Hard Heavy Metal

It's an unintelligible music, either Heavy, either Hard&Heavy or some pieces of AOR. Anyway it's more or less melodious music with the guitar sound of 70s.

2003

On Parole Productions
ID: OPP CD 002

Melodic Heavy Progressive Power Metal

It's not bad act in Melodic Heavy style with Progressive and Power elements and the female vocals. But there is nothing new in the music but some nice songs.

1996

Metal

1987

Metal Mayhem Music
ID: MM00003

Hard Heavy Metal

Vescera was very good in 80s, the music was really powerful and original. It's not lazy Hard&Heavy of 90s or even 21 century, the bands of 80s knew that they're pioneers of Heavy, who knows new Hard&heavy bands of current days?!

2005

Nail Records
ID: NAILCD 041

Melodic Heavy Metal

This mini album presents us ex-Ossian members, so the music is not bad, not average, it's really very good music. Probably, some Judas Priest is inside the song structure, but by melodic and by the guitar works it's something original again.

2000

Fogon Musica
ID: FM-001

Heavy Alternative Metal

It's Heavy with some Alternative or even Punk elements. The music reminds something - what? I can't say, maybe because sound doesn't fill the minds by any brand new ideas.

2006

FYN S.A.
ID: 8869 700454-2

Heavy Alternative Metal

I got Oconnor again and the music is Heavy with Alternative once again. The songs are mid-tempo with some Stoner elements and of course on Spanish language only.

1997

RIP Records
ID: cdm 1202-1269

Doom Heavy Power Thrash Stoner Metal

This album is like other one which was described by me earlier (Visions of the End) but the first one is less melodic than the second one. But vocals sound better tnan earlier.

1999

RIP Records
ID: cdm 1202-1270

Heavy Doom Stoner Metal

It's gloomy Heavy with some influence of Candlemass, but sound is too heavy for Heavy, it can be called slow Thrash (it probably is Stoner).There is similarity to Metallica of the end of 80s here. Splendid guitar riffs are often heard against the background of boring sound. Melodies which are heard not too often bewitches sometimes. The only bad thing is that their singer is absolute feebleness. He not only wheezes but also tries to sing ina clear voice but he doesn't have a good ear for music. But this album is a collection of their demos and bad adjustment of voice on a demo tape is not the trouble.

1999

RIP Records
ID: D&L 09

Heavy Metal

This band plays great non-standard for US music of great label RIP Records again. In general it's a mixture of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden with some Doom influences.

2003

Thrash Corner Records
ID: THCR-012

Heavy Metal

This live album is really honest recording - at least once there aren't studio editorship or re-recorings of unchancy parts of the live performance. The music is the same - gloomy Heavy with powerful sound in classic genre.

2004

Thrash Corner Records
ID: THCR 017

Melodic Heavy Power Metal

What waits beyond. This band doesn't put an end to the war for Heavy Metal purifying. This band became stronger and faster, the some songs shift close even to Speed/Thrash.

2008

Progrock Records
ID: SPV 452562 CD

Progressive Metal

I haven't heard such plangent Progressive long ago. It's experimental Prog with some Dream Theater touches but with the absolutely insipid songs.

2004

Scarlet Records
ID: SC 093-2

Power Heavy Progressive Metal

As marked on the disk box, this band features Labyrinth members. Yes, it's true and musical direction is close to Labyrinth, but it's not a copy, that's good. But in other respects music doesn't have anything original, it brings us already known sound.

2003

Lion Music
ID: LMC 069

Progressive Metal

While there are people in the world who don't afraid to create instrumental music I'll live peacefully knowing that the real musicians still exist. This music as is usually for Prog instrumental albums is between experimental Jazz Rock and Melodic acoustic music.

2008

Mascot Records
ID: irond cd 09-dd729

instrumental Fusion Progressive Rock

As for such music it's not my favourite genre though I've never refused to listen to the similar works. It's as is wont complex Jazzy sound in Progressive atmosphere.

2005

Black Lotus Records
ID: irond cd 06-dd345

Hard Heavy Metal

Eddie invited many famous musicians for this album, so there weren't any Twisted Sister's similarities though Mr. Snider didn't forget to take part on this project also. The music is mid-tempo Hard&Heavy with many musical influences from 70s.

1996

Century Media Records 

Black Death Metal

It's not pure Black or classic Death, it's something between. There are standard for Black guitar riffs and rhythm, but the guitar works are closer to Death.

1997

Century Media Records 

Melodic Black Death Metal

This album doesn't lose contact with the other similar albums of the masses of Melodic Black/Death bands. I don't want to compare it with someone else, this album is like others at all.

1998

Century Media Records 

Death Black Metal

It's something in Death Metal key with some Rotting Christ and In Flames elements. But the part of the album is closer to standard Melodic Black in Catamenia style.

2002

Century Media Records
ID: fo208cd

Melodic Death Black Metal

It's a clone of Dimmu Borgir, Catamenia, etc. It's loud and fast music with all attributes of Melodic Black/Death. This album has no originality, there is high quality only there.

2000

Phoenix Music
ID: cdm 0701-619

Heavy Metal

2001

Angel Air Records
ID: SJPCD085

Blues Hard Rock

Everything but Hendrix songs is more or less pop Hard Rock/Hard&Heavy with the modern influences of pop Rock and Alternative. And you don't find any Saxon touches!

2006

CD-Maximum
ID: cdm 0805-2583

Melodic Heavy Metal

Suddenly this unknown band approves itself as very interesting Melodic Metal band. It's not only memorable songs with the good refrains but there is very good guitar work there also.

2004

Limb Music Products
ID: LMP 0410-071 CD

Melodic Power Metal

Yes, I'm going to repeat the words about Power Metal bands which play melodic music in the classic traditions. It's a mixture of Helloween, Gamma Ray, etc. It's just good music, there isn't anything special on this album.

1997

Massacre Records
ID: MAS PC0124

Heavy Metal

It seems again we have wrong meaning of Power Metal when it's 'US Power'. It's more modern Heavy with Stoner elements with the songs which I'm tired to listen to very soon after the music began to play.

2003

Mausoleum Records
ID: HEL280

Melodic Heavy Metal

This album is based on epical US Heavy Metal of 80s and on Iron Maiden traditions. The music is not fast, I think that the band position on this album is to revive Heavy of 80s again.

1996

Metal Blade Records
ID: 3984-14216-2

Speed Heavy Metal

These are 2 albums on 1 CD. Probably, I chose not good time for listening to these albums, but I became tired very much while listening and I just waited impatiently for the end of the album. The music is Heavy with many Speed parts, every track (I hope it's just my preconceived opinion and it will change in the future after next listeninng) looks like other tracks of this relese.

2007

Candlelight Records
ID: myst cd 278

Thrash Metal

It's true Thrash without any other styles' influences. It's like a mixture of Slayer and Kreator, as the music of the album stared and 'till the end.

2002

Century Media Records
ID: CM 1183-2

Melodic Heavy Power Progressive Metal

This band differs from other modern US bands. It makes me glad that such bands still live in US. This band can be compared e.g. with Prog-oriented Iced Earth, Edguy's young blood and of course with Loudness whose track Onward performed on this album.
