│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Have we reached the verdict regarding our ║ │
│║ future? Was George Orwell right? Has the big ║ │
│║ brother been watching over without us know, as ║ │
│║ if we were citizens in a global silent ║ │
│║ dictatorship? And what about the social ║ │
│║ networks, are those enough to be considered as ║ │
│║ the beginning of a certain end to our healthy ║ │
│║ minds? Too many questions and plenty of answers, ║ │
│║ maybe some would be left in the air for sure. ║ │
│║ Possibly the only thing left is tell about it, ║ │
│║ warn the commonwealth of probably future's ║ │
│║ dangers and hazards. Under the veil of melodic ║ │
│║ Metal, the Bavarian POWERWORLD created various ║ │
│║ perceptions of the future to come. Several views ║ │
│║ have been seen in movies over the years, others ║ │
│║ have been preserved for impending use, maybe to ║ │
│║ write songs about. POWERWORLD created the next ║ │
│║ revolutionary hysteria of the cyber world with ║ │
│║ their brand new album, "Cybersteria", via SPV / ║ │
│║ Steamhammer Records. Nothing too innovative ║ │
│║ musically, but this album, as the previous ║ │
│║ before it, is enough to encourage the listener ║ │
│║ to appreciate the band's profound talents for ║ │
│║ their version of Heavy Metal. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Cybersteria", as the band's new album, served ║ │
│║ also a cornerstone for the change the engulfed ║ │
│║ the group. In 2011, after suffering from a ║ │
│║ continuous illness and bad health, the band's ║ │
│║ previous vocalist, Andrew McDermott, died. David ║ │
│║ Reece, known from his single work with ACCEPT ║ │
│║ and a constant member of BANGALORE CHOIR, ║ │
│║ stepped in as a replacement. Yet for the reason ║ │
│║ of musical differences, the ex-JADED HEART ║ │
│║ Bluesy voice of Michael Bormann, took charge of ║ │
│║ the vocal recordings. Furthermore, Guitarists, ║ │
│║ Andreas Rippelmeier (HEAVENWARD) substituting ║ │
│║ for Barish Kepic, and Keyboards players, Marco ║ │
│║ Grasshoff coming in for Nils Neumann, were ║ │
│║ replaced for the recording, possibly as new band ║ │
│║ members under the leadership of bassist, Ilker ║ │
│║ Ersin. In comparison to the previous "Human ║ │
│║ Parasite", this has been quite an uplifting ║ │
│║ experience, as this unified group generated a ║ │
│║ decisive, partly intricate and complex, ║ │
│║ concoction of Euro melodic, but heavy duty, ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal in range of ACCEPT or VICTORY, ║ │
│║ Bluesy furbished Hard Rock of whether 70s DEEP ║ │
│║ PURPLE and 80s WHITESNAKE, aside to a variety of ║ │
│║ Power Metal attributes of STRATOVARIUS and ║ │
│║ darkened features of EVERGREY. Not what I would ║ │
│║ call an explicit musical skirmish, but surly ║ │
│║ this particular one is a fresh air in a cool ║ │
│║ summer night. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Cybersteria" enabled smooth catchiness just as ║ │
│║ the previous release, yet the dimmer veil that ║ │
│║ hovered above of the Blues created an atmosphere ║ │
│║ of something that might resemble sorrowfulness ║ │
│║ and emotional distress. One might also notice ║ │
│║ fear, especially within the theme of the lyrics, ║ │
│║ and Bormann's raspy tone of Jorn meets Coverdale ║ │
│║ tone of voice seemed to be the right choice to ║ │
│║ go along with. The album's rising star, "Coast ║ │
│║ Of Tears", is an aching, hooking, slow to mid ║ │
│║ tempo rumpus of emotional distress, a slight ║ │
│║ murky, powerful riffing and impressive vocals, ║ │
│║ reminded me a bit of EVERGREY but with a bleak ║ │
│║ PURPLE aloofness. "Back On Me" seemed endless at ║ │
│║ first, but ended up being highly articulate and ║ │
│║ melodic. Similar to "Human Parasite", POWERWORLD ║ │
│║ remained modernly produced in terms of sound, ║ │
│║ but for songs such as this one, nothing sounded ║ │
│║ as better. "Not Bound To The Evil" and "Like A ║ │
│║ Shadow" drenched in 80s Metal boundaries. ║ │
│║ Andreas Rippelmeier seemed quite capable of ║ │
│║ writing past oriented riffing. There have been ║ │
│║ several signatures of the 80s throughout the ║ │
│║ album, but these songs took me back to the hey ║ │
│║ days more than the others. The latter being a ║ │
│║ catchy speedster with an amazing main riff, a ║ │
│║ mere classic with an incredible lead guitar ║ │
│║ line, but with an even better was the vocal ║ │
│║ line. There you have it, dripping with the right ║ │
│║ volume of Blues, along with an expressional ║ │
│║ version of melodic Heavy and Power Metal, the ║ │
│║ pristine hysteria is delivered and here for your ║ │
│║ receiving and understanding. ║ │
