Classics

Classics ... or "Best Of" I guess. I only know this band by their name. This is my first ever Warrior Soul record (sorry :-) ) and I have really appreciate it. Ok it is a best of and almost all best of are good records ... as long as you appreciate the music style of the band. Somehow this New-York's band sounds like a neo-metal Motley Crüe for me; their guitar's sound, their bass rhythm, the vocalist explains this. They play a rock'n'roll music and they have almost invented these typical neo-metal sounds (aggressive vocals here and there, guitar effects,...). Warrior Soul has been "killed" by the grunge, but I understand now why this band has influenced so many other neo-metal bands (who said Korn?). Imagine a rock'n'roll played the heavy way, very melodic and where guitars are used to accentuate even more this "heavy feeling". On some songs, the Kiss' influence is really evident; I guess it is a typical New-York ... feeling. At the end of this great best of (16 songs taken from their five albums), I was wondering how I could have missed this band? Fans of Warrior Soul will like this one, even thought their is no bonus tracks, live songs or unreleased songs ... but those songs have been totally "re-recorded" by the original lineup, who is back to the roots and will kick some ass in a very near future!!! If you don't know Warrior Soul, this Classics is an excellent start point (first three Warrior Soul records are : Last Decade Century, Drugs God And The New Republic, Salutations From The Ghetto Nation and I am going to have a look at these one immediately). A must for all neo-metal out there who like rock'n'roll.What a f**cking great Best Of !!!
