Lord Volture\/Rock\u00b4n\u00b4Growl<\/p>\n
Dutch US power metal affictionados LORD VOLTURE set out to play as if they were not from Holland. Second album from LORD VOLTURE aims at repeating or beating the many fine reviews of their prima opus \u201cBeast of Thunder\u201d (2010). The band consists of vocalist David Marcelis, guitarists Paul Marcelis and Leon Hermans, bass man Simon Geurts, and drummer Frank Wintermans. Guests on the album are Sean Peck of CAGE fame, Mark Bogert, the \u201cDutch STEVE VAI\u201d and background vocalists Sinem Cangir, Yuma van Eekelen and Bart Hennephof. Let\u00b4s see why this lot aren\u00b4t signed\u2026<\/p>\n
The opening title track reveals not why they are not with a big record company. The refrain is great and the dynamics of the thumping bass line is quite impressive. The next track, \u201cTaiga\u201d, is perhaps more ominous why. The spark simply isn\u00b4t there in spite of a fine structure, and the songs tales a good two minutes to get into gear. LORD VOLTURE also has a penchant for operating in the seven minute plus territory, which is more than their song ideas can take. But they succeed in songs like \u201cKorgon\u00b4s Descent\u201d, \u201cNecro nation\u201d and \u201cThe Wolf at Your Door\u201d. The final touch, the illusive \u201cit\u201d in the music business is lacking, but their strongest moments are good enough to get them fans. Unfortunately the US concept has always lacked in the refrain department, and the song ideas are too basic to become concepts that will be up there with e.g. VICIOUS RUMORS. The main low point of the album is the odd \u201cBrother\u201d. It\u00b4s an acoustic piece, with vocals that grows in intensity and the strain on David\u00b4s vocals is apparent. Yet the guitars continue in lighter waving friendly pace, making the idea fail. Still, quite decent, but in need of some re-thinking\u2026or this is their swan song. <\/p>\n
