In General I’m not against the minimalistic releases and especially when it’s about a Heavy Metal / Hard Rock, release, but here we have a problem. The “No Way Out” CD is a re recording of some older demos, by the Italian trio Hammer.
\r\nSo, as I quoted before, the minimalistic approach in the Heavy Metal / Hard Rock releases sounds good to me, but this trio really took it too far. Through the ten tracks that this demo Cd features, we can hear the same tempo on drums, as well as the same riff with some variations on it. If we add the awful vocals that sound like Tom Keifer’s younger brother, then we got the whole picture. The only worth to mention point is the very good work on solos, that probably is the only descent point of this release.
