│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ STAL TEARS is a Heavy Metal band hailing from ║ │
│║ Greece. They were formed in 1997, with their ║ │
│║ first official album released in 2006. Their new ║ │
│║ album, ôGeneration Xö, is a positive step in the ║ │
│║ right direction. The music is fast and melodic, ║ │
│║ and full of positive energy.The song ôInner ║ │
│║ Spiritö contains a fast pace with a slight tempo ║ │
│║ change and a very good guitar solo. It is clear ║ │
│║ upon the first listening that CRYSTAL TEARS is a ║ │
│║ band full of professional musicians. Everything ║ │
│║ is done with laser sharp precision. ôNightmare ║ │
│║ Serenadeö starts off with a killer riff by ║ │
│║ Dimitris Goutziamanis. It appears to me that he ║ │
│║ has paid close attention to maintaining a ║ │
│║ feeling of heaviness so no one is left with any ║ │
│║ doubt where he stands, and that is pure Heavy ║ │
│║ Metal!s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The bass fits in the mix perfectly to the point ║ │
│║ where it blends in seamlessly. There is also ║ │
│║ some top notch drumming here. It is clear a lot ║ │
│║ of attention was paid to getting things just ║ │
│║ right. A solid effort was brought in from ║ │
│║ producer R. D. Liapakis. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The vocalist, Ian Parry, delivers the goods. I ║ │
│║ heard more than a little bit of ELEGY in his ║ │
│║ vocals (of course) and why not, since hefronted ║ │
│║ them from 1992 to 2000. It is there that he left ║ │
│║ his mark on the world of Power Metal and he is ║ │
│║ continuing the legacy within CRYSTAL TEARS.Power ║ │
│║ Metal isnÆt everyoneÆs cup of tea, but itÆs a ║ │
│║ lot easier to get into when it doesnÆt very ║ │
│║ well, and that is most certainly the case here. ║ │
│║ This is the most surprising release of the year ║ │
│║ for me. I can honestly say that I was not ║ │
│║ expecting much from this CD and I am more than ║ │
│║ satisfied with their effort here. The production ║ │
│║ is rock solid. The Greek Metal scene is ║ │
│║ producing some very talented bands and has a ║ │
│║ knack for putting out nice sounding albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It is hard for me to pick out a favorite track ║ │
│║ since all of the songs are very good. One of my ║ │
│║ favorite moments from this album is the high ║ │
│║ pitched scream from Ian in ôRock Until We Fallö. ║ │
│║ I am sure it will bring a smile to the face of ║ │
│║ most Power Metal fans. To followers of the genre ║ │
│║ I feel you are in for a treat here; I highly ║ │
│║ recommend this album to all. You could certainly ║ │
│║ find worse ways to spend your money. I have a ║ │
│║ feeling CRYSTAL TEARS will be around for quite ║ │
│║ some time. ║ │
