FIREWIND „Between Heaven and Hell”

This disc is very refreshing to hear being it is coming from the US and it is in the power metal vain. This band features Stephen Fredrick (ex Kenziner) on vocals. He delivers a strong and convincing performance with lots of confidance.(Gus G) guitars & key's, this man will make a name for himself real quik in the metal world. The rest of the band consists of Brian Harris on drums and Honstantine on bass. These four guys play with a flair that has not been heard from a US power metal act in a while. When listining to the disc you can hear hints of such acts as Primal Fear and Malmsteen. A slight progressive sound but for the most part all power.

The production on this disc is done very will and is done by David T Chastain. As many new bands dont get the chance to have good production on there first disc this is not the case here. Production is crisp and clean. I would highly recomend giving this disc a try for anyone who is a big fan of groups like Malmsteen, Primal Fear, and such groups as Saxon and Iron Maiden. You can hear sounds of the old school and the new sounds of metal hear and on a scale of 1/10 asd I rate all of my stuff it would receive a 9. Hard to beleive this is there freshman effert.
