│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Heaven's Trail is a new band created by ║ │
│║ guitarist Barish Kepic, formerly of Jaded Heart, ║ │
│║ Powerworld, and Evidence One. His band features ║ │
│║ notable German rock and metal musicians, ║ │
│║ including Rick Altzi from Masterplan on vocals. ║ │
│║ Kepic and Heaven's Trail drop their debut album ║ │
│║ Lethal Mind for UK's Escape Music label. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This review will be brief, or at the very least, ║ │
│║ I will attempt to make it so, with the reason ║ │
│║ quickly forthcoming. Fundamentally, with ║ │
│║ guitarist Kepic in charge, Heaven's Trail plays ║ │
│║ guitar-centered melodic heavy metal rock. In his ║ │
│║ songwriting and arrangements, most every song ║ │
│║ has some familiar suspects: sharp riffs and a ║ │
│║ heavy bottom end for a metal edge, an abundance ║ │
│║ of rock rhythm and groove, and then all these ║ │
│║ things leading to Kepic ripping off some dandy ║ │
│║ guitar solos. Additionally, most all songs are ║ │
│║ wrapped in acceptable melodies and memorable ║ │
│║ refrains. And that's all good. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The wild card here for me was the vocals. As ║ │
│║ usual, I listened to the music before I read the ║ │
│║ press one-sheet. I do this simply because I ║ │
│║ don't want to do the first with preconceived ║ │
│║ expectations. But with my first spin of Lethal ║ │
│║ Mind, I had two reactions. First, I did not like ║ │
│║ the raspy sore throat vocals. Second, I thought ║ │
│║ I recognized the voice, but couldn't put my ║ │
│║ finger on the singer. On to the label's one- ║ │
│║ sheet and there was Rick Altzi. I'm just not a ║ │
│║ fan. While others may appreciate his style, even ║ │
│║ if the music may be terrific, I find myself ║ │
│║ suffering through his vocal presence. Needless ║ │
│║ to say, I found the songwriting and melodic ║ │
│║ heavy metal rock of Heaven's Trail impressive ║ │
│║ and enjoyable, but the vocals not so much. It's ║ │
│║ up to you to decide where your interest lies. ║ │
