│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I would not have thought in my wildest dreams ║ │
│║ about a comeback from German speed metaliacs ║ │
│║ Scanner. The band from Gelsenkirchen, Germany ║ │
│║ had two pretty good records in the end of the ║ │
│║ 80's. In 2002 their latest record "Scantropolis" ║ │
│║ was published before the band disbanded. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And now the unforeseen new album "The judgement" ║ │
│║ is now in the starting blocks; waiting to be ║ │
│║ released during January via Massacre Records. It ║ │
│║ is a bit of the same question as it was with the ║ │
│║ new Stormwitch longplayer: What to expect? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Compared to the guys from Swabia, Scanner's "The ║ │
│║ judgement" became a real surprise. The new ║ │
│║ record contains 10, mainly fast, power metal ║ │
│║ anthems and one intro. The sound of the album is ║ │
│║ powerful and the big gain is singer Efthimios ║ │
│║ Ionnidis. His voice fits very good to the German ║ │
│║ speed metal from Scanner and he is doing a great ║ │
│║ job. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But also the riffs of bandleader Axel Julius are ║ │
│║ remarkable. One of those is the base for the ║ │
│║ heavy "Warlord". The song has an enormous punch ║ │
│║ and the high vocals of Ionnidis remind to old ║ │
│║ days in power metal. "Warlord" is a definite ║ │
│║ highlight on the album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Looking back on "Hypertrace, the debut, and ║ │
│║ "Terminal earth", Scanner was known for their ║ │
│║ outer space passion. This comes back in ║ │
│║ "Eutopia", which is a mid pace rocker that ║ │
│║ grooves very well. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Looking on the seven minutes of "Battle of ║ │
│║ Posedon" you might expect an epical metal ║ │
│║ anthem. But Scanner pushes the pedal to the ║ │
│║ metal and here and there the early Helloween is ║ │
│║ shining through. This was actually a thought I ║ │
│║ had a few times while listening to the album. ║ │
│║ Scanner brings back this typical German speed ║ │
│║ metal from the 80's. Listen to "The race" and ║ │
│║ you know what I mean. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ That Scanner can also reduce the pace without ║ │
│║ losing the heaviness is what they show with ║ │
│║ "Known better". It's a slower track that has an ║ │
│║ gloomy chorus and the riff reminds very much to ║ │
│║ Dream Theater. Pretty cool stuff. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "The judgement" was a big surprise to me. ║ │
│║ Scanner added an album to their discography that ║ │
│║ at least can live up to the first two records of ║ │
│║ the band. I personally think, that it's even ║ │
│║ their best one so far. Welcome back. ║ │
