The trouble IÆve always run into is a ║ │ │║ distinct misunderstanding of melody, outside of ║ │ │║ power metal, beyond the 90Æs. Jump on YouTube or ║ │ │║ wherever and spin literally anything from the ║ │ │║ 80Æs and no matter the budget or conceptual ║ │ │║ value the prerequisite was clear: You had to ║ │ │║ rock. So few millennium spawned groups ║ │ │║ understand the wild-but-formulaic rock music ║ │ │║ that lead to 80Æs heavy metal being a big deal. ║ │ │║ Even the most popular examples of retro-80Æs ║ │ │║ metal (Enforcer, Cauldron, White Wizzard, etc.) ║ │ │║ each carry their own unique troubles creating ║ │ │║ any distinct variation in melody. Spanish metal ║ │ │║ band Iron Hunter have not yet perfected their ║ │ │║ sound but their additional 80Æs power metal ║ │ │║ influences go a long way to carry the melodic ║ │ │║ arc of their debut full-length. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Hailing from what the Romans considered the edge ║ │ │║ of the Earth along the coast of Galicia in ║ │ │║ northwestern Spain, Iron Hunter show great ║ │ │║ appreciation for 80Æs metal gods Riot, Helloween ║ │ │║ and Madrid shredders Muro on their debut full- ║ │ │║ length æMankind ResistanceÆ. I wouldnÆt say the ║ │ │║ record is the second coming of æWalls of ║ │ │║ JerichoÆ, or even Muroæs æPacto de SangreÆ but ║ │ │║ you can feel that same fire in their guitar work ║ │ │║ and wailing vocals. Despite this set of well ║ │ │║ known influences paired with a decent sense of ║ │ │║ melody æMankind ResistanceÆ drops the ball just ║ │ │║ short of albums like Enforceræs æDiamondsÆ in ║ │ │║ terms of really embracing some fiery cheese for ║ │ │║ the sake of authenticity. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ What makes up for some lack of panache and vocal ║ │ │║ range is largely the guitar work that again ║ │ │║ pulls in a load of early power metal and some ║ │ │║ Maiden-isms towards that sweet spot where German ║ │ │║ power/speed metal hit best in the mid-80Æs. ║ │ │║ TheyÆre never quite as razor sharp as say early ║ │ │║ Holy Grail but any fan of power/speed metal ║ │ │║ should find something to like in most of ║ │ │║ æMankind ResistanceÆ. There are some dual guitar ║ │ │║ solos and some leads reminiscent of NWOBHMÆs ║ │ │║ more flamboyant guitarists but for the most part ║ │ │║ Iron Hunter are focused on just pure 80Æs ║ │ │║ heavy/speed metal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Taken as it is, a debut from a pretty new heavy ║ │ │║ metal band, æMankind ResistanceÆ is a ║ │ │║ comfortably average heavy metal full-length; A ║ │ │║ statement of identity rather than one of ║ │ │║ elevated art form or wild experimentation. With ║ │ │║ tempered expectations I found Iron Hunteræs ║ │ │║ debut to be a pretty solid listen. It might not ║ │ │║ be as savage as late 80Æs Riot or Liege Lord but ║ │ │║ as they avoid overdosing on speed the band ║ │ │║ develop some memorable early power metal ║ │ │║ moments. TheyÆre onto something good and with ║ │ │║ some more attention paid to the vocal patterns ║ │ │║ theyÆll soon be onto something great. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by terraasymmetry for ║ │ │║ www.grizzlybutts.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Emi Ramirez - Vocals ║ │ │║ Anxo Silva - Bass ║ │ │║ Alex Outeiro - Drums ║ │ │║ Paco Paz - Guitars ║ │ │║ Alex Sixstrings - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - In The Heat Of The Night [04:27] │ │ 02 - Street Warriors [03:51] │ │ 03 - I┤ll Die For You [03:24] │ │ 04 - The Deadbringer [03:42] │ │ 05 - Save The World [04:14] │ │ 06 - Starchaser [02:43] │ │ 07 - Blood, Fire & Steel [03:50] │ │ 08 - Beyond The Black Hole [04:35] │ │ 09 - Killing Machine [03:53] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [34:39 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
