Mutiny is a Greek heavy metal band. They haven't release a full album
yet and frankly I'm egger to listen to it once completed. In the meanwhile
they send us this Demo CD with 2 tracks.
The first song (Under The Cross-Bone Flag) on the CD is amazing ! Original
and then filled with inspiration from the last 2 decades of Metal. This
song is a great achievement, congratulations ! The guitars riffs are
nicely done and the song writing is excellent. Not to mention the singer
and his incredible voice. Strong riffs mixes with background melodies
in a very smart way. The song is grabbing the listeners attention directly
and once the melodies enters your minds they won't leave it anyday soon.
The only weakpoint of this song is it's chorus which is on a slower
tempo that the rest of the songs and kinda stop the song where it should
embrace the power coming from the verse to my opinion.
Second track who bears the name of the demo CD (Guilty As Charged)
is quiet different from the first one. It's a less technical song, were
the first one could have very much been a true-metal song this one is
more heavy from the 80's. This song is nice as well and confirms my
impression of the band : talented. Only problem on this song : the chorus
background voice is a bit strange (somehow reminding me of A. Banderas).
With a stronger production this band can become a big surprise in the
Greek and European metal scene, and that's all we wish for them. If
you want to listen to their work or simply contact them then go and
check out their website.
And before I forget : great artcover ! Keep up the good work guys !
