Here though that idea falls ║ │ │║ flat, the latest release by HERMAN FRANK is ║ │ │║ simply not long enough. The fourteen-track ║ │ │║ ôFight The Fearö is the perfect example of how ║ │ │║ to hit the listener in the face with tracks ║ │ │║ which are so intense that the listener ║ │ │║ practically begs for more. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ I was a fan of ACCEPT back in the day, so I had ║ │ │║ huge expectations here, however this like an ║ │ │║ extension of the elements that made ACCEPT so ║ │ │║ brilliant, fans of the same ilk will bathe in ║ │ │║ the raging beast that ôFight The Fearö is. The ║ │ │║ guitarist Herman Frank is on top-form, from the ║ │ │║ first ignition of ôUntil The Endö the listener ║ │ │║ is brought on a journey of intense metal, old- ║ │ │║ school and melodic combined and the extra ║ │ │║ advantage of vocalist Rick Altzi of MASTERPLAN, ║ │ │║ the weapon of power in the band HERMAN FRANK, ║ │ │║ his vocals compliment perfectly the guitar ║ │ │║ playing, indeed the lyrics are the baby of ║ │ │║ Altzi, he is took that job earnestly and ║ │ │║ delivered skillfully. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôFearö keeps the pace solid while its intense ║ │ │║ second-half ôTerrorö has a walking, strutting ║ │ │║ guitar-crank, similar to nineties PANTERA but ║ │ │║ ultimately in the hands of Frank it is wholly ║ │ │║ unique, with vibrations of Doom-Metal. Though ║ │ │║ the riff that opens ôSinnersö (included below) ║ │ │║ is a twenty-first update of how the genre is ║ │ │║ pushing forward with technology. This is an ║ │ │║ album of mind-blowing technique, with a ║ │ │║ wholesome depth and emotion that can at times ║ │ │║ become lost under the weight of trying to re- ║ │ │║ invent the wheel, it is not a necessity to be ║ │ │║ something new just play it as it is meant to be, ║ │ │║ that is where HERMAN FRANK stand tall. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The numbers break free one by one, with the same ║ │ │║ raw-rage as the next, ôHatredö and ôHail & ║ │ │║ Rowö-a song reminiscent of SABBATHÆs ôWar Pigsö ║ │ │║ in itÆs delivery though, wholly enjoyable. ║ │ │║ ôDonÆt Cross The Lineö is immense, ôAre You ║ │ │║ Readyö takes off with the same speed, this band ║ │ │║ never come up for air under their complete ║ │ │║ submergence in powerhouse metal. ôWaiting For ║ │ │║ The Nightö has the structure of Osbourne/Rhoads ║ │ │║ ôI DonÆt Knowö from the ôBlizzard Of Ozzö days, ║ │ │║ which is an important note as ôFight The Fearö ║ │ │║ is anchored in that very time. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The air-guitars are dusted off well and truly by ║ │ │║ the time the finals track explodes with grace, ║ │ │║ ôLost In Heavenö. Some clean-picked electric- ║ │ │║ guitar leads into the albums only reflective ║ │ │║ moment. Not a ballad as such but simply a slower ║ │ │║ pace to, the listener will however be compelled ║ │ │║ to hit play again to let this album breathe, ║ │ │║ HERMAN FRANK both the band and guitarist have ║ │ │║ struck a moment of greatness here, hopefully ║ │ │║ they continue with more releases such as this. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Kevin Burke for www.metal- ║ │ │║ temple.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Rick Altzi - Vocals ║ │ │║ Herman Frank - Guitars ║ │ │║ Michael Mⁿller - Bass ║ │ │║ AndrΘ Hilgers - Drums ║ │ │║ Heiko Schr÷der - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Until The End [04:41] │ │ 02 - Fear [04:49] │ │ 03 - Terror [05:09] │ │ 04 - Sinners [05:36] │ │ 05 - Hatred [05:29] │ │ 06 - Hail & Row [05:53] │ │ 07 - Hitman [04:14] │ │ 08 - Stay Down [03:50] │ │ 09 - Rock You [04:28] │ │ 10 - Don┤t Cross The Line [04:06] │ │ 11 - Are You Ready [04:32] │ │ 12 - Wings Of Destiny [06:25] │ │ 13 - Waiting For The Night (Bonus Track) [04:25] │ │ 14 - Lost In Heaven [05:23] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [69:00 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
