Music: Heavy Metal

This is fifth album of Germans. Germans always could be proud good heavy/power metal bands, which ones haven't sense mention, because people who know the theme they know which ones bands I mean.
METALIUM exists on metal scene some time and is well-known in sure circles also. And this time the musicians METALIUM did not disappoint us. “Demons of Insanity” is the very limpid material, folding with 14 compositions. The musicians are sure one's the power metal way, what they choosed long ago. The pinch of progression enriches the whole, this inflicts that the arrangements are well-thought-out and very interesting. The aggressive, heavy, very dynamic guitar riffs, sharp and melodious solo parties, the powerful work of drums and the bass as well as high, sometimes hoarse and the melodious vocal helped by strong vocals or backing singers create the material. The supplement of the whole are appearing here and there powerful, dark, emphasizing keyboard's parties, which the performer is Don Airey (well-known from DEEP PURPLE, or else from albums of WHITESNAKE, RAINBOW, OZZY OSBOURNE or from such materials like “Never Say Die” of BLACK SABBATH, “Painkiller” of JUDAS PRIEST). The tracks are charged the powerful dose of energy, they have the special melodic as well as considerable dose of darkness. There also could not lack the very nostalgic, gentle and very affecting ballad – “Silence of the Night”.
For these, which ones do not know the creation of the band I will add that if someone is the lover of bands in style of HELLOWEEN, BLACK SABBATH (without Ozzy Osbourne) or MERCYFUL FATE that has to have METALIUM!!!
