│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With a name like TWINS CREW, I imagined that ║ │
│║ there would be twins in the band, I was right. ║ │
│║ They both play the guitar. The band is from ║ │
│║ Sweden and was formed in 2007. The music is a ║ │
│║ conglomeration (mixture) of various bands they ║ │
│║ cite as influences, such as HELLOWEEN, IRON ║ │
│║ MAIDEN, STRATOVARIUS, and JUDAS PRIEST. The band ║ │
│║ has tried their hardest to be the best new ║ │
│║ thing. That really shines through on their debut ║ │
│║ release ôJudgement Nightö. Andreas Larsson has a ║ │
│║ very good voice. He has more than just one or ║ │
│║ two octaves of range. He can sing in a very high ║ │
│║ pitch as well as a more moderate tone. My ║ │
│║ closest estimate would be Geoff Tate at the ║ │
│║ highest and Bruce DickinsonÆs normal singing ║ │
│║ voice at the lower end. The guitar work is ║ │
│║ sensational and that can be attributed solely to ║ │
│║ the twins. Since they draw from so many ║ │
│║ influences, it isnÆt easy to classify what type ║ │
│║ of metal they play. It is certainly melodic and ║ │
│║ in some places it has the Power Metal feel to ║ │
│║ it. Based by the lyrical content of the songs, ║ │
│║ Power Metal would be the closest I could come up ║ │
│║ with, but donÆt expect it to be as fast as ║ │
│║ HELLOWEEN. That part of their style is in the ║ │
│║ vocals, not so much in the instrumentation. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Sometimes the drums are hard to hear over the ║ │
│║ top of the guitar and bass, but not all the ║ │
│║ time, but it does happen. You can hear the snare ║ │
│║ but the double bass is buried, especially in the ║ │
│║ song, ôProtectors Of The Skyö. It is a great ║ │
│║ song, but they need to turn up the bass ║ │
│║ drumming. The guitars in the song have a lot of ║ │
│║ crunch and a chug along quality to them. The ║ │
│║ band has released two EPÆs before this debut ║ │
│║ release and the only way they could release this ║ │
│║ new album was to do it themselves. They ║ │
│║ mentioned in their biography that they have ║ │
│║ received offers from several labels, but that ║ │
│║ they would leave the band bankrupt. They mention ║ │
│║ the fact that album sales are poor these days. I ║ │
│║ have gone on and on about this fact for years. ║ │
│║ If people would stop illegally downloading ║ │
│║ albums, then bands like this wouldnÆt have to do ║ │
│║ it all by themselves. As far as the HELLOWEEN ║ │
│║ influence goes you can really hear it in ôItÆs ║ │
│║ My Timeö where the dual guitar solos remind me ║ │
│║ very much of their great 80Æs albums ôKeepers Of ║ │
│║ The Seven Keysö part one and two. Some of the ║ │
│║ songs sound like I have heard them before, but ║ │
│║ that doesnÆt last for an entire song, just parts ║ │
│║ of choruses and some solos. They are all well ║ │
│║ crafted and very melodic. They also manage to ║ │
│║ stick in some keyboards, but only a little. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The vocalist does his best Geoff Tate impression ║ │
│║ in the first song of the album, and not just in ║ │
│║ the higher pitches. This is also the second band ║ │
│║ in the last few weeks to have a song named ║ │
│║ ôAtlantisö and it has neat introduction that ║ │
│║ builds and gets more aggressive as it goes. I ║ │
│║ would still like a little bit more volume on the ║ │
│║ drums, but they did this by themselves. ║ │
│║ Hopefully they will get a good producer on their ║ │
│║ next album to make sure you can hear them ║ │
│║ better. When the music is less busy, there are ║ │
│║ times the bass drums shine through, but when the ║ │
│║ song goes to a fast tempo, they go flat. ItÆs ║ │
│║ not enough to make it unlistenable, but it does ║ │
│║ need to be addressed. I would caution people to ║ │
│║ go to their myspace page and give them a listen ║ │
│║ before you make a purchase, but be warned, there ║ │
│║ are no songs from this album on the page at the ║ │
│║ time of this review, just early EP songs. ║ │
│║ Overall, this is not a bad record, but it could ║ │
│║ have been better were the bass drums given more ║ │
│║ volume. Other than that, there are no complaints ║ │
│║ at all, just that one. ║ │
