It is ║ │ │║ a concept album based on a horror story and this ║ │ │║ is the first part. I own some of their albums, ║ │ │║ but somehow they never became one of my favorite ║ │ │║ power metal bands. The first reason for that was ║ │ │║ that their songs were quite difficult and a bit ║ │ │║ hectic to really stick in my head. The second ║ │ │║ reason are the vocals of Lars F. Larsen, which ║ │ │║ never could really convince me. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So I was very curious about the new album and I ║ │ │║ must say that this is their best so far. Still ║ │ │║ Larsen is the lead singer and like on all the ║ │ │║ other albums he sings too high on the biggest ║ │ │║ part of the songs. It sounds as if he sings ║ │ │║ above his reach all the time, but after a while ║ │ │║ I get used to it a little bit. Perhaps he could ║ │ │║ try just to sing a bit lower on the next album. ║ │ │║ The music however is great! After a classic ║ │ │║ piano part originally played by Tchaikovsky, the ║ │ │║ album opens with an aggressive fast ║ │ │║ powermetal/thrash piece that immediately sets ║ │ │║ the standard for the rest of the album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The album has a perfect production and a heavy ║ │ │║ sound done by Jacob Hansen. Besides the high ║ │ │║ singing parts there are some low grunts as well ║ │ │║ to make the first song even heavier. The next ║ │ │║ one sets of in speed metal tempo and has fine ║ │ │║ mid-tempo riffs with a nice groove. Lars doesnÆt ║ │ │║ sing that high all the time and then the pieces ║ │ │║ all fall together. In general the tracks are ║ │ │║ rather fast, heavy and long. To support the ║ │ │║ concept the music has some bombastic and ║ │ │║ theatrical elements as well. The songs need a ║ │ │║ few more spins to blossom because they are a bit ║ │ │║ complicated at times and have a progressive ║ │ │║ touch. The ballad æNothing Lasts ForeverÆ is the ║ │ │║ only calm track on To Kill To Live To Kill. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Danish band Manticora made their fastest, ║ │ │║ heaviest and most interesting album to date. If ║ │ │║ you can get used to the singing style, it will ║ │ │║ be an almost perfect album for you and you can ║ │ │║ sure add one devil. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Reinier de Vries for ║ │ │║ www.powerofmetal.dk ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lars F.
