│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Modern Traditional Heavy Metal frankly hasnÆt ║ │
│║ really changed the rules of the game, but rather ║ │
│║ brought in better polished production and more ║ │
│║ improvisations adding to the overall fun of the ║ │
│║ drill. STEEL RAISER, another old school Heavy ║ │
│║ Metal from Italy bring their debut full length ║ │
│║ ôUnstoppableö and frankly they tick most of the ║ │
│║ boxes for me here. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album hits your face right from the first ║ │
│║ song ôInexorableö and it perfectly exhibits what ║ │
│║ the seasoned musicians are capable of; just the ║ │
│║ perfect old school Power Metal, with Speed Metal ║ │
│║ style riffs, just think about it for a moment! ║ │
│║ Combining solos and Speed Metal riffs, topping ║ │
│║ with the unheard screaming style of Alfonso ║ │
│║ Giordano, the music really stands out and the ║ │
│║ polished production really doesnÆt harm one bit. ║ │
│║ Just like the next song ôDecapitatorö, almost ║ │
│║ every song here is an anthem in itself, and ║ │
│║ really makes you think when was the last time a ║ │
│║ Power Metal band hit so hard and still ║ │
│║ maintained so much beauty in every riff! I have ║ │
│║ been listening to this record for nearly a week ║ │
│║ and I have to tell it still hasnÆt bored me one ║ │
│║ bit, and in fact as I write this review, IÆm ║ │
│║ actually more in this album to like. Surely ║ │
│║ Alfonso Giordano has some of the most insane ║ │
│║ vocal chords the Metal worlds has seen in a long ║ │
│║ time, some of those screams are actually longer ║ │
│║ than the legendary Dio or Bruce DickensonÆs and ║ │
│║ no, I am not over exaggerating. At first I ║ │
│║ thought the long screams were a little over ║ │
│║ done, but no they perfectly blend in with the ║ │
│║ music. The drums have constant tempo to it ║ │
│║ maintaining momentum in songs like ôFast as the ║ │
│║ lightö which is quite a different song than what ║ │
│║ I assumed from the song name. There are shades ║ │
│║ of ACCEPT, DIO, JUDAS PRIEST, but all in all ║ │
│║ STEEL RAISER manages to create their own unique ║ │
│║ sound easily identifiable and also easy on the ║ │
│║ ears for the old school connoisseurs. The ║ │
│║ opening riffs of ôScent of madnessö and ║ │
│║ ôDreaming of youö really can captivate any ║ │
│║ hardened Metal fan giving multiple eargasms and ║ │
│║ loads of nostalgia. The title track ║ │
│║ ôUnstoppableö is pretty cool, but somehow gives ║ │
│║ you a slightly monotonous feel, but definitely ║ │
│║ not a bad song. ôMole Breakerö brings in some ║ │
│║ unforgettable juicy riffs which has been one of ║ │
│║ the hallmarks of this album. ôThe last tearsö ║ │
│║ brings more variety to the table with its ║ │
│║ symphonic sound and melodies, not really what ║ │
│║ you would expect in a Heavy or Speed Metal ║ │
│║ record, but here we got it. The album finishes ║ │
│║ off with a rather pale song ôScent of Madnessö ║ │
│║ though the band tries very hard to make it sound ║ │
│║ like another Epic song, which it individually ║ │
│║ could have been, but with the context of this ║ │
│║ album, the band could have done a bit to bring a ║ │
│║ slightly different sound. But having said that, ║ │
│║ this is still a great sound for all the right ║ │
│║ reasons I love this album so much - riffs and ║ │
│║ vocals. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All in all, STEEL RAISER have hit a sweet spot ║ │
│║ between Heavy + Speed + Steel Metal with ║ │
│║ ôUnstoppableö , releasing this June 26th and ║ │
│║ what we have here is a great piece of art for ║ │
│║ the 3rd full length of the Italian veterans into ║ │
│║ their 10th anniversary next year. This is a must ║ │
│║ pick up fans of aforementioned genres, and I ║ │
│║ must say STEEL RAISER is a band now on my radar ║ │
│║ for future albums. ║ │
