Killing songs: Blood Relations, The End Of Sanctuary & Night Of The Wolf.
A new album for this German band and a new success ! In the line with
their precedent release (The Nature Of Evil), The End Of Sanctuary
plants the flag of German domination over this kind of music. So the
album start very fast with a typical Sinner tune called Signed, Sealed
and Delivered. Then your speakers are about to blow when the player
reached track 2 ! A ferocious riffs starts this excellent song called
Blood Relations. Track 3 bears the name of the album : The
End Of Sanctuary. And the End start fucking fast ... nice intro
and the guitars takes over unexpected but so welcomed... What a song,
again, with such nice equilibrium between verse and chorus ! Mat Sinner's
voice on that one proves that he's getting better and better on each
new release. Guitars riffs are definitely this release strongpoint...
that and the added melodic touch... and that's no secret I'm fund for
melody :). Fourth song starts and this one is different (shame... kidding
of course) : heavier, louder...with an aggressive mid tempo and is typically
a gig's neckbreaker (do I perceive Udo Dirksneider's voice in the chorus
?). Well... I would be delighted to go on and comment on every track
but I would spoil your pleasure of listening this excellent release,
which by the way is A-OK in matter of sound and production. Hope your
favorite shop has it !
