CLASSIC ALBUM: LIEGE LORD "MASTER CONTROL"

 

LIEGE LORD - MASTER CONTROL (Metal Blade Recs. - 1988): This is a total classic of speed/tharash metal de way it used to be in the late eighties: with great riffs, screeching vocals and virtuosism (guitarist paul Nelson is great shining through all the album). What makes this album music so original are the diversity of the riffs and the rhythms that are like a razorblade cutting through all the songs. What can I say of classics like "Eye of the Storm" or "Master Control"? What can I say of the great cover of Rainbow´s "Kill The King" ? That are fantastic ! Vocals like the ones of Joseph Comeau are not common nowadays (they can be piercing, subtle or anything he wants depending on the song). I can add just one thing: I hope this band gets reunited really soon, because they would be a bit of fresh air for heavy music. Favorite tracks: "Eye Of the Storm", "Soldiers Fortune", "Suspicion" and "Broken Wasteland". Contact: Liegelord2@aol.com
