Fires Of Babylon - Fires Of Babylon

\r\n

\r\nA fresh release appears in the shelves of the record stores and in particular it is extremely interesting both in the line-up and content. Lou St. Paul (WINTERS BANE), Kelly Conlon (ex-DEATH, MONSTROCITY), Robert Falzano (SHATTER MESSIAH, ex-ANNIHILATOR) and Rob Rock (ex-IMPELITTERRI, M.A.R.S, JOSHUA, WARRIOR) link their forces and the result satisfies the most everyone who decides to invest in the particular album. Pure heavy metal, with bulky guitars enriched in certain phases with more power points. The solos offer more to the basic ideas of the tracks and personally drawn my attention with this work. Drums leave their own “stain” and by listening to Robert you realize why Mike Mangini selected him as his substitute in the tour of Annihilator in 2004 next to big Judas Priest. Very good playing from a very promising drummer. Regarding the bass guitar Kelly gives his best and supports the songs with a unique way. There were times when I turned behind in certain points in order to hear how his hands “are left” in the instrument…And in order to not forget it listen also “Symbolic”. You will find him and there, as the unforgettable Chuck Schuldiner had assigned him to play the bass guitar in the entire album. For Rob Rock I do not believe that there should be an introduction…this guy for one more time gives his best and his performance is amazing… So simple. The only negative point that I found in the album is the keyboards…They are heard very distant and as if they are found somewhere deep in the ground. You can hear them with great difficulty. They are not tragic, but once they exist they could give more importance to them. Whoever likes good heavy metal, they should check and invest without hesitation. \r\n
