Steve Cone – In Your Face [2011]

Download For Promo Use Only or Buy Original CD HERE

Cone is a New York native and has been a member of several prominent bands in his years of making music. After relocating to the desert, Cone built a studio and started writing his own brand of metal, forged in the classic European tradition of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends such as Iron Maiden Saxon, Accept and Motorhead to name but a few. His mix or power metal/ progressive hard rock is tempered with his own street-smart style picked up from his days of playing the dark, seedy …

American Metal guitarist Steve Cone will release his new album, In Your Face, on March 1st

A promo clip is available at this location.

In Your Face will be available as both physical CD’s as well as digital download. The album features 12 new original tracks. Drum tracks were recorded last August in upstate New York. The collection of songs is described as “pretty much non stop uptempo, hence the title In Your Face“.

Album Review

Swedish SILVERDOLLAR formed around 1996, their beginnings are laid in playing as a tribute band that turned into writing their own material from 2005 and it lead to the first LP ‘Evil Never Sleeps’. Now under the flag of a new label, they’re about to let out their sophomore effort ‘Morte’. The beginning of the album unfolds with a ‘Morte’ with a strong narrative sense, emotive feel, though epic there is something of a ballad here. Second, ‘CO2’, opens with an atmospheric piano driven intro underlined by an impassioned rhetoric, an epic start that bursts into equally epic guitar and after a modern touch a classic Power Metal. The traditional metal heads might not appreciate the intro so much, but if you’re more open to other music elements and fusion of music is not a blasphemy to you, it surely is a great touch that adds variety. Powerful starting songs!

SILVERDOLLAR obviously are one of the bands that realises the importance of the choice made for the opening of the album. When music is as widely available and there are so many bands out there as in present day, you have to grab the listener from the get go. Bands should not underestimate the short attention span and the limited resources of fans during these trying times of recession. Make the best of it immediately. This band has surely done that. ‘Raging Eyes’ just can’t stop reminding me of MÖTORHEAD‘s ‘Ace of Spades’ with its chorus, also showing that they can match the breakneck speed in the race of the bands as the song unfolds towards the end. ‘Rot’ was one of the songs where the band seemed to go on a more experimental limb, and from that aspect it’s definitely one of the most interesting songs of the album. ‘(Still a) Rocker’ is an example of a song I’ve enjoyed the most for the sheer fun of it, it’s got a wonderful rhythm to it, a song that sweeps one along.

You may not be excited by the fact that they’re not straying from the generic signatures of the genre and include only few modern touches. If enjoyment matters to you more than originality and innovation, then I recommend the listen certainly. If not, this is not for you.

Epysode – Obsessions (2011)

Download

PYSODE is a conceptual project by Virus IV guitarist, Samuel Arkan.
With the contribution of really good musicians and big names from the Prog Metal scene, Arkan has created a well-crafted album full of complex melodies, intensity and power riffs.
“Obsession” is a Melodic Progressive Metal concept work, if you don’t like this kind of albums, don’t be scared, the result is good… at least in places.

The story is more than interesting, just like watching an adventure or a thriller movie with thick plot that will keep you on edge till the last minute.
How about a journey into a dark mind through the eyes of a young police profiler investigating a mysterious series of homicides, that while he does, he gets in touch with several supernatural phenomena that draw him deeper and deeper, to become part of the story?
Pretty dark, mad and cool eh? Well, I’m not going to reveal anything more, so let’s deal with the music.

After the frightening and scary intro “File 41807”, the short and beautifully female vocals-piano “Silences Of Dawn” introduces us into the story.
The first proper track “First Blood” is a heavy beast with a potent sound. The song is melodic and full of energy with monster guitars.
The title track is one of the best in my opinion, epic and thunderous. Here the ensemble between the vocalists is great, as a proper band with a long history.
Musically, “Invisible Nations” is pretty catchy considering its metal spirit.
The ballad “Gemini Syndrome” is another good one. The exchange between the male and female vocals during the dialogues is quite successful; while the keys do an excellent work in the creation of the emotional, soft atmosphere.

“Fallen’s Portrait” is what you call pure prog metal. It’s a complex musical ride whith several tempo changes and great musicanship. It’s a key part of the story as well.
“Season Of Redemption” is an epic track, heavy and dense. I don’t like some desperate vocalizations here.
Things get better on almost catchy and eastern-progg “The Other Side”, in gran part thanks to the great female vocal harmonies.
“One Chance” is another track that musically I don’t like. It’s gritty, dense and heavy, too much heavy (which is not a bad thing) but for some reason I found it inconsistent.
“March Of The Ghosts” has a an epic sound, with some really good big sympho/prog keyboards and guitar solos, sounding in places definitely power metal.
“Last Sunset” is the story final, almost melodic and warmly orchestrated after the previous sonic attack tracks.

If you’re fascinated by Ayreon, and why not, Evergrey imaginery, “Obsession” is for you.
But no matters which is your favorite genre, this is an exciting and interesting album, thanks to the solid content, musically and, of course, lyrically.
The rhythm changes and the colorful keyboards add the progressive tag, while the guitars hold tight the metal facet and the vocals have nothing to envy from so many good and well known vocalists out there.
It’s a progg album, yes, but quite heavy, very close in places to power metal, and it’s exactly in those (few) passages where the songs does not work so well in my opinion.
Anyway, the compositions are above average, well arranged, performed and produced, mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pretty Maids, Jorn Lande, TNT).
Interesting.
