweeney's unmistakable, unique voice sounds great as usual, adding
that special, personalized touch to the music of Crystal Ball. He is
very aware of his vocal abilities, as he doesn't make the mistake of
belting out high notes that are simply out of his range. The guitar work
has made strides since the band's last offering. You'll notice that the
riffs are more forceful and the solos are more flamboyant and standout
much more compared to the last opus. Furthermore, this album is about as
consistent as the sun rising each morning. From the first track all the
way to the tenth, the guys deliver catchy, guitar driven hard rock
tunes. Each song flows very naturally into the next, meaning that the
album seems to come to a close very quickly!
