REVIEW: DREAMSFEAR - PRELUDE TO DESTINY

 

DREAMSFEAR - PRELUDE TO DESTINY (Independent - 1998): This is an irish quartet with a style that is a cross between power, heavy and thrash metal. The riffs are those that yopu could expect from a band of this style (the guitars have a fat sound that brings us to mind thrash metal) but the vocals are different since they are a little more growling and they made me remind some eighties thrash metal band. (Listen for example to "Ruins" (3:46) to know what I am talking about). This MCD has four songs, which have a duration that allows a lot of variations to happen within a same song (the shortest song is "Bleak Horizons" with 5 minutes 54 secs.) There are riffs in the vein of Metallica ´s "Ride The Lightning" or "Master of Puppets" and a lot of use of twin guitars (it has been a long time since I last heard this, IT IS REALLY COOL!!!!). The only point agains this CD is the sound that is a litle bit confusing in some parts, but that can be solved with a good sound engineer and a good studio (it is just a matter of money). I hope to listen something more from this guys in the future (that will be out at the end of this year). They deserve an applause for playing a style that is not commercial and for the effort that they make. Favorite tracks: "Bleak Horizons" and "Burning Bridges".
