Another release from metal label Crash Music and is very differnt from the Altar one that I commented above. While the Altar release was closer to death metal and this is a release of total heavy/power/thrash metal and the first thing that got my attention is how good the CD sounds. The production here enhances the sound of guitars, drums and vocals making them sound more powerful. Power metallers will hail this release because it has all the elements of the genre but far much better done than some of those mediocres bands that are out there. And what I like more are certain thrash metal elements from the eighties that I can listen in their music such as some vocals and choruses that are certainly welcome to my ears. Favorite trcks: "Sky´s Burning", "Welcome in the Damned Circle", "In the Distance". Contact: www.crash-inc.com
