│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ http://natural-born-steel.com/ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Japanese Metal bands - well, most of them ║ │
│║ actually - had the tension to draw their ║ │
│║ inspiration mostly from the European Metal ║ │
│║ styles rather than the American. These warriors ║ │
│║ - for the first time 'reaching' my ears - carry ║ │
│║ on this tradition and - even if the more things ║ │
│║ change the more they stay the same - Maverick ║ │
│║ has the potential to please fans of the sound ║ │
│║ described below (if the album is properly ║ │
│║ circulated outta the Land of the Rising Sun). ║ │
│║ 1992 was a crucial year for Metal music. DREAM ║ │
│║ THEATER let loose their Images And Words opus, ║ │
│║ Ronnie James Dio re-joins BLACK SABBATH in ║ │
│║ Dehumanizer, PANTERA get known worldwide with ║ │
│║ the release of Vulgar Display Of Power and ║ │
│║ MAVERICK is born from the ashes (or ║ │
│║ reincarnation) of 80s Power Metal act WARHELL. ║ │
│║ So-far deeds of the band summed it up to only ║ │
│║ three demo sessions, but - as I had the chance ║ │
│║ to read - the band saw lack of luck plus ║ │
│║ numerous lineup changes. Hence, it was not until ║ │
│║ late 2004 that MAVERICK exposed themselves ║ │
│║ through their participation at a Remedy Records' ║ │
│║ tribute album to RUNNING WILD called The ║ │
│║ Revivalry (performing Blazon Stone). 2005 was ║ │
│║ the time - finally - for the debut MAVERICK ║ │
│║ release. ║ │
│║ Maverick - produced by Fuyuhiko Inui (SOLITUDE, ║ │
│║ DAY AFTER TOMORROW) is good. The tracklist sees ║ │
│║ songs strongly influenced from the European ║ │
│║ Heavy/Power Metal sound. Bands like ACCEPT, ║ │
│║ HELLOWEEN, RUNNING WILD, JUDAS PRIEST, MANOWAR ║ │
│║ and (early) EUROPE seems to be the major well of ║ │
│║ ideas for MAVERICK. Luckily enough, the band ║ │
│║ does not fall in the trap of regenerating the ║ │
│║ current 'happy Metal' cliches. Hence, there's a ║ │
│║ good amount of mysticism and frozen atmosphere ║ │
│║ in the album, the double-bass drumming parts are ║ │
│║ heard only when needed and - most of all - the ║ │
│║ audition rolls out rather smooth (without ║ │
│║ getting tired). The vocals' work is also ║ │
│║ notable, since Hotta deals with passion, melody ║ │
│║ and fury in the desirable portions. ║ │
│║ The band sees a god deal of personality - their ║ │
│║ country of origin supports this fact - and ║ │
│║ Maverick will be a good company for fans of the ║ │
│║ European Heavy/Power Metal sound; let's try ║ │
│║ something different, huh? ║ │
