1989

Melodiya Record Company 

Heavy Power Metal

It's not the music which lives for a long time in the minds of the people with the catching tunes, though they could be there. The first track is classically fast one for Heavy of 80s, almost all other tracks are mid-tempo.

1990

Heavy Metal

This band lived for a short time, this music corresponded to many other bands of 80s that played Heavy, but still couldn't leave Rock'n'Rollish Hard&Heavy. This album is nice, with some good tunes and guitar solos, there is something to listen to there.

2010

My Graveyard Productions
ID: MGP-067

Heavy Metal

It's Heavy with some Power elements and a very little more Death elements. It's not bad music with the various sound and stylistically different songs.

2002

Arise Records
ID: ARISE 031

Melodic Speed Power Metal

This band is very nice mixture of Angra, Rhapsody, Dark Moor including some early Symphony X touches. This music is in the traditions of Spanish or Italian Melodic Speed&Power with the memorable tunes and excellent guitar works.

2004

Arise Records
ID: ARISE 060

Melodic Speed Power Metal

It's still the same Melodic Speed&Power without anything new in the music. It's just very good music in the general traditions and with few Progressive touches.

2005

Massacre Records
ID: amg 290

Melodic Progressive Power Metal

Without doubt it's not the music in the classic meaning of Progressive style. I already know many US bands which increase the power in the music though they're Melodic Progressive inside. Do you need the examples? Turn your attention to Redemption.

2009

InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMCD 316

Progressive Metal

Many Progressive and few but bright powerful parts, it's new Redemption's album. So it's a collection not bad melodious Progressive songs, not very original but very good without doubt.

2007

InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMCD 273

Progressive Metal

I thought real Progressive Metal must be like this album: complex, unpredictable, exciting and a bit melodious. This album is boring partially but in general it's really truly Progressive work.

2011

InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMLTDCD 350

Progressive Metal

The band can't be better than it already is. The music is the same Progressive with some boring songs, with some good songs, there isn't new there again.

2006

The A Label
ID: DY100350

Heavy Metal

Do you still cry for Heavens Gate? You cry for the moon because Redkey crosses Heaves Gate in splendid inimitable Rettke vocals and semi-Heavens Gate line-up only. But Redkey music already left 90s and absorbed 2000s trends. This is slow but powerful music with some Progressive touches, with the excellent vocals and the great guitars works.

2000

Voliac Rock Productions
ID: V-001

Heavy Metal

It can be called Heavy as well as Celtic Frost can be called Heavy. It's not just an accidental comparison, I hear something (e.g. the vocals) similar to Celtic Frost, though the music itself isn't Celtic Frost at all.

2010

Voliac Rock Productions
ID: V-013

Heavy Black Metal

It's the same modern Heavy-like music with Black Metal vocals, there is nothing interesting. Sometimes it sounds like an average copy of In Flames.

1989

Evil Legend Records 

Thrash Metal

It's true Californian Thrash of 80s. This music is in the spirit in which Metallica played until Master of Puppets. The music usually sounds not very fast, with the clear vocals.

2007

Sleaszy Rider Records
ID: SR-0063

Hard Heavy Metal

It's not very original and memorable Hard&Heavy with some not bad guitar works. In other respects it's an average enough work in spite of Michael Bormann on the vocals.

1989

Karthago Records
ID: KR 007

Heavy Metal

He wanted to conquer the world but he has got standard result of many musicians - classic, not very original Heavy. He tried to do everything but the drums, unfortunately it was the reason why this music was good but common.

2009

AOR Heaven
ID: irond cd 09-dd756

Blues Hard Rock

Where have you hidden many years, dear Mr. Reece? Why did you keep this music from the people? It's a wonderful Bluesy Hard Rock with very impressive guitar works and with very suitable for this music vocals.

2002

Secret Port Records
ID: SPR 0010

Melodic Heavy Metal

There is nothing strange that Greeks sing about ancient Greeks. During the all disk sounding I can't define what this music is similar to - these style and the riffs are known before, but I can't recall it at all. In general it can remind Savatage and Iron Maiden remotely. Manowar is present here as narrator voice that sounds for a long time almost between all tracks. The choirs remind me of Therion and (Morgana) Lefay.

2001

Secret Port Records
ID: SPR 0002

Heavy Progressive Metal

For me this band is from those bands which can present us nothing but when you're listening to it, you reach a conclusion, no, it's a good band. This work sounds a bit raw like a good demo, there are of course some good solos, riffs, tunes, etc. there, there is something on this album that can catches you.

2001

Brennus Association

Progressive Metal

Melodic Power Heavy Metal

2002

Lion Music
ID: cdm 1202-1265

Melodic Power Heavy Metal

There are Vescera, Olausson, an enthusiast of quick Malmsteen here. But it's not quite Malmsteen. Stump sounds like both Malmsteen and Pell (not Blackmore). But sound is heavier. Sometimes he plays arpeggio, sometimes - blues, there are a lot of tunes. Keys are somewhere in the background, there is no their interlacing with guitar here.

1997

Locomotive Music
ID: LM-027 CD

Melodic Heavy Metal

It's hard to be a good guitarist, it's harder to be a guitarist in Malmsteen style. You need to know how to play arpeggios quickly, the biggest problem is not to copy Malmsteen's ideas, riffs, tunes, etc. Stump coped with this difficulty. Yes, music is Malmsteen-like, but there is something on this album and in the band in the whole that says that this band's good and interesting.

2010

selfproduction
ID: LRCD002

Melodic Speed Power Metal

It's a good and high-skilled music for different Melodic Speed&Power bands but it's not good to be something above a second-rate band. This music has nothing original, unfortunately it's just another Melodic Speed&Power band.

2012

Rivel Records
ID: LRCD0012

Melodic Speed Power Metal

It's good Melodic Speed&Power with some influences of Rhapsody, Royal Hunt, Virgin Steele. This music is solid enough.

2007

Kill Again Records
ID: KA029

Thrash Metal

It's fast and aggressive Thrash with Black Metal vocals. This combination gives us very interesting mixture of European Thrash sound, some Heavy and Speed touches and cardinally not Thrash vocals.

2004

Centrale Records
ID: CD 51802

Melodic Power Heavy Metal

I'm sure there are many good unknown bands with very interesting music in the world, but usually these unknown bands are mediocre and non-original enough, I mean this band also. It's something common from Melodic Power with good but out of tune vocalist and non-memorable music.

2008

My Graveyard Productions
ID: MGP-031

Heavy Metal

I consider it's not bad Heavy but not very memorable and unexciting. I have no additional words even after listening to this album twice.

2010

My Graveyard Productions
ID: MGP-052

Heavy Metal

In my opinion it's better than their previous work. It's more or less ordinary Heavy with some not bad songs together with the typical and forgettable songs.

2003

Mascot Records
ID: irond cd 04-dd201

Melodic Hard Heavy Metal

I didn't want to compare him with anyone, but I had to do it: it's Malmsteen exactly. This music is less speedy than Malmsteen's music, some musical themes aren't completed, everything else is in style of other musicians released by Mascot.

2001

Regain Records
