Sometimes
things should be left in the past...This is one of them times. Maybe Stefan's
ego was hungry?
"Firecracker"
is the early works of Stefan Lindholm (Vindictiv) and you can really heard
that Malmsteen was his hero. Basically this is just a softer and less epic
version of what Stefan done on "Vindictiv"; classic Melodic Hard Rock,
but no where near as good, especially in the vocal department. Tommy Kerevik is no Goran Edman.
The biggest problem with "Born
of Fire" apart from the vocals, is it clocks in around 50 minutes for 8
songs. Too long and not enuogh going on to keep your interest.
One for die hard Vindictiv fans
maybe???
PS.. Let's see if I get an abusive email
for this review?
