│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Now where did I put my black leather jacket? And ║ │
│║ where is my studded belt and buckskin gloves? ║ │
│║ Probably left them back in the 80s, but thinking ║ │
│║ about it, I was born in 1982, after the fury ║ │
│║ already started back in England where NWOBHM ║ │
│║ continued a musical phenomenon that in the 70s ║ │
│║ no one projected, and the world was powerless to ║ │
│║ stop, and it still does, it is called Metal ║ │
│║ music. However nowadays only a few bands really ║ │
│║ had something to say when it comes to the ║ │
│║ revival of NWOBHM. Actually, today this ║ │
│║ tremendous subgenre that reshaped 70s Rock and ║ │
│║ Punk, provided a fine measure of technical ║ │
│║ abilities and elevated singing, is under Swedish ║ │
│║ hands that took away the old British ║ │
│║ superiority. SCREAMER, a rather new Swedish band ║ │
│║ I had the honors to take on their debut album, ║ │
│║ ôAdrenaline Distractionsö, which introduced me ║ │
│║ to their old-fashioned sound and auspicious ║ │
│║ musical direction that led me back decades ago ║ │
│║ when I was little, luckily fell into my lap once ║ │
│║ again with their second release, ôPhoenixö, ║ │
│║ again via High Roller Records, to start 2013 ║ │
│║ with a wicked kind of flash bang encouraged by ║ │
│║ old school Heavy Metal. Just for the first kick, ║ │
│║ I have to add that this baby turned out levels ║ │
│║ up from their debut so you can step right in for ║ │
│║ the next paragraph. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As like plenty of NWOBHM in the past, especially ║ │
│║ those that arose right in the first years of the ║ │
│║ 80s, slowly diminishing the remainders of old ║ │
│║ British Punk in the vein of the PLASMATICS or ║ │
│║ SEX PISTOLS along with a few Rock attributes, ║ │
│║ SCREAMER follows the same criteria and aspects ║ │
│║ such as the insanely classic sound production. ║ │
│║ Straightforward material that consists of ║ │
│║ immensely catchy, yet exceedingly choral ║ │
│║ choruses, crispy sounded guitars bearing vintage ║ │
│║ Metal riffing along with a few Rock prickles, ║ │
│║ absolute beats of steel and rhythm based bass, ║ │
│║ is the key in order to recapture the once ║ │
│║ glorious British moments alÆa IRON MAIDEN, early ║ │
│║ SATAN, TOKYO BLADE, BUDGIE among others and ║ │
│║ trivial UFO and LED ZEPPELIN sways. Song after ║ │
│║ song on ôPhoenixö SCREAMER proved the title, ║ │
│║ rising from the deep sand with a show of ║ │
│║ determination that nearly diminished their debut ║ │
│║ material two years ago. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôNo Sleep 'Til Hamiltonö blasted my face with a ║ │
│║ fine sense of mid tempo Heavy Metal telling the ║ │
│║ story about touring, heading from place to place ║ │
│║ to show a groupÆs worth to play the true music ║ │
│║ and the experience of playing it live. At first ║ │
│║ I thought that it was some tribute to MOTORHEAD ║ │
│║ that hold the title of their live performance ║ │
│║ ôNo Sleep æTil Hammersmithö, yet it came to be ║ │
│║ much more in the picture of a six minute tracks ║ │
│║ of simple crafted Metal with an attractive long ║ │
│║ C part and crazed soloing that made it number ║ │
│║ one. ôDemon Riderö, ôNo Regretsö, ║ │
│║ ôSlavergrinderö, the first three songs, can be ║ │
│║ gauged together as shining highlights as if made ║ │
│║ years ago and forgotten about. Such enthusiasm ║ │
│║ to compose those vintage exemplifications should ║ │
│║ be awarded. ôDemon Riderö is a flash in the ║ │
│║ dark, amazing chorus and a wonderful main riff. ║ │
│║ ôNo Regretsö, like galloping on a horse towards ║ │
│║ the green horizons of the English land, ║ │
│║ perfectly made chorus, great work on the ║ │
│║ thumping skins, clearly a MAIDENish song with no ║ │
│║ regrets. ôSlavegrinderö sprinting in heavy as ║ │
│║ hell, tougher than it gets, providing great ║ │
│║ vocal performance and a crude main riff running ║ │
│║ away evil. ôLady Of The Riverö setting itself as ║ │
│║ a great specimen of the mixture of late 70s Hard ║ │
│║ Rock showing a fine vintage groove along with ║ │
│║ brittle Heavy Metal. At first I was sure it ║ │
│║ would end up being a ZEPPELIN type track but ║ │
│║ rather fast I came to notice that Metal will ║ │
│║ forever rule the day. A truly inspiring song ║ │
│║ filled with an emotive sagacity that is hard to ║ │
│║ shake. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In a nutshell, this is an amazing album that ║ │
│║ every NWOBHM fan should press hard to his / her ║ │
│║ chest, never let go and not ever loose. Surely ║ │
│║ this is one my first candidates for the 2013 top ║ │
│║ crown. ║ │
