Italian label Alkemist Fanatix Europe lengthened their tentacles not only beyond Italy, but beyond Europe. The co-operation with Japanese horde GUILTYS LAW is effect of this. The band came into being in first half of 90 years. From this time the band changed the line-up and recorded several demos and it looks like this is their debut album…
However GUILTYS LAW did not surprise me with his music… Typical classic Power/Heavy Metal in style HELLOWEEN but without imaginativeness… The melody is there supposedly, the solos also are and obviously the heavy guitars… The dynamics also is there supposedly but I do not feel larger energy in this. I think probably it is fault of the vocal. In moments this singing seems nasal and without some larger emotional commitment. Sometimes it seems like the vocalist sings higher sounds with difficulty. But the largest minus is in accent of the vocal. Unfortunately the Japanese accent is clearly audible in the English lyrics. And it does not sound originally. It would be better if the vocalist sang in Japanese…
Despite the vocal, you can find nice accents here – the dynamic backing singers in style RUNNING WILD or interesting solo motifs. And some guitar arrangements are able to stimulate quite pretty well… Generally, the works are dynamic, galloping and first of all are melodious.
However I would propose vocalist's change, and it will be better.
