Armageddom (acoustic version) + bonus multimedia part: info, pics and "The Fall" videoclip Total time: 35:09 Review: The first thing that strikes you when looking at this CD is the professional package and image. These guys or their manager (or both) really have the sense of a good look when releasing a product. So as they are an epic heavy power metal band they are into the fantasy thing so the front cover artwork of this CD is very bright coloured and suggestive, their logo as well, and the band photos at the same high level. Now let's go to the multimedia content of this Demo CD. The same good work in the multimedia band's presentation with photos and a video, but we've reached the point where all these are ruined completely by this videoclip that has nothing to do with the whole band. That's the shittiest thing I've seen that really succeeded to ruin the whole fun of listening the CD's tracks. The video is filmed on a concert (taht kind of footage are better for a hardcore or gindcore band), on different rooms and in studio, but every one of them are taking it for fun, the drummer mostly as 25% of the whole videoclip is about his big, disgusting belly. Well guys, that's the most stupid thing you could have ever done! Now about the tracks (I advise you to listen to the audio stuff before seeing the video, or don't watch the video at all), they are pretty good and worked upon, so the band takes them on melodic epic metal paths, although the recordings are not that great. Maybe these are rehearsal recordings, or the guy that worked on its sound could use a bit more learning. The band is formed by skilled musicians for sure as they are succeeding to do interesting, somethimes enchanting atmospheres. If the tracks will be re-recorded in a profi studio, with a proper sound-engineer I am sure these tracks would hit harder. I can tell you, these guys are good and talented musicians with a good future in front of them and this being only a Demo CD we can pass over some inconveniences. They are helped inhere by two nice female voices in the person of Tanya Montfort and Stephanie Zammit, a plus for sure. If it wasn't for the shitty videoclip this Demo CD would have been a great relaxing review for me, but I can't have them all... Contact: www.angelcrypt.com
