Massacre\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Austrian Old School thrash\/power metal quartet GARAGEDAYS release their eagerly promoted debut. Marco Kern, guitars\/vocals, founded GARAGEDAYS in 2005. Many lineups later he was surrounded by lead guitarist Rene Auer, bass player Dominik Eder and drummer Matthias Mai. The band has issued a demo, \u201cWild and Dangerous\u201d, before making two albums; \u201cSight of the Blind\u201d and \u201cDark and Cold\u201d. The latter has been chosen as their Massacre Records debut. <\/p>\n
After opener \u201cLast Breath\u201d I was a happy reviewer. Imagine that it took four Austrians to follow up on METALLICA`S success\u2026and about 25 years. The following six tracks are also pleasant, but not quite in the same division. The mix of acoustic and gentle electric guitars is used in \u201cFather\u201d, \u201cFour\u201d and \u201cConscience\u201d. A concept that has served many well over the years, but it doesn\u00b4t have quite the edge that is required to break a new band. \u201cBlow Away\u201d might be something of what made METALLICA big, and \u201cI\u00b4m Your Hate\u201d might be close to MEGADETH, but close is all that GARAGEDAYS musters this time around. The second part of the album is by far the least good. The foremost oddity is represented by the oddly short, or overlong, depending on which way you see it, \u201cBlack Bridges\u201d. It\u00b4s marred by gloom and shrieks, and a strangely muffled guitar sound. The title track is also lacking, this time in the refrain department. It is too repetitive, and feels recycled from the glory days. GARAGEDAYS may well have the best motifs and intentions, but this is simply not enough to go places\u2026not this time around. <\/p>\n
