Today’s review is of American Speed Metal band Hammerstar’s debut album.
This release offers some purely old-school Metal done the right way. These songs praise Metal through epic themes, kickass and seriously shredding solos and an outstanding vocal performance with few new bands being comparable to it. In a mix of Bruce Dickinson and Dan Beehler, these shrieks will mark their lyrics into the listener’s brain.
But this album is not only a duel between virtuoso guitars and talented vocals, there’s also some compositional sturdiness upheld by steady drums and bass guitar that add into the mix that element of catchiness that make the songs memorable. Fans of anything classic, upbeat and overall Metal should check out this tribute to the masters which also displays its own personality. This is surely a band with potential. My personal highlights are “Heart Of Stone” and “Soul Reaper”.
I recommend this album to fans of Speed Metal and Heavy Metal. My rating is of 9,5/10.
