That already ║ │ │║ shows that they had been around way before ║ │ │║ HAMMERFALL and co. and even if that had not been ║ │ │║ the case, they sound a good bit different. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ What the quartet is offering us here is no True ║ │ │║ Metal, has no happy melodies, no big choirs, but ║ │ │║ is earthier, without bombast, maybe with a ║ │ │║ slight IRON MAIDEN-touch. Singer Brian Rich has ║ │ │║ a pretty original high voice, with a light ║ │ │║ Dickinson-list here and there and gives JACKAL ║ │ │║ some originality, too. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Musically they covered almost the whole spectrum ║ │ │║ from balladesque to fast, but never acting in ║ │ │║ the real high-speed-terrain, another difference ║ │ │║ to most comparable bands from the new age. But ║ │ │║ still they always put big emphasis on variety, ║ │ │║ so not to fall into uniformity. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Take the opener "Vague Visions", "No Sign Of ║ │ │║ Heaven", "There By The Trees" or the great, ║ │ │║ unusual instrumental "2001" to check them out, ║ │ │║ but bear in mind that even though the album had ║ │ │║ been around at ridiculously low prices it's ║ │ │║ pretty hard to get nowadays. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ No milestone of the genre, but compared to the ║ │ │║ epigones of the past years a welcome breath of ║ │ │║ fresh air within Power Metal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Vague Visions [04:09] │ │ 02 - Only A Crime Away [05:03] │ │ 03 - Still Not Gone [04:54] │ │ 04 - Being Alone [04:30] │ │ 05 - No Sign Of Heaven [03:16] │ │ 06 - Virgin In Black [04:58] │ │ 07 - Breakin' Time [05:19] │ │ 08 - Out Love Is My Religion [04:52] │ │ 09 - There By The Trees [04:02] │ │ 10 - 2001 [03:48] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [44:51 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
