WRETCH – The Hunt
Pure
Steel Records
WRETCH
come from the United States and as I read on their bio they were the pioneers
of the Cleaveland metal scene and they were formed in 1984. The first time that
I listened to them was their previous album entitled “Warriors” which left me
with very good impressions, because it had all these elements that make us love
the traditional U.S. metal sound.
Their
new album which is titled “The Hunt” comes 3 years later from “Warriors” and
basically the band moves on the same musical path of the U.S. metal sound. This
means that you will listen to songs that are based on riffs and melodies played
by musicians that know their instruments well and function very well as a team
and of course a singer that gives to the song a dramatic touch. I think that
their new album is a bit more progressive and less straight forward in
comparison with their previous work which means that it needs more than a
couple of listenings to fully comprehend it. It is though an album that will
pay you back especially if you like bands like HELSTAR (“Nosferatu” era),
ViCIOUS RUMORS and JAG PANZER.
WRETCH
is a band that has a lot of experience and puts in good use. Their compositions
have the maturity of an experienced band and yet are fresh and full of nice
ideas. I think that the fans of U.S. power metal will find this album highly
entertaining.
