Killing songs: The whole record ... but <i>Blessed Be</i> is enormous !!!
Fans of NWOBHM stand up now !!!
Wytchfynde, with their black metal logo, plays in fact an excellent
heavy metal coming straight away from the 80's. The production could
have been without any doubt much better, but who gives a shit when the
song-writing and the vocalist are so good.
Hell Hath No Fury or Blessed Be reminds me the best songs
of Dio, while Death Of Innocence has a Black Sabbath touch. If
you grew up (like me) in the 80's and appreciate bands like Saxon, Dio,
King Diamond without forgetting Blitzkrieg, The Awakening
is an album you should buy as soon as possible.
The overall structure of the album reminds me Dio's Holy Diver,
but there is absolutely no copy cat here. Last but not least, the vocalist
sings like Dee Snider (at least on Vampyre's Tale and on Ghost
Dancer) and this is adding even more this 80's feeling. Thank you
very much Luther (vocalist of the band) for sending and signing me this
jewel.
Major labels don't miss this band. Long live Wytchfynde !!!
