Killing songs: Lead Us To War, Gallowmere and Wake Up In Hell
Second album for Sinergy. True Metal band which finally found a stable
layout. Kimberly Goss, the singer (ex background singer for Therion)
released her second album with her boyfriend Alexi Laiho (yes... Children
Of Bodom lead genius !). For all of you who have the first album I'm
warning you right now : it's not the same anymore. In interviews Goss
said that they would be making an album about music they like and which
belongs to the past, 80's and begining of 90's. And this is somehow
the case, it's heavy metal with some power metal elements then and there,
like the killing riffs/melodies/solos that only Laiho can play. Sometimes
the begining of some of the songs even reminds me Children Of Bodom.
Like for the first release, Kimberly's voice is really nice and add
a strong power / atmosphere to this excellent band. The album has an
impeccable production.
In the end this is a very nice release, it's really music from the
past but with today's sound and feel, and somehow that makes it damn
original. I recommand this album to every heavy metal fan and of course
all Sinergy's fans.
