So many ║ │ │║ acts that had moments in the 1980's are flying ║ │ │║ in to bomb the scene with intent again and here ║ │ │║ we have DEEP MACHINE. Now you could be forgiven ║ │ │║ for thinking all of these band have been ║ │ │║ dormant, for all this time, some have (SATAN / ║ │ │║ VARDIS) and some have not (DIAMOND HEAD / ║ │ │║ AVENGER) but here we are looking at the new, ║ │ │║ first full length, album from DEEP MACHINE. They ║ │ │║ claim they survived the NWOBHM and without a ║ │ │║ deal as they were born in 1979 but except for ║ │ │║ the odd EP the 'deal' eluded them, but here to ║ │ │║ make up for that is ''Rise Of The Machine''. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ They have respectable connective tissueàmembers ║ │ │║ being associated with Paul Di'Anno and his ║ │ │║ LONEWOLF project, ANGELWITCH main brain Kevin ║ │ │║ Heybourne joining for a spell and even TOKYO ║ │ │║ BLADE are connected here. So with all that in ║ │ │║ mindàthey have some pretty cool credit on their ║ │ │║ sideàbut what of the groovesàwhat is in their? ║ │ │║ Let's march on to WAR. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ 9 tracks and opening up is ôThe Wizardö, ║ │ │║ thinking BLACK SABBATH? Well they were heavily ║ │ │║ influenced by IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST ║ │ │║ (Early) and you can hear bit of both without ║ │ │║ doubtàbut no SABBATH there. Yes I know lots of ║ │ │║ bands from the day had all that going on but ║ │ │║ some fought for their own individuality, while ║ │ │║ some were quite content to 'sound alike'. ôThe ║ │ │║ Gatheringö, ôI am everythingö, a monstrous voice ║ │ │║ tells us, and then a cook riff with nice ║ │ │║ harmony, feeling nicely PRIEST, cool atmosphere, ║ │ │║ and feel, although old school of course, I think ║ │ │║ the music is more contemporary Metal in parts, ║ │ │║ whereas the vocals are where the dating comes in ║ │ │║ phrasing and lyrically this is the 80's again, ║ │ │║ for good or bad. ôThe Gladiatorö comes thumping ║ │ │║ in with a ôLove It Loudö drums pattern, some ║ │ │║ ôUnitedö touches too, going be a big old cloud ║ │ │║ clapper, chanter here. Well no huge 'all sing' ║ │ │║ chorus, but touched of the old Biff and SAXON as ║ │ │║ well and as a bonus, cool solo to boot. ║ │ │║ ôWarheadö comes next but unlike the ugliness and ║ │ │║ power of VENOM, this is cleaner and crisp, nice ║ │ │║ upbeat pace track, reminds me of a few bands ║ │ │║ actually. They shows they have been playing for ║ │ │║ a while that is for sure, performances is ║ │ │║ confident, production is clear and balanced. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Ah ôBlack Priestessö and a touch of acoustic ║ │ │║ into, some DIO-esque vocal shaping of Heavy ║ │ │║ Metal, you are so good to us lol, they even ║ │ │║ mention Satan and then it has a MAIDEN shape as ║ │ │║ well and man, it could be ANGELWITCH just ║ │ │║ missing Kev's voice. A cool song. Now ôHell ║ │ │║ Forestö, fuck yeah it is and it happily bounces ║ │ │║ along with classic rhythm pattern, a shout goes ║ │ │║ out ôHell Forestö, no one knows your name, and ║ │ │║ to be fair why would they unless it was ║ │ │║ something like Jeff or David and they took a ║ │ │║ wild guess. ôWitchildö, the son of the devil, ah ║ │ │║ yes, this is probably the heaviest track yet, ║ │ │║ darker, I like this and it has a chant chorus ║ │ │║ for you too, so you get a shot at helping out ║ │ │║ too, bit of old wah wah and a tremolo dive as ║ │ │║ well, all has to be good with the world then. ║ │ │║ ôCelebrophileö, doesn't need too much ║ │ │║ explaining, I mean you can guess the lyrical ║ │ │║ direction right? Fame and parasitesàand well, ║ │ │║ bollox to be exact, X factor, bottom feeding, or ║ │ │║ needy people, a good old rocking beat and again ║ │ │║ some cool riffage going on, this band is very ║ │ │║ solid, so we draw to a close on DEEP MACHINE and ║ │ │║ there, well debut album, wow that is mad, 1979 û ║ │ │║ 2014, friggin A!!! lolà ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôWhispers In The Blackö and it starts with a ║ │ │║ whisper and opens like MAIDEN before becoming ║ │ │║ PRIEST, if they wanted a calling card, something ║ │ │║ to say this is who we are, then this track sums ║ │ │║ them up, classic. I would have said retro but ║ │ │║ these days not so good luck guys and Keep It ║ │ │║ Trueà.lolàyes I aid thatàokàwell if you don't ║ │ │║ already knowàthey just played, the masterful ║ │ │║ Keep It True Festival in Germany and did a great ║ │ │║ show. So let's have another album guys and this ║ │ │║ time and not in 35 fucking years later? I'll be ║ │ │║ fucking dead. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lineup: ║ │ │║ Lenny Baxter û Vocals ║ │ │║ Chas Towler- Drums ║ │ │║ John Riley û Bass / Backing Vocals ║ │ │║ Bob Hooker û Guitar / Backing Vocals ║ │ │║ Beastie û Guitar / Backing Vocals ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - The Wizard [03:12] │ │ 02 - The Gathering [04:53] │ │ 03 - The Gladiator [06:01] │ │ 04 - Warhead [03:52] │ │ 05 - Black Priestess [04:57] │ │ 06 - Hell Forest [03:30] │ │ 07 - Witchild [02:56] │ │ 08 - Celebrophile [04:50] │ │ 09 - Killer [03:04] │ │ 10 - Whispers In The Black [04:10] │ │ 11 - Iron Cross [04:24] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [45:49 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
