│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Hailing from Portugal and together since 2013, ║ │
│║ LyzzΣrd (because umlauts are uber-cool) arrive ║ │
│║ on the scene with their debut full-length record ║ │
│║ in Savage. Going in blind without preconceived ║ │
│║ notions allows the listener to look at basic ║ │
│║ principles and become hopeful in collective ║ │
│║ execution û as a band wants to make a strong ║ │
│║ first impression. These nine original songs ║ │
│║ (plus surprise closing cover) display a quintet ║ │
│║ living for the 1980Æs traditional metal scene, ║ │
│║ fueling their musical hooks with high pitched ║ │
│║ screams/melodies, bursts of speed, and of course ║ │
│║ loads of licks/riffs that necessitate air guitar ║ │
│║ or devil horns salutes. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Thunderstorms rumble and distant chopper/sirens ║ │
│║ wail for the start of ôNightwatcherö, the ║ │
│║ guitar/rhythm section introduction reminiscent ║ │
│║ of W.A.S.P. circa ôWild Childö before the ║ │
│║ energetic riff burst and lead gallops make you ║ │
│║ think you are back into early 80Æs Ozzy against ║ │
│║ early US metal. The guitars and double bass ║ │
│║ supplementation can often steer LyzzΣrd into the ║ │
│║ semi-thrash vein as well, offering up a more ║ │
│║ melodic Metallica feel for ôHeavier Than Lifeö, ║ │
│║ the stutter step transitions a pleasant surprise ║ │
│║ while the vocals possess that road racinÆ ║ │
│║ propensity. ItÆs obvious that guitarists Ricardo ║ │
│║ Azevedo and Tiago Tedim love their NWOBHM action ║ │
│║ in terms of harmonies, steamroller rhythm work, ║ │
│║ and bluesy/fiery lead combinations û making ║ │
│║ ôFireö and the Accept-esque ôLiving in the Dawnö ║ │
│║ a study in contrasts that showcases all facets ║ │
│║ of their hook-oriented, spot on axe play that ║ │
│║ keeps interest in the next section on point. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As a singer, Tiago Azevedo has a mid-range to ║ │
│║ upper register delivery, tolerable but can be a ║ │
│║ tad monotonous at times. ItÆs almost more well- ║ │
│║ suited to an 80Æs Sunset Strip act, where if ║ │
│║ calling the shots this scribe was hopeful for ║ │
│║ some Halford/Dickinson-esque belting. When you ║ │
│║ hear the closing section of ôQueen of Vengeanceö ║ │
│║ for instance, the way he holds out æQueenÆ need ║ │
│║ a little more beef, while his varied approach ║ │
│║ during ôSurvivorö favors his personality better. ║ │
│║ And as for a cover, instead of tackling a known ║ │
│║ metal classic, LyzzΣrd decide to metalize the ║ │
│║ Flashdance soundtrack hit ôManiacö, originally ║ │
│║ done by Michael Sembello. Shining in the ║ │
│║ instrumental section where the bandÆs chops are ║ │
│║ on high, itÆs a serviceable version that will ║ │
│║ probably get the 80Æs mavens singing along to ║ │
│║ the chorus. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Savage puts LyzzΣrd in that new traditional ║ │
│║ breed of potential, but not quite at the ║ │
│║ Striker/Enforcer caliber of awe. ║ │
