After Hammerfall's
triple success many new groups have
come out, eager to walk on the same
path and breathe life into the traditional
melodic heavy metal sound. But they
were only few who could make a difference
in quality and genuineness in order
to distinguish themselves from the
mediocre majority. And I'm always
glad to see them carry on at the same
high levels with a continuance on
their releases, because it's a pity
that some talented bands are vanishing
in a blink of an eye, since they don't
get the proportional attention from
the metal world.
Dream Evil consists
of 5 talented musicians-composers
that are creating magnificent song-metal
hymns that can easily mislead you
and think of those as property of
a megalithic heavy metal group like
ACCEPT, DIO, OZZY (are you satisfied
with your worldwide humiliation?)
JUDAS PRIEST etc. Dream Evil have
already released 3 albums and there
is no sign of "adulthood"
and mediocrity in their compositions.
I'm pretty sure this might not be
the ideal album for a young "Slipknot"
fan but it can be considered as a
masterpiece by all the heavy/power
metal fans out there, especially those
near the age of 30 that have more
or less lived in the golden metal
decade of the 80's. This cd will stick
in your player for a long time and
it will certainly push your speakers
to the limit, since the only way you'll
be able to enjoy it on the whole is
to play it on ten.
I'd really love to
see them live at this moment of their
career but a live 2cd/dvd release
would also do the trick. Fans of old-good
heavy metal this is definitely for
you. As for the rest do your studies;
you will only need "The Book
of Heavy Metal".
