With not too far of a ║ │ │║ cry from the 2014 release High Priestess, ║ │ │║ although they have gone through a few sound ║ │ │║ transformations, the band ultimately ended up ║ │ │║ with a successful eleven-track û plus acoustic ║ │ │║ bonus song û for their latest album. This ║ │ │║ quintet of musicians features Kobra Paige as its ║ │ │║ only female member and Jasio Kulakowski as the ║ │ │║ masterful guitarist, along with Brad Kennedy on ║ │ │║ bass, and Marcus Lee on the creative drumming. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ As a fairly recent edition to the Heavy Metal ║ │ │║ world, in their ninth year of existence, Prevail ║ │ │║ II marks the bandÆs fifth studio accomplishment ║ │ │║ and a wonderment of experimentation. Starting ║ │ │║ off with an appropriately heavy track called ║ │ │║ ôLosing My Humanity,ö KobraÆs vocal range is ║ │ │║ fully exemplified using highs and lows that ║ │ │║ overlay the classic Heavy Metal guitar riffs ║ │ │║ nicely. The next track, ôLet Me Love You,ö is a ║ │ │║ marketable one, and obviously a lovable tune ║ │ │║ that would do well in a live setting. It also ║ │ │║ goes over well in the acoustic format, as is ║ │ │║ featured at the end of the album. A love ballad ║ │ │║ at heart, with a touch of feminine independence, ║ │ │║ the track gives the listener full satisfaction. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Next up comes a two-minute, well-written ║ │ │║ acoustic interlude titled ôRibeö that simply ║ │ │║ breaks up any chance of monotony, and challenges ║ │ │║ the listener to attempt to identify the band as ║ │ │║ only one genre or key sound. The song ôFallen ║ │ │║ Empireö jumps back into the fast and furious ║ │ │║ Heavy Metal world, and lends itself to a similar ║ │ │║ vibe as bands such as Huntress with the ║ │ │║ creatively driven guitars and deeply ║ │ │║ intoxicating vocals. Immediately following are ║ │ │║ more semi-heavy tracks, including ôHeartacheö ║ │ │║ and ôVelvet Roses,ö packed with flavorful trials ║ │ │║ and topics. As a more Rock ballad-type tune, ôA ║ │ │║ Modern Day Heroö comes in at a slightly ║ │ │║ underwhelming pace, but still captures the ║ │ │║ necessary attention with charm that deems it a ║ │ │║ worthy selection regardless. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Triumphantly reaching towards the end of the ║ │ │║ album, the song ôYouÆre Insaneö flows back to ║ │ │║ the heavy and the fantastical realm with ║ │ │║ creatively flowing vocals and beats. Finally, ║ │ │║ before the end, Kobra tones it down once again ║ │ │║ and takes on the challenge of a Fleetwood Mac ║ │ │║ song, ôThe Chain.ö A perfectly well-done ║ │ │║ stylistic rendition that further lends to the ║ │ │║ comprehension that KobraÆs courage, talent, and ║ │ │║ skill push her to the height of high-end ║ │ │║ vocalist status. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Prevail II comes from a good-hearted world of ║ │ │║ peace and loving emotional passion released ║ │ │║ through some great stylized Heavy Metal tunes. A ║ │ │║ great step forward for Kobra and the Lotus, it ║ │ │║ also highly recommend catching them on their ║ │ │║ current tour with Texas Hippie Coalition. It is ║ │ │║ for this reason that CrypticRock give Prevail II ║ │ │║ 4.5 out of 5 stars. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Lisa Burke for ║ │ │║ www.crypticrock.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Kobra Paige - Vocals ║ │ │║ Brad Kennedy - Bass ║ │ │║ Marcus Lee - Drums ║ │ │║ Jasio Kulakowski - Guitars ║ │ │║ Jurekk James - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Losing My Humanity [04:22] │ │ 02 - Let Me Love You [04:32] │ │ 03 - Ribe [02:07] │ │ 04 - My Immortal [05:03] │ │ 05 - Human Empire [04:50] │ │ 06 - Heartache [04:33] │ │ 07 - Velvet Roses [04:09] │ │ 08 - White Water [06:06] │ │ 09 - You┤re Insane [05:06] │ │ 10 - Modern Day Hero [06:01] │ │ 11 - Let Me Love You (Bonus Track) [04:34] │ │ 12 - Let Me Love You (Acoustic Version) (Bonus [04:03] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [55:26 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
