│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ REAPER is a German Heavy Metal Band founded in ║ │
│║ 1984. To mark the 30th anniversary of the band, ║ │
│║ they have released new material hereàa twelve ║ │
│║ track album entitled ôAn Atheist Monument.ö The ║ │
│║ opening instrumental, ôHetoimasia,ö has a ║ │
│║ sinister quality, hinting at things that go bump ║ │
│║ in the night. ôRealms of Chaosö is a pretty ║ │
│║ straightforward mid-temp song, with fairly ║ │
│║ traditional Heavy Metal brie. Vocally, Daniel ║ │
│║ has a low register, harsh vocal style, giving ║ │
│║ the music a dark and evil sound to it. ôOf Sheep ║ │
│║ and Shepardsö continues in this vein, with a ║ │
│║ very classic sound to it. It reminds me of a ║ │
│║ soldier on a galloping horse, swinging his blade ║ │
│║ left and right as he rides through the opposing ║ │
│║ army. ôHorse Brigadeö is another mid-tempo, ║ │
│║ classic sounding Metal song. They arenÆt trying ║ │
│║ to re-invent the genre here, but there isnÆt a ║ │
│║ lot in the way of variation. ôHail the New Ageö ║ │
│║ brings a bit more of the same, though there are ║ │
│║ some moments of accentuation, especially with ║ │
│║ the chorus. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôVoice Withinö kicks it with a little more ║ │
│║ grind, girth and purpose, while ô1943ö is more ║ │
│║ like a battle hymn, with a nice little lead ║ │
│║ guitar melody to open the track, and a swift ║ │
│║ pace that brings a higher vocal range, and a ║ │
│║ nice contrasting harmony between guitar and ║ │
│║ voice. ôWell of Poisonö opens acoustically, and ║ │
│║ builds some suspense, before settling into a ║ │
│║ song based on an exchange of major chords, ║ │
│║ giving it an almost ôPower Metalö sound. A ║ │
│║ shredding guitar solo reminds listeners that ║ │
│║ instrumental prowess is not missing here. ôTaste ║ │
│║ My Revengeö is a strong song, with an ACCEPT ║ │
│║ quality to it. Tasting revenge is exactly what ║ │
│║ this track exudes. ôShip of Foolsö reminds me of ║ │
│║ early SAXON and the like. Here the vocals take ║ │
│║ the driverÆs seat. ôFields of Joyö is a faster ║ │
│║ song, featuring shredding guitar rhythms and at ║ │
│║ times, double bass drumming. There is a nice ║ │
│║ brooding haste to the track, and a welcomed ║ │
│║ interlude to break up the main riff. This might ║ │
│║ be the best track on the album in this ║ │
│║ reviewerÆs opinion. Closing the album is ôLa ║ │
│║ Tristesse.ö ItÆs a slow, gut wrenching exercise, ║ │
│║ complete with lamentation. Overall, this is very ║ │
│║ classic sounding, easy listening Heavy Metal, ║ │
│║ with a focus on mid-tempo, riff driven music, ║ │
│║ delivered in a very standard style. ║ │
│║ Unfortunately it makes a lot of the music run ║ │
│║ together, and doesnÆt make for a lot of ║ │
│║ memorable moments. ║ │
