If I had
count all metal rock
bands from Israel I knew before this little piece landed in my box, the list had
been extremely short. But this is a bunch
of guy's from the Holy land who plays a good mixture of a melodic hard rock,
AOR and progressive rock. It's a well produced album done in the
Jailhouse Studio in Horsens, Denmark with Mr Tommy Hansen behind the mixing table
and he has made
a very solid work of art.
Vocalist Leve Laitner really
has a unique
voice that makes this band stand out from most of the others in this genre and the
voice parable is a younger
version of Klaus Maine of Scorpions fame. The gentle and smooth guitars and soft singing introduced in the track "Turn Back
Time" is turning into a progressive and aggresive style and with nice solo from
the guitarist Elnur Aliev and it's in an own style that I like. "Name on the
Stone" is a heavy metal track with clear and high keyboard and with nice tempo
changes with sound close to Hammerfall in the choruses and strong riffs from the
guitars. In the quiet and nice track "The Last Drop" they have many pompous
parts and Leve's plenty of space to carry out his notes. Best track on the
album is the title track which has all parts of metal that I appreciate. "Tought
to
Love" is a fun track that does have an easy refrain that gets stuck in the head,
but still has a guitar solo as a spice.
If you like a
metal mixture of Dream Theater and Helloween
or are intrested in new rock bands with therir own style this is a intresting
album I recommend.
