And ║ │ │║ where is my studded belt and buckskin gloves? ║ │ │║ Probably left them back in the 80s, but thinking ║ │ │║ about it, I was born in 1982, after the fury ║ │ │║ already started back in England where NWOBHM ║ │ │║ continued a musical phenomenon that in the 70s ║ │ │║ no one projected, and the world was powerless to ║ │ │║ stop, and it still does, it is called Metal ║ │ │║ music. However nowadays only a few bands really ║ │ │║ had something to say when it comes to the ║ │ │║ revival of NWOBHM. Actually, today this ║ │ │║ tremendous subgenre that reshaped 70s Rock and ║ │ │║ Punk, provided a fine measure of technical ║ │ │║ abilities and elevated singing, is under Swedish ║ │ │║ hands that took away the old British ║ │ │║ superiority. SCREAMER, a rather new Swedish band ║ │ │║ I had the honors to take on their debut album, ║ │ │║ ôAdrenaline Distractionsö, which introduced me ║ │ │║ to their old-fashioned sound and auspicious ║ │ │║ musical direction that led me back decades ago ║ │ │║ when I was little, luckily fell into my lap once ║ │ │║ again with their second release, ôPhoenixö, ║ │ │║ again via High Roller Records, to start 2013 ║ │ │║ with a wicked kind of flash bang encouraged by ║ │ │║ old school Heavy Metal. Just for the first kick, ║ │ │║ I have to add that this baby turned out levels ║ │ │║ up from their debut so you can step right in for ║ │ │║ the next paragraph. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ As like plenty of NWOBHM in the past, especially ║ │ │║ those that arose right in the first years of the ║ │ │║ 80s, slowly diminishing the remainders of old ║ │ │║ British Punk in the vein of the PLASMATICS or ║ │ │║ SEX PISTOLS along with a few Rock attributes, ║ │ │║ SCREAMER follows the same criteria and aspects ║ │ │║ such as the insanely classic sound production. ║ │ │║ Straightforward material that consists of ║ │ │║ immensely catchy, yet exceedingly choral ║ │ │║ choruses, crispy sounded guitars bearing vintage ║ │ │║ Metal riffing along with a few Rock prickles, ║ │ │║ absolute beats of steel and rhythm based bass, ║ │ │║ is the key in order to recapture the once ║ │ │║ glorious British moments alÆa IRON MAIDEN, early ║ │ │║ SATAN, TOKYO BLADE, BUDGIE among others and ║ │ │║ trivial UFO and LED ZEPPELIN sways. Song after ║ │ │║ song on ôPhoenixö SCREAMER proved the title, ║ │ │║ rising from the deep sand with a show of ║ │ │║ determination that nearly diminished their debut ║ │ │║ material two years ago. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôNo Sleep 'Til Hamiltonö blasted my face with a ║ │ │║ fine sense of mid tempo Heavy Metal telling the ║ │ │║ story about touring, heading from place to place ║ │ │║ to show a groupÆs worth to play the true music ║ │ │║ and the experience of playing it live. At first ║ │ │║ I thought that it was some tribute to MOTORHEAD ║ │ │║ that hold the title of their live performance ║ │ │║ ôNo Sleep æTil Hammersmithö, yet it came to be ║ │ │║ much more in the picture of a six minute tracks ║ │ │║ of simple crafted Metal with an attractive long ║ │ │║ C part and crazed soloing that made it number ║ │ │║ one. ôDemon Riderö, ôNo Regretsö, ║ │ │║ ôSlavergrinderö, the first three songs, can be ║ │ │║ gauged together as shining highlights as if made ║ │ │║ years ago and forgotten about. Such enthusiasm ║ │ │║ to compose those vintage exemplifications should ║ │ │║ be awarded. ôDemon Riderö is a flash in the ║ │ │║ dark, amazing chorus and a wonderful main riff. ║ │ │║ ôNo Regretsö, like galloping on a horse towards ║ │ │║ the green horizons of the English land, ║ │ │║ perfectly made chorus, great work on the ║ │ │║ thumping skins, clearly a MAIDENish song with no ║ │ │║ regrets. ôSlavegrinderö sprinting in heavy as ║ │ │║ hell, tougher than it gets, providing great ║ │ │║ vocal performance and a crude main riff running ║ │ │║ away evil. ôLady Of The Riverö setting itself as ║ │ │║ a great specimen of the mixture of late 70s Hard ║ │ │║ Rock showing a fine vintage groove along with ║ │ │║ brittle Heavy Metal. At first I was sure it ║ │ │║ would end up being a ZEPPELIN type track but ║ │ │║ rather fast I came to notice that Metal will ║ │ │║ forever rule the day. A truly inspiring song ║ │ │║ filled with an emotive sagacity that is hard to ║ │ │║ shake. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In a nutshell, this is an amazing album that ║ │ │║ every NWOBHM fan should press hard to his / her ║ │ │║ chest, never let go and not ever loose. Surely ║ │ │║ this is one my first candidates for the 2013 top ║ │ │║ crown. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Demon Rider [04:35] │ │ 02 - No Regrets [04:35] │ │ 03 - Slavegrinder [04:08] │ │ 04 - Far Away From Home [04:19] │ │ 05 - No Sleep ┤Til Hamilton [06:05] │ │ 06 - Phoenix [04:18] │ │ 07 - Mr. Noman [06:25] │ │ 08 - Red Moon Rising [03:55] │ │ 09 - Lady Of The River [07:26] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [45:46 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
