In other ║ │ │║ words, Heir Apparent know how to show off their ║ │ │║ abilities while at the same time not forsaking ║ │ │║ good hooks and songwriting. Actually these guys ║ │ │║ ride the fence between what would now be called ║ │ │║ progressive metal and power metal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Crossing The Border" even borders on speed ║ │ │║ metal with it's fast pace and ferocious guitar ║ │ │║ riffs. A big part of the attraction here is ║ │ │║ Steve Benito's phenomenal voice. Some singers, ║ │ │║ when singing and screaming in those high ║ │ │║ falsetto voices sound strained and unnatural. ║ │ │║ Benito, however, sounds as smooth as silk. His ║ │ │║ high Geoff Tate inspired vocals soar over top ║ │ │║ the heavy guitar riffs and pummeling drums. The ║ │ │║ aforementioned "Crossing The Border" is a ║ │ │║ standout cut. "Alone Again" is an emotional ║ │ │║ ballad that fits into the mix quite nicely. "We, ║ │ │║ The People" takes on an almost AOR-like quality ║ │ │║ because of the keys, which are a bit more out ║ │ │║ front here than in other songs. "Screaming" is ║ │ │║ one of my favorite songs with it's infectious ║ │ │║ chorus and mid-paced Queensryche-like metal ║ │ │║ vibe. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ However, there really isn't a bad song on this ║ │ │║ disc. The only song that really sticks out as ║ │ │║ unnecessary is "The Sound Of Silence", which is ║ │ │║ a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic. ║ │ │║ Actually I do like this song as well, but it ║ │ │║ just seems a little out of place on this disc ║ │ │║ sandwiched between two excellent Heir Apparent ║ │ │║ originals. Overall, "One Small Voice" is a solid ║ │ │║ slab of heavy metal that I highly recommend. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lineup: ║ │ │║ Steve Benito - vocals ║ │ │║ Terry Gorle - guitars ║ │ │║ Mike Jackson - keyboards ║ │ │║ Derek Peace - bass ║ │ │║ Ray Schwartz - drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ DISCOGRAPHY ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Demo I & II Demo 1984 ║ │ │║ Graceful Inheritance Full-length 1986 ║ │ │║ Triad 333 Demo 1987 ║ │ │║ Recordings '88 Demo 1988 ║ │ │║ One Small Voice Full-length 1989 ║ │ │║ Demo 1990 Demo 1990 ║ │ │║ Triad Compilation 1999 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Just Imagine [04:34] │ │ 02 - Crossing The Border [03:12] │ │ 03 - Screaming [03:54] │ │ 04 - Alone Again [03:51] │ │ 05 - Cacophony Of Anger [04:12] │ │ 06 - The Sound Of Silence [04:08] │ │ 07 - The Haunting [05:33] │ │ 08 - Two Hearts [05:22] │ │ 09 - We, The People [03:09] │ │ 10 - Young Forever [02:47] │ │ 11 - One Small Voice [06:19] │ │ 12 - Decorated [04:51] │ │ 13 - The Fifth Season [05:47] │ │ 14 - Alone Again [Demo] [03:42] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [61:21 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
