│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Active in their first incarnation from 1981- ║ │
│║ 1986, the resurrection of ItalyÆs GUNFIRE ║ │
│║ occurred in 2001. Finally releasing a debut ║ │
│║ album with 2004Æs ôThunder of Warö, the current ║ │
│║ lineup only has one original member left in ║ │
│║ vocalist Roberto æDrakeÆ Borrelli. So here we ║ │
│║ have before us the follow up full-length in ôAge ║ │
│║ of Supremacyö û and IÆm curious to hear what ║ │
│║ this Power Metal outfit offers their fans in ║ │
│║ 2014. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ At 67 minutes, these 10 tracks contain all the ║ │
│║ requisite hallmarks of Classic Heavy Metal û the ║ │
│║ strong and smart use of double bass, rhythms ║ │
│║ that are spirited and militant in terms of ║ │
│║ power, bass play that is equally impressive as ║ │
│║ well as those multi-part vocal chorus harmonies ║ │
│║ that are necessary for audience participation ║ │
│║ and retention. RobertoÆs range is high caliber, ║ │
│║ impressively hitting high notes easily and stirs ║ │
│║ up memories of Biff Byford and Bruce Dickinson. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As far as the music end of things, GUNFIRE take ║ │
│║ equal cues from ACCEPT, IRON MAIDEN, and SAXON ║ │
│║ come into focus, along with an 80Æs Epic/Power ║ │
│║ element that recalls the early QUEENSRYCHE or ║ │
│║ CRIMSON GLORY years. The average cut on here is ║ │
│║ well over 6 minutes, so expect arrangements that ║ │
│║ contain longer instrumental sections and slower ║ │
│║ build-ups / transitions. There are some ║ │
│║ keyboard/ symphonic elements which aid in ║ │
│║ atmospheric textures. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highlights include ôHammer of Godö where bassist ║ │
│║ Michele Mengoni add an interesting bass tapping ║ │
│║ solo segment amidst the series of up-tempo power ║ │
│║ riffs and great lead /twin guitar action from ║ │
│║ Luca Calo and Marcello Lammoglia and the 10 ║ │
│║ minute plus closer ôExodusö where an a cappella ║ │
│║ introduction gives way to a Power/Doom platform ║ │
│║ that would make JAG PANZER fans very proud, the ║ │
│║ guest female vocals giving Roberto added dynamic ║ │
│║ inspiration and the echoing/ clean mid-section ║ │
│║ another brilliant, driving element to the ║ │
│║ arrangement. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Overall this is very impressive release, ║ │
│║ marrying the feel of the 1980Æs to the ║ │
│║ technology/ production advantages of the current ║ │
│║ scene. GUNFIRE should be very proud of ôAge of ║ │
│║ Supremacyö, as well as all Traditional / Epic ║ │
│║ Metal fans. ║ │
