Sicilian band STEEL RAISER first showed themselves in 2008 with their debut \u201cRace of Steel\u201d in 2008. They have an obvious love of classic powerful heavy metal, and the info sheet mentions JUDAS PRIEST\u00b4s \u201cPainkiller\u201d. Vocalist Alfonso Giordano is described as a mix of Rob Halford, Udo Dirkschneider and David Wayne (METAL CHURCH, REVEREND). We all know what to expect\u2026<\/p>\n
Opner \u201cCyberlazer\u201d displays a band going full-throttle with a most ok track, reminiscent of NWOBHM band BLITZKRIEG. They go for a further dose of the UK with \u201cFinalizer\u201d, but end up less successful than with the opener. What surprises me is that the iron vocalist that the info speaks about seems to be in a bit of problems with tracks like \u201cMetal Maniac\u201d and \u201cThe Executioner\u201d. More positive to speak of \u201cMagic Circle\u201d, a track that suits a band like this and builds up the right steam. Alas \u201cThe Executioner\u201d, a great blend of SATAN and KING DIAMOND limps a bit on the vocal side and falls short. Oddly enough it seems mid-paced songs like \u201cWings of the Abyss\u201d and \u201cChains of Hate\u201d seem more adapted to the band than the heavy metal thunder mentioned in less well-executed songs. Still STEEL RAISER do quite alright for themselves\u2026but with a young Brian Ross at the helm they would have been far more convincing!<\/p>\n
