Lion Music\/Border<\/p>\n
British traditionalists VENDETTA set out on their second quest for world domination. Their debut was a scorcher, so I guess I have high expectations. New grooves, more complexity and even sampled dialogue is said to be new elements since last time. Let\u00b4s check it out.<\/p>\n
Guitarist Edward Box has been in the business as a solo artist, but still he opts for an intro with little or no significance on the album. I guess I am a bit frustrated about the new features in the music. But for starters \u201cVeil of Empathy\u201d has a familiar ring to the riff but the somewhat odd idea of mixing touches of U2 with the rather familiar IRON MAIDEN riffage is a concept that will work 20 years from now too. A bit of a hit that is followed closely by the faster and more straightforward \u201cBlast Radius\u201d and the obligatory typical Northern England styled \u201cWe Are Legion\u201d. The rest of the album has slight up and downs and traces of Zakk (the riff in \u201cMachtpolitik\u201d), catchiness (\u201cThe Ghost Inside\u201d) and the slightly inferior NWOBHM devotee \u201cLords of Chaos\u201d. On the other side there is the tediousness of \u201cAll Your Setting Suns\u201d and the lack of spark in \u201cFragmented Reality\u201d. This may be a good enough album, but after the debut I was hoping for more.<\/p>\n
