His band features ║ │ │║ notable German rock and metal musicians, ║ │ │║ including Rick Altzi from Masterplan on vocals. ║ │ │║ Kepic and Heaven's Trail drop their debut album ║ │ │║ Lethal Mind for UK's Escape Music label. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ This review will be brief, or at the very least, ║ │ │║ I will attempt to make it so, with the reason ║ │ │║ quickly forthcoming. Fundamentally, with ║ │ │║ guitarist Kepic in charge, Heaven's Trail plays ║ │ │║ guitar-centered melodic heavy metal rock. In his ║ │ │║ songwriting and arrangements, most every song ║ │ │║ has some familiar suspects: sharp riffs and a ║ │ │║ heavy bottom end for a metal edge, an abundance ║ │ │║ of rock rhythm and groove, and then all these ║ │ │║ things leading to Kepic ripping off some dandy ║ │ │║ guitar solos. Additionally, most all songs are ║ │ │║ wrapped in acceptable melodies and memorable ║ │ │║ refrains. And that's all good. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The wild card here for me was the vocals. As ║ │ │║ usual, I listened to the music before I read the ║ │ │║ press one-sheet. I do this simply because I ║ │ │║ don't want to do the first with preconceived ║ │ │║ expectations. But with my first spin of Lethal ║ │ │║ Mind, I had two reactions. First, I did not like ║ │ │║ the raspy sore throat vocals. Second, I thought ║ │ │║ I recognized the voice, but couldn't put my ║ │ │║ finger on the singer. On to the label's one- ║ │ │║ sheet and there was Rick Altzi. I'm just not a ║ │ │║ fan. While others may appreciate his style, even ║ │ │║ if the music may be terrific, I find myself ║ │ │║ suffering through his vocal presence. Needless ║ │ │║ to say, I found the songwriting and melodic ║ │ │║ heavy metal rock of Heaven's Trail impressive ║ │ │║ and enjoyable, but the vocals not so much. It's ║ │ │║ up to you to decide where your interest lies. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Craig Hartranft for ║ │ │║ www.dangerdog.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Rick Altzi - Vocals ║ │ │║ Barish Kepic - Guitars, Keyboards ║ │ │║ Michael Muller - Bass ║ │ │║ Kevin Kott - Drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Jioti Parcharidis - Guest Vocals (Tracks 5, 10) ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Lethal Mind [04:40] │ │ 02 - Too Late [04:38] │ │ 03 - Changes [05:04] │ │ 04 - Carousel [04:37] │ │ 05 - Feed My Soul [04:52] │ │ 06 - On The Rise [04:30] │ │ 07 - The Flame [05:00] │ │ 08 - Walking In The Shadows [05:29] │ │ 09 - Voodoo [04:15] │ │ 10 - King Of Pain [03:45] │ │ 11 - Simplified [04:26] │ │ 12 - Burn (Bonus Track) [04:18] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [55:34 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
