After the signing of a contract with Scarlet Records and the release of a
new album in June last year the Italians GAME OVER indicate that
their new label is interested in re-releasing of „For Humanity“.
Perhaps
„For Humanity“ had not received
the attention that the quartet wanted, but there are reasons for this.
The dynamic songs are full of good and fast riffs, with rather melodic
melody
lines. The vocals of Reno do not succeed
to follow and develop the songs. The decision for the back-vocals is
unvaried, and this takes the specific features of the definite tracks. It
is clear that the main inspirations of the four musicians are in The Big 4. The aspiration was to lift up the
fast-motion, and the necessary quantity groove to be included. As a result
the short songs do not become boring, but they miss this pinch of
inspiration that could make them exceptional.
The
three bonus tracks added to the album are live performances. The cover song
of MOTORHEAD's „Iron Fist“ is in a rather
speedy variant of the song, and the two remaining songs are from the same album
by
the Italians. However my attempt to find more information about such a
planned release was unsuccessful.
„For
Humanity“ remains a release for the strong
admirers of speed/thrash metal. The album does not shine with something
exceptional, but it gives lots of pleasant moments, but
the bonus tracks
sound like
a bootleg.
