Most of it ║ │ │║ starts with the guitar-work, which is full of ║ │ │║ potential and really starts this one off nicely, ║ │ │║ being built around a sturdy framework comprising ║ │ │║ the muscular intensity of traditional metal with ║ │ │║ the fiery melodic rhythms of power metal. While ║ │ │║ never managing to move into the fluidity of the ║ │ │║ truer power metal acts, thereÆs still an ever- ║ │ │║ present amount of melodic tones here to really ║ │ │║ make this a complete power metal immersion by ║ │ │║ focusing as much as it does here on running the ║ │ │║ melodic lines alongside the sturdy rhythms for ║ │ │║ the lead-work on the track, making it highly ║ │ │║ effective at maintaining a listenable edge to ║ │ │║ the music within. The traditional metal aspect ║ │ │║ comes from the chugging nature of the majority ║ │ │║ of the tracks here which is the predominant ║ │ │║ factor for the riffing which tends to lower the ║ │ │║ potential tempos here down into mostly mid-tempo ║ │ │║ with a few dragging this out into dragging, ║ │ │║ plodding tempos barely able to move along. This ║ │ │║ potentially makes for quite an enjoyable effort ║ │ │║ with the fiery melodies alongside the toughened ║ │ │║ chug riff-work makes for a decidedly interesting ║ │ │║ to a more modern power metal approach here, and ║ │ │║ is certainly a solid framework to build on in ║ │ │║ the future. Coupled alongside here is a ║ │ │║ decidedly simple drum-approach to the music, in ║ │ │║ that the more urgent tracks feature double-bass ║ │ │║ blasts while the slower efforts only get hard- ║ │ │║ hitting plodding rhythms that manage to work ║ │ │║ quite nicely in here. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ While the bandsÆ approach here is quite nicely ║ │ │║ accomplished, there are a few problems in here. ║ │ │║ While itÆs certainly more and more common-place ║ │ │║ to find the hard-hitting chug patterns emerge as ║ │ │║ the dominant factor in power metal riffing, ║ │ │║ thatÆs really no excuse for the mainly plain, ║ │ │║ simplistic patterns throughout here. It rarely ║ │ │║ manages to get any kind of energy or enthusiasm ║ │ │║ for the majority of the tracks here, mainly ║ │ │║ sticking solely to the main chugging rhythms ║ │ │║ throughout the song and really only getting to ║ │ │║ change that up during the incredibly exuberant ║ │ │║ solo sections where the dynamic energy comes ║ │ │║ through quite abundantly here which is nice but ║ │ │║ sticks out against the simple dominant chug ║ │ │║ present elsewhere around it. That these are ║ │ │║ generally kept in simple, one-note arrangements ║ │ │║ without much variation whatsoever also manages ║ │ │║ to sap the energy of a lot of these tracks by ║ │ │║ tending to showcase the technical virtuosity ║ │ │║ only around the one part of the song and keeping ║ │ │║ the rest of it simple, bland and overly plodding ║ │ │║ doesnÆt tend to make for a large amount of ║ │ │║ enjoyable tracks throughout here. This is a ║ │ │║ pretty easy fix as well, and can be done by ║ │ │║ keeping the chug as the dominating factor by ║ │ │║ simply dragging some of the showiness featured ║ │ │║ in the soloing into the remaining rhythms by ║ │ │║ changing it up from time-to-time without really ║ │ │║ changing much which would also make the energy ║ │ │║ levels change around a little more as well to ║ │ │║ offset that even more. As well, one of the ║ │ │║ tracks here is a tad out-of-place in the running ║ │ │║ order by being too overtly goofy and corny that ║ │ │║ it feels more like a bad Edguy track that was ║ │ │║ too comical and jokey for them, which stands out ║ │ │║ among the more serious-minded tracks elsewhere ║ │ │║ on here. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The first half is somewhat enjoyable enough with ║ │ │║ a few decent tracks. Instrumental intro æThe ║ │ │║ CallÆ features wailing guitar work and ║ │ │║ accompanied drumming slowly work into groovy ║ │ │║ mid-tempo pace with epic rhythms alongside the ║ │ │║ wailing leads for a spectacular and majestic ║ │ │║ intro bleeding into the title track, as the ║ │ │║ urgent riffing and pounding drumming lead into ║ │ │║ tight melodic rhythms and full-throttle chugging ║ │ │║ guitar patterns that keep the material more in ║ │ │║ the mid-tempo throughout the main sections into ║ │ │║ the soaring, dexterous solo section as fiery ║ │ │║ leads blaze alongside the mid-tempo march into ║ │ │║ the final half for a rather enjoyable proper ║ │ │║ first offering. The blazing æObsessionÆ features ║ │ │║ tight, ferocious lead rhythms and fiery guitar ║ │ │║ work drop into the mid-tempo chugging patterns ║ │ │║ with plenty of tight drumming blasts carrying ║ │ │║ the same rhythms throughout the pounding, urgent ║ │ │║ riff-work with plenty of sparkling lead melodies ║ │ │║ and screaming guitar solos that continue into ║ │ │║ the finale for a much more dynamic, impressive ║ │ │║ offering. æSpirit Never DiesÆ uses simple, ║ │ │║ majestic marching riff-work with plodding ║ │ │║ drumming taking the simple rhythm along through ║ │ │║ the dragging pace and offset with the occasional ║ │ │║ double-bass burst alongside the dragging chug- ║ │ │║ riffing throughout the main sections into the ║ │ │║ fiery solo sections and back through the final ║ │ │║ half for a decent if unspectacular offering. Far ║ │ │║ more enjoyable is the raging æBurn OutÆ as ║ │ │║ urgent mid-tempo riff-work and thumping drumming ║ │ │║ lead into a simple series of charging chug- ║ │ │║ patterns that keep the dynamic lead rhythms ║ │ │║ blazing through the toughened riff-work leading ║ │ │║ into the stellar lead rhythms of the finale for ║ │ │║ an overall impressive effort. æMind AvulsionÆ ║ │ │║ utilizes simple lead melodies and charging mid- ║ │ │║ tempo riff-work alongside plodding, pounding ║ │ │║ drumming that continues the simplistic chugging ║ │ │║ rhythms along the mid-tempo pace throughout the ║ │ │║ atmospheric lead-work of the solo section that ║ │ │║ leads the mid-tempo chugging throughout the ║ │ │║ finale for another unremarkable track. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The second half is a lot lower overall against ║ │ │║ the upper half but does have a few decent ║ │ │║ moments. æThe Eye Will ControlÆ features ║ │ │║ plodding mid-tempo rhythms and pounding drumming ║ │ │║ blast through urgent mid-tempo chugging patterns ║ │ │║ flowing alongside blazing melodic leads with the ║ │ │║ urgent chugging carrying through the simple ║ │ │║ mid-tempo solo section which continues the ║ │ │║ urgent chugging rhythms through the final half ║ │ │║ for a more enjoyable effort. ThereÆs a lot more ║ │ │║ to like in æThe ExodusÆ with blazing, urgent ║ │ │║ riffing building to a steady mid-tempo chugging ║ │ │║ with the urgent lead rhythms alongside the ║ │ │║ pounding drumming that takes the main rhythms ║ │ │║ over into the fiery, pounding mid-section with ║ │ │║ blazing melodies leading along the extended solo ║ │ │║ section that carries the charging, majestic ║ │ │║ rhythms into the finale for a rather enjoyable ║ │ │║ epic. The comedic, almost misplaced æBalls of ║ │ │║ SteelÆ features tight, urgent chugging and ║ │ │║ pounding drumming move through frantic, up-tempo ║ │ │║ rhythms with blazing lead rhythms and steady ║ │ │║ riffing with more melodic work raging throughout ║ │ │║ the chugging patterns with plenty of hard- ║ │ │║ rocking rhythms alongside the tight raging ║ │ │║ finale for a seemingly enjoyable if somewhat ║ │ │║ goofy effort overall. The over-long æFuture Is ║ │ │║ on Your SideÆ starts with light, lilting ║ │ │║ acoustic guitar-work with soft patterns and ║ │ │║ romantic arrangements leading into the ║ │ │║ simplistic mid-tempo chug with the blazing ║ │ │║ melodic leads flowing along the plodding tempo ║ │ │║ working throughout the mid-section as the ║ │ │║ surging lead-work carries into the solo section ║ │ │║ on through the plodding final half for an ║ │ │║ overblown and pretty dull epic, obviously being ║ │ │║ the albumÆs weakest effort. Ending on a high ║ │ │║ after that offering, æFight for ChangesÆ uses ║ │ │║ blazing, fiery lead-work and blasting drumming ║ │ │║ run through urgent mid-tempo chugging patterns ║ │ │║ with plenty of dexterous lead rhythms and ║ │ │║ pounding drum-work flowing throughout the urgent ║ │ │║ pace as the blasting drumming carries the ║ │ │║ frantic energy through the fiery solo section on ║ │ │║ into the finale for a great final impression ║ │ │║ with one of the better efforts on here. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ For a debut effort thereÆs some pretty good work ║ │ │║ on display here but thereÆs still a lot that ║ │ │║ needs to be worked out for this group to really ║ │ │║ make much of an impact here. ItÆs certainly ║ │ │║ possible as many of the challenges within here ║ │ │║ can be fixed without too much difficulty ║ │ │║ alongside the positive elements at work, leaving ║ │ │║ this one for now to solely be appealing for ║ │ │║ Euro-power metal aficionados or those that donÆt ║ │ │║ mind a few problems among the good stuff on ║ │ │║ display. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - The Call [02:42] │ │ 02 - Children Of Hate [05:03] │ │ 03 - Onsession [06:19] │ │ 04 - Spirit Never Dies [05:03] │ │ 05 - Burn Out [03:02] │ │ 06 - Mind Avulsion [05:26] │ │ 07 - The Eye Will Control [04:39] │ │ 08 - The Exodus [06:42] │ │ 09 - Balls Of Steel [04:56] │ │ 10 - Future Is On Your Side [07:11] │ │ 11 - Fight For Changes [05:46] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [56:49 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
