Omen (USA) - Escape To Nowhere (1988)

TRACKLIST:

 

Artist : Omen
Country : USA
Release : Escape To Nowhere
Year : 1988
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

Omen was one of the more successful Metal Blade artists of the eighties, employing a classic 80's metal sound vaguely along the lines of Priest/Maiden. Frankly I remember little about them, though I thought they were decent (if not outstanding) at the time. The Escape To Nowhere album marked a slight departure from their early style, and shortly after its release, the band broke up. It wasn't until 1997 that founder Kenny Powell resurrected the Omen name with a new lineup, and his own son Greg taking over on vocals. The resulting album, Reopening The Gates, reportedly had more in common with 90's metal than with their earlier albums, which left many core fans longing for the classic Omen style.

Omen (USA) - Eternal Black Dawn (2003)

TRACKLIST:



Artist : Omen
Country : USA
Release : Eternal Black Dawn
Year : 2003
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

''Eternal Black Dawn'' is a conscious and obvious attempt to recreate the sound of the Omen of old, and it isn't bad for all that. The efforts to make this sound vintage are impressive: New singer Kevin Goocher sounds a lot like JD - and the 'medley' track of bits of old songs shows he could sound even more like him if he wanted to – and even the production is similar to the old albums, right down to the lead tone. So if you didn't know the old stuff, you could be fooled into thinking this was it – it's that close. There are some cool songs on here, like the title cut, "1000 Year Reign" and "King of the Seven Seas", and the album as a whole is generally fun, with no tracks you want to skip. But there are no songs as good as "Teeth of the Hydra" or "Hell's Gates", and the album never really gets kicking. The performances are good, the songs are good, but there is just something a bit laid-back about the whole thing.

Omen (USA) - Warning Of Danger (1985)

TRACKLIST:




Artist :      Omen
Country :     USA
Release :    Warning Of Danger
Year :          1985
Genre :      Heavy Metal
File Type :   mp3 320


Info:

  This and the first CD (Battle Cry) are both just about perfect recordings. There isn't a bad song on either one. I just don't see how someone that likes Maiden or any other classic metal wouldn't own and love this CD. The guitarist has reformed Omen, but unfortunately they will never be able to sound this good again as the vocalist on the first three Omen CDs (JD Kimball) passed away on October, 3 2003. He was one of the best singers in metal ever.
