Assignment – Closing The Circle 2016

The German power metal band ‘Assignment’ releases its fourth album! It is the first disc on which the new singer Diego Valdez can be heard. This album is probably the most mature sounding work that the band has recorded so far. Based on the band slogan “Metal Without Borders” the band once again presents its sophisticated, metal genre cross-mix, while the songs themselves are always focused. Compared to its predecessor, the band now presents an album that is quite riff-oriented, but at the same time it also has epic melodies and big choruses. With his powerful voice that reminds us of Ronnie James Dio, Diego Valdez brings a pinch of classic metal into the overall package.

In “Closing The Circle”, the tradition of the predecessors to also implement a female voice, is continued. Maria José Pot takes over the reins of the legendary Robin Beck and delivers an emotional duet with her Argentine compatriot Diego Valdez. Furthermore, the Argentine guitarist Ivan Iñiguez presents various guitar solos. The album was mixed and mastered this time in Vienna with Norbert Leitner (Mix) and Mike Wulf (Master).
