The only X-Factor in this band in the X in the band name! Everything else is
just a journey down the same road of mediocrity so many, many other bands have
travelled before.
Sure they have the skills to
create powerful metal with roots in the progressive end of the spectre of German
Power Metal, and this is very sound technically, but like so many other bands
their music end up being just that; sound, but they do not in any way stand out.
Powerful and heavy, some fine
guitar leads, well crafted songs and a decent production - well that can be said
about almost every Power Metal release these days, and that alone is simply not
enough to make it these days in the cut-throat competition. And
Sanction X
lands in the ever-growing pile of mediocre upcoming bands that need to work on
the song writing to take the next step forward...
