Year : 1993
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

A quality power/prog metal act, Mystic Force has toiled in the Baltimore area for several years, with their most recent album (their fourth, not counting a demo re-release) in 2000. Man Vs Machine is quite an accomplished affair, correctly described by others as a heavier Queensryche. For whatever reason they haven't attracted the attention of major indie metal labels, and as such they don't seem well known.

Mystic Force - Shipwrecked With The Wicked (1990)

Artist : Mystic Force
Country : USA
Release : Shipwrecked With The Wicked
Year : 1990
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Picture and early Queensryche around the time of their first EP or even early Iron Maiden, that is exactly what you get with this EP. (also reminds me of Heathen's Rage, but few probably remember them.) Vocalist Bobby Hicks has a killer, high-pitched voice that fits so well with the music. Hearing this disc, I wonder why it was this band was never offered a contract with a bigger label. The music and vocals really are that good. Perhaps it was because by the time 1989 rolled around this type of galloping heavy metal was no longer the 'in' thing and you had to be either a thrash band or a pop metal band to get a contract. Regardless, "Shipwrecked" is a fine example of true metal by a band with a long history of not selling out to trends. The bonus track is nothing more than a practice demo and a joke.
