Hamunaptra – Llévate Mi Alma (2012)

“Take My Soul” is presented as the evolution of heavy metal from Alicante Hamunaptra, a band and their debut album left us relatively recently and are willing to take root in the national scene, with a second much more dramatic effect successful than the first, although there is still a long way to go.

Before getting to the content that is after all what we are interested in a review, I want to comment as a curiosity that the CD on the back incorporates a QR code (such as fashionable in recent days), to through which we can access their official facebook and follow the record with their respective letters, all new to this that I wrote (perhaps some see it as normal …).

Vamp Le Stat – Music to Strip To!!: “Live” 1994

TODAY!

This 7 track CD is very unique because it contains 6 songs never heard before. The band intended on recording them in the studio later for a new album but broke up instead. This album documents just how ass kicking Vamp Le Stat was live. Includes a live version of “She’s Not In Love”

Dreamcatcher – Soul Design 2012

NOW!

Power metal would not exist if it wasn’t for the beautiful touch of the keyboard and a band who definitely embraces this instrument into their line-up are the amazing Leeds based symphonic power metal band Dreamcatcher. Concentrating their sound around computer generated noises, these power metal prodigies have released one of the finest debut power metal albums, and the best bit is that they are British. Dreamcatcher are flying the flag nice and high for British heavy metal, and their astounding debut album Soul Design is a must have in any power metal fanatics collection. Let loose the high pitched vocals, release the shredding guitar lines and last but no means least…… CRANK UP THE KEYBOARDS!

CYRIL LEPIZZERA – Servatis A Maleficum 2007

NOW!

For me, there are two types of great guitarists. Those I would classify in the category of technicians. Real pros of the six strings (or 12 …) that have a technical unstoppable. And then there are very large, you know, those who flirt with genius. And Cyril is LEPIZZERA thereof. The difference? The first play masterfully, but the compositions are often displays of pure technique. Do you remember “the man who plays faster than his shadow”? The latter have the same qualities guitaristic but they put their technology for a brilliant inspiration.
The sound is powerful, clear and always emotionally charged. Like what the guitar heroes are not just demonstrations which, apart from their pedagogical virtues quite razors, if I may … Cyril LEPIZZERA offers us an enchanting journey through the maze of his inspiration, always bright, despite a title of album that would not disgrace a CD of Death Metal … No, the metal of the Marseille artist is pure, bright and straight as a blade.
