CROSSROADS guitar duo Christian St\u00f6ver and Stefan Ellerhorst the band do their take on fans of DIO and JUDAS PRIEST. Not an easy task, but an area that needs an addition or two these days. Are this lot of the right caliber? <\/p>\n<p>The odd and the well-known goes side by side in opener \u201cTomorrow Never Comes\u201d. There is some ZAKK WYLDE in the riff, in all oddity, as well as a good refrain. There are actually better openers around, but it is not a bad choice. It is not of the same excellence as the \u201cI Speed at Night-influenced\u201d \u201cCalm Before the Storm\u201d or the DOKKEN-esque \u201cWe Are the Weak\u201d. The DIO worship in tracks like the abovementioned, or the DIO-feel in the lyrics of the less smashing \u201cCaught in a Dream\u201d is coupled with the Teutonic feel in the polka speed of \u201cDown to Nowhere\u201d. I nebver thought I\u00b4d say this but it works. They do a heavy interpretation of MAGNUM in the melodic \u201cReach Out\u201d, a mix that I have been waiting for to happen. Closing track \u201cLove Will Remain\u201d feels like a combination of DIO and THE POODLES, of all odd mixes. But it works very well. The riffs are not as straightforward as you might be used to, but Christian and Stefan make it all work out fine. This album is what you are looking for to satisfy your needs of heavy metal the eighties way, but in many ways not. No matter how odd it sounds I highly recommend this. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nTomorrow Never Comes<br \/>\nCalm Before the Storm<br \/>\nPretty Little Mess<br \/>\nCaught in a Dream<br \/>\nThrough the Dawn<br \/>\nBrace for Impact<br \/>\nWe Are the Weak<br \/>\nDown to Nowhere<br \/>\nPray to Your God<br \/>\nReach Out<br \/>\nThe Answer<br \/>\nWill Love Remain<\/p>\n<p>www.massacre-records.com www.myspace.com\/559496415<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massacre\/Sound Pollution German\/Italian vehicle LOVE.MIGHT.KILL debuts with their classically tinged debut.
