│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Through I have crossed paths with amazing Heavy ║ │
│║ Metal albums over the last decade that were able ║ │
│║ to shed some light of the Traditional MetalÆs ║ │
│║ situation since its fallout in the mid 90Æs, the ║ │
│║ 80Æs sensation just canÆt seem to be reproduced ║ │
│║ entirely. On the other hand, voices have been ║ │
│║ arguing that we have been under a constant ║ │
│║ revival when it comes to the classic age of ║ │
│║ Metal, meaning the British kind. Truth be told I ║ │
│║ have been a follower of that notion but as I ║ │
│║ mentioned it has been a bitch trying to satisfy ║ │
│║ my hunger for a classic. The British Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ band STORMZONE, hailing from Northern Ireland, ║ │
│║ have already kept my ears busy with their ║ │
│║ earlier discography. I have always found them ║ │
│║ quite nice to listen, true devotees of how ║ │
│║ British Metal should sound, yet that was it. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A few days ago, I received an e-mail from their ║ │
│║ stellar vocalist Harv Harbinson, who introduced ║ │
│║ me to their new album ôSeven Sinsö, via Metal ║ │
│║ Nation Records. I told him that I would ║ │
│║ certainly review it and that it was the next on ║ │
│║ my list. Frankly, I was intrigued to listen to ║ │
│║ what these guys have been up to since ôThree ║ │
│║ Kingsö, an album which I didnÆt review. And ║ │
│║ there I was, sucking the life out of ôSeven ║ │
│║ Sinsö only to reach to a single grand decision; ║ │
│║ STORMZONE just released their best album to ║ │
│║ date, the special kind of brew. I would suggest ║ │
│║ that Newcomer Heavy Metal bands, whether British ║ │
│║ or not, ought take a careful and deep listen to ║ │
│║ this album, inhale its spirit, let the mind ║ │
│║ compute and then head on their way to create ║ │
│║ their Metal. As I was saying, twice, it has been ║ │
│║ hard to re-experience the energies of the 80Æs, ║ │
│║ but at least for now, in 2015, STORMZONE were ║ │
│║ able to fulfill some of that hunger deep inside. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Too much of an intro there, yet I couldnÆt stop ║ │
│║ myself so please excuse me. So, ôSeven Sinsö, a ║ │
│║ thin red line between what is IRON MAIDEN, ║ │
│║ regarding to its twin guitaring harmonies and ║ │
│║ rhythmic artistry, and what is considered to ║ │
│║ SAXON, thick layered rhythm guitaring mostly ║ │
│║ simplified and straight on vocals of the British ║ │
│║ brand. Certainly, I found this record to be of ║ │
│║ the top notch mixtures between these gods of ║ │
│║ Metal. STORMZONE added their stratum of ║ │
│║ blistering catchiness; every piece of chorus, ║ │
│║ even the fiercer ones, is worth writing home ║ │
│║ about. CanÆt really call those crowd pleasers, ║ │
│║ however, it would be hard to avoid the strong ║ │
│║ inspiration of the melodic vocal layers that ║ │
│║ dominated, Harbinson undoubtedly rocked it. ║ │
│║ Moreover, as a notable fan of simplistic rhythm ║ │
│║ guitar riffs, I was filled with utmost joy ║ │
│║ listening to such creations as ôAnother Rainy ║ │
│║ Nightö, swiftly parading with 80Æs oriented ║ │
│║ riffing almost Hard Rock in nature. The darker ║ │
│║ image of ôSeven Sinsö also produced a pitch of ║ │
│║ low tuned riffs that asserted the heaviness ║ │
│║ level of the release. ôRaise The Knifeö and the ║ │
│║ galloping ôSpecial Brewö announced their ║ │
│║ presence with nostalgia of the old days. If I ║ │
│║ wanted explosive soloing, I turned up ôYour Time ║ │
│║ Has Comeö, ôI Know Your Painö and ôMaster Of ║ │
│║ Sorrowö, simply endless combustion of lead ║ │
│║ guitaring. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ STORMZONE demonstrated that without the ║ │
│║ manifestation of mighty technical material, ║ │
│║ there is that awesome chance to win a true ║ │
│║ MetalheadÆs heart. The materialÆs ║ │
│║ straightforward basis enabled the guys to create ║ │
│║ tunes that would strengthen the revival of ║ │
│║ NWOBHM in a current sound setting. I would ║ │
│║ nominate this one as one of my top for 2015. ║ │
│║ Even though there is a long way to go, and ║ │
│║ nobody is perfect, this is a piece of Heavy ║ │
│║ Metal that I wouldnÆt want to miss if I were ║ │
│║ you. ║ │
