│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As much as I enjoy German power metal, IÆve ║ │
│║ found that lately aside from the always reliable ║ │
│║ Blind Guardian, itÆs been smaller bands ║ │
│║ impressing me much more than the big names. One ║ │
│║ of these bands to impress me most over the past ║ │
│║ few years has been Sinbreed, who made quite the ║ │
│║ impressive debut in 2010 with When Worlds ║ │
│║ Collide, and delivered another very strong album ║ │
│║ in 2014 with Shadows, so when I heard they had a ║ │
│║ new album coming in 2016, it immediately became ║ │
│║ one of my more anticipated early year releases. ║ │
│║ Well, their third release Master Creator is now ║ │
│║ nearing its release date, and I am excited to ║ │
│║ say it not only lives up to previous Sinbreed ║ │
│║ releases, but has already left me more impressed ║ │
│║ than Shadows did. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ThereÆs been only one change in the Sinbreed ║ │
│║ camp in between releases, which is the departure ║ │
│║ of guitarist Marcus Siepen, who left so he could ║ │
│║ focus all his energy on touring with his main ║ │
│║ band Blind Guardian, though his band mate ║ │
│║ Frederic Ehmke remains as the drummer.. For the ║ │
│║ most part, the lineup has seen little change ║ │
│║ since their debut, so itÆs no surprise that ║ │
│║ Master Creator is the same brand of aggressive ║ │
│║ guitar driven power metal with the huge choruses ║ │
│║ that the band has always delivered. Like with ║ │
│║ Shadows, the guitar work occasionally ventures ║ │
│║ into thrash territory, especially on the more ║ │
│║ subdued than normal but still fast ôBehind a ║ │
│║ Maskö and the very fast paced, extra heavy ôThe ║ │
│║ Riddleö, which is one of my personal favorites. ║ │
│║ On the whole, though, I find this album to be a ║ │
│║ little more melodic than Shadows, and it ║ │
│║ features even bigger choruses and more memorable ║ │
│║ vocal melodies than that album had, with Herbie ║ │
│║ Langhans delivering some of his best vocal work ║ │
│║ yet. The majority of the album is very fast ║ │
│║ paced, as fans would expect, and itÆs mostly in ║ │
│║ line with the first two releases, but I find a ║ │
│║ couple tracks to be a bit surprising in a ║ │
│║ positive way, and this helps take the album to ║ │
│║ the next level. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Opening track ôCreation of Realityö is exactly ║ │
│║ what fans would expect. It starts off with a ║ │
│║ nice melody before launching into some heavy ║ │
│║ riffs during the verses, then opening up for ║ │
│║ huge vocal melodies during the chorus, and all ║ │
│║ around it feels like the perfect way to start ║ │
│║ this kind of album, just like ôBleedö from ║ │
│║ Shadows and ôNewborn Tomorrowö from When Worlds ║ │
│║ Collide. The next track ôAcross the Great ║ │
│║ Divideö is even faster paced and more melodic, ║ │
│║ and is another track that plays to the bands ║ │
│║ strengths. Other excellent tracks in the same ║ │
│║ vein are ôMoonlit Nightö, which starts off a bit ║ │
│║ slow and more atmospheric during the verses, ║ │
│║ before picking up big time during the chorus, ║ │
│║ the title track, ôLast Survivorö and ôThe ║ │
│║ Voiceö.None of these tracks are overly ║ │
│║ surprising, but the performances are so strong, ║ │
│║ the production so perfect and the songwriting so ║ │
│║ good that they all instantly stick in the ║ │
│║ listenerÆs head anyway, and provide some ║ │
│║ excellent power metal. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Moving on to the two biggest surprises on the ║ │
│║ album, we start with ôAt the Gate.ö This track ║ │
│║ starts off with just the piano and Herbie, who ║ │
│║ sings in a register that can be described as ║ │
│║ lower than his normal voice but still not quite ║ │
│║ as low or dramatic as his recent guest work for ║ │
│║ Avantasia, before the guitars kick in during the ║ │
│║ second verse and it turns into a really good ║ │
│║ power ballad. This is the biggest surprise on ║ │
│║ the album, because previously the band had ║ │
│║ delivered nothing but up tempo tracks, and had ║ │
│║ certainly never done anything this quiet, but ║ │
│║ they actually pull it off very well and the ║ │
│║ vocals stand out as a major highlight, like ║ │
│║ usual. The other surprise is the closing track ║ │
│║ ôOn the Runö which starts off like a fairly ║ │
│║ typical Sinbreed track, before turning extra ║ │
│║ happy during the chorus, and it has just a ║ │
│║ slightly more epic feeling to it than normal, ║ │
│║ and then towards the end some folk elements are ║ │
│║ added in to give it an even more upbeat feel. ║ │
│║ ItÆs not what I was expecting for the closing ║ │
│║ track, but it leaves with me with a very happy ║ │
│║ feeling and itÆs both my favorite track on the ║ │
│║ album and possibly my favorite Sinbreed song ║ │
│║ ever, so IÆm glad they tried something a bit ║ │
│║ different, and I certainly wonÆt complain if ║ │
│║ they do something similar on future albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Overall, Master Creator is a case of a band ║ │
│║ delivering everything thatÆs expected of them ║ │
│║ and then going just a little bit further, by ║ │
│║ adding in a couple unexpected tracks, making it ║ │
│║ an early year highlight for power metal fans, ║ │
│║ and an album that easily stands up to their ║ │
│║ impressive debut, while at least in my eyes, ║ │
│║ surpassing their previous album. Highly ║ │
│║ recommended for fans of Sinbreed, Blind ║ │
│║ Guardian, and anyone who prefers the more ║ │
│║ aggressive, guitar driven side of power metal. ║ │
