Portrait
Crossroads
Rating
 
Style: Heavy Metal
Release date: 25 April, 2014
Playing time: 42:46
 


High falsetto vocals in King Diamond style, music reminding of the first two Mercyful Fate albums, twin guitars and bass lines rather in front of the mix. That is what Portrait serves us on this album. In fact not a lot different from their last album.

The songs are nice to listen to, but without one that really sticks or can make a difference.  I do not have a lot more to tell about this release. This is 90% Mercyful Fate, 5% early Iron Maiden and 5% Manilla Road. If that sounds like music to your ears, there isn't anything keeping you from buying this album.
