VIOLENT STORM Storm Warning (2007)
The executive producer is KK Downing from Judas Priest and this disc features guest appearances from Yngwie Malmsteen and Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson Band etc) who also engineers/mixes.
You rather know where this CD is headed with its cracking playing, headbanging, and twiddling goodness. Heavy flamboyant rock from the 80s is what this most reminds you of with riffing and solos aplenty.
The brains behind the band is Mike Cervino ex of Malmsteen's band and Blackmore's Night.
The latter influence can be found on the final track, "Storm," with its medieval guitar interludes. And come on, tell me you can't resist singing along with the track "Deceiver."
The only thing I need to know is when I can see this lot play live. Yeah, the metalcore crowd will think this is lame but you know better.
I enjoyed it beginning to end and that is what matters right?
