Was George Orwell right? Has the big ║ │ │║ brother been watching over without us know, as ║ │ │║ if we were citizens in a global silent ║ │ │║ dictatorship? And what about the social ║ │ │║ networks, are those enough to be considered as ║ │ │║ the beginning of a certain end to our healthy ║ │ │║ minds? Too many questions and plenty of answers, ║ │ │║ maybe some would be left in the air for sure. ║ │ │║ Possibly the only thing left is tell about it, ║ │ │║ warn the commonwealth of probably future's ║ │ │║ dangers and hazards. Under the veil of melodic ║ │ │║ Metal, the Bavarian POWERWORLD created various ║ │ │║ perceptions of the future to come. Several views ║ │ │║ have been seen in movies over the years, others ║ │ │║ have been preserved for impending use, maybe to ║ │ │║ write songs about. POWERWORLD created the next ║ │ │║ revolutionary hysteria of the cyber world with ║ │ │║ their brand new album, "Cybersteria", via SPV / ║ │ │║ Steamhammer Records. Nothing too innovative ║ │ │║ musically, but this album, as the previous ║ │ │║ before it, is enough to encourage the listener ║ │ │║ to appreciate the band's profound talents for ║ │ │║ their version of Heavy Metal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Cybersteria", as the band's new album, served ║ │ │║ also a cornerstone for the change the engulfed ║ │ │║ the group. In 2011, after suffering from a ║ │ │║ continuous illness and bad health, the band's ║ │ │║ previous vocalist, Andrew McDermott, died. David ║ │ │║ Reece, known from his single work with ACCEPT ║ │ │║ and a constant member of BANGALORE CHOIR, ║ │ │║ stepped in as a replacement. Yet for the reason ║ │ │║ of musical differences, the ex-JADED HEART ║ │ │║ Bluesy voice of Michael Bormann, took charge of ║ │ │║ the vocal recordings. Furthermore, Guitarists, ║ │ │║ Andreas Rippelmeier (HEAVENWARD) substituting ║ │ │║ for Barish Kepic, and Keyboards players, Marco ║ │ │║ Grasshoff coming in for Nils Neumann, were ║ │ │║ replaced for the recording, possibly as new band ║ │ │║ members under the leadership of bassist, Ilker ║ │ │║ Ersin. In comparison to the previous "Human ║ │ │║ Parasite", this has been quite an uplifting ║ │ │║ experience, as this unified group generated a ║ │ │║ decisive, partly intricate and complex, ║ │ │║ concoction of Euro melodic, but heavy duty, ║ │ │║ Heavy Metal in range of ACCEPT or VICTORY, ║ │ │║ Bluesy furbished Hard Rock of whether 70s DEEP ║ │ │║ PURPLE and 80s WHITESNAKE, aside to a variety of ║ │ │║ Power Metal attributes of STRATOVARIUS and ║ │ │║ darkened features of EVERGREY. Not what I would ║ │ │║ call an explicit musical skirmish, but surly ║ │ │║ this particular one is a fresh air in a cool ║ │ │║ summer night. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Cybersteria" enabled smooth catchiness just as ║ │ │║ the previous release, yet the dimmer veil that ║ │ │║ hovered above of the Blues created an atmosphere ║ │ │║ of something that might resemble sorrowfulness ║ │ │║ and emotional distress. One might also notice ║ │ │║ fear, especially within the theme of the lyrics, ║ │ │║ and Bormann's raspy tone of Jorn meets Coverdale ║ │ │║ tone of voice seemed to be the right choice to ║ │ │║ go along with. The album's rising star, "Coast ║ │ │║ Of Tears", is an aching, hooking, slow to mid ║ │ │║ tempo rumpus of emotional distress, a slight ║ │ │║ murky, powerful riffing and impressive vocals, ║ │ │║ reminded me a bit of EVERGREY but with a bleak ║ │ │║ PURPLE aloofness. "Back On Me" seemed endless at ║ │ │║ first, but ended up being highly articulate and ║ │ │║ melodic. Similar to "Human Parasite", POWERWORLD ║ │ │║ remained modernly produced in terms of sound, ║ │ │║ but for songs such as this one, nothing sounded ║ │ │║ as better. "Not Bound To The Evil" and "Like A ║ │ │║ Shadow" drenched in 80s Metal boundaries. ║ │ │║ Andreas Rippelmeier seemed quite capable of ║ │ │║ writing past oriented riffing. There have been ║ │ │║ several signatures of the 80s throughout the ║ │ │║ album, but these songs took me back to the hey ║ │ │║ days more than the others. The latter being a ║ │ │║ catchy speedster with an amazing main riff, a ║ │ │║ mere classic with an incredible lead guitar ║ │ │║ line, but with an even better was the vocal ║ │ │║ line. There you have it, dripping with the right ║ │ │║ volume of Blues, along with an expressional ║ │ │║ version of melodic Heavy and Power Metal, the ║ │ │║ pristine hysteria is delivered and here for your ║ │ │║ receiving and understanding. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Michael Bormann - Vocals ║ │ │║ Ilker Ersin - Bass ║ │ │║ Guido Gallus - Drums ║ │ │║ Andreas Rippelmeier - Guitars ║ │ │║ Marco Grasshoff - Keyboards ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Children Of The Universe [06:46] │ │ 02 - Slave To The Powerworld [03:37] │ │ 03 - Back On Me [05:49] │ │ 04 - World Knows Your Secrets [05:22] │ │ 05 - You Gotta Hold On [05:06] │ │ 06 - Am I Digital?
