After 10 seconds there is no doubt of what is going to come : Power Metal straight in your face. I am surprised of the quality of this one. I am not a big fan of their previous work (Perfect / Infect) and ....... this one has nothing to do with what has been done before by the band. Surfing on this power, true, melodic wave ? 100% sure ! But the main different with other bands, song-writing is present on this wonderful 'Beyond Recall'. It's a concept album : a men who has killed two persons will pass all the law "stages" before being executed. One of the best concept album I have heard (both musically & lyrically) since Queensrÿche-Operation Mindcrime. If you don't explode on Senseless, Forced, Hour Of Death & The Trial riffs, don't tell us you have a metal heart. I am also amazed by the quality and the diversity of Warhead's music (songs) along this CD including fast, mid-tempo and 'quiet' songs. No cut / copy , no boring moments and the story of a man who has done a big, a very big mistake and has to pay for it. Buy or DIE !!! I'll finish this review with Warhead's message : There is no way to excuse a murder nor a chance for compensation. Beware of what you do. You are responsible !
