│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Two years after their second release, an eight- ║ │
│║ song, self-titled demo recording, French band ║ │
│║ EXISTANCE return with ôSteel Aliveö, their first ║ │
│║ proper studio album. The band has been active ║ │
│║ since 2008, starting out covering classic Hard ║ │
│║ Rock and Heavy Metal tunes before attracting ║ │
│║ record label attention with their second demo. ║ │
│║ The group signed to Mausoleum Records in January ║ │
│║ of 2014. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôSteel Aliveö is gritty, working manÆs Metal in ║ │
│║ the vein of such late 70Æs / early-80Æs titans ║ │
│║ as JUDAS PRIEST, SAXON, Y&T, and ARMORED SAINT. ║ │
│║ Those names get your attention? While the ║ │
│║ material here may not reach the lofty heights of ║ │
│║ these bandsÆ most classic works, it does sound ║ │
│║ like a record of the caliber that one of these ║ │
│║ bands could have released in their prime years, ║ │
│║ which is definitely a compliment. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ EXISTANCE have the right æfeelÆ very well, for ║ │
│║ sure, and the bandÆs musicianship is great the ║ │
│║ whole way through. Guitarists Antoine Poiret and ║ │
│║ Julian IzardÆs dual-guitar attack sounds full ║ │
│║ and crunchy throughout, and their riffs are ║ │
│║ consistently on-point. Their leads are strong as ║ │
│║ well, never really dazzling but definitely well ║ │
│║ played as well as being conscious of where in ║ │
│║ the song they are putting them. IzardÆs vocals ║ │
│║ are fantastic, and the rhythm section pounds ║ │
│║ away with confidence. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôLegends Never Dieö, the opening track, kicks ║ │
│║ things off with a fast-picked riff thatÆs about ║ │
│║ as Metal as it gets, and really memorable, too. ║ │
│║ The song as a whole, as well as the entire ║ │
│║ album, has this great sense of urgency to it, ║ │
│║ and you can really feel it in this one riff in ║ │
│║ particular, with the drums pounding away in the ║ │
│║ background. ôBlack Viperö is a mid-tempo tune ║ │
│║ that chugs along with more hard-hitting riff and ║ │
│║ another impressive vocal performance from the ║ │
│║ talented Izard. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Things kind of level off with ôDead or Aliveö, ║ │
│║ which boasts one of the better solos on the ║ │
│║ album, but pick back up quickly with the one-two ║ │
│║ combo of ôSlaughterö and ôBurning Angelö. ║ │
│║ ôSlaughterö is another adrenaline-driven, hard- ║ │
│║ hitting offering, while the catchy, more subdued ║ │
│║ ôBurning Angelö wins with its melody and ║ │
│║ powerful riffing. The latter half of the album ║ │
│║ is strong track-to-track in many of the ways ║ │
│║ mentioned above, with standouts including ôGet ║ │
│║ Awayö, ôClose to the Endö, and ôFrom Hellö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Top to bottom, EXISTANCE have put together a ║ │
│║ pretty good debut with ôSteel Aliveö. Their ║ │
│║ songwriting skills show considerable polish, the ║ │
│║ band plays really well, and they keep it heavy ║ │
│║ at all times. There is very little inessential ║ │
│║ material here at all. I would recommend this ║ │
│║ record to any fans of classic Heavy Metal, itÆs ║ │
│║ definitely worth checking out. ║ │
