VOLTAX – No Retreat… You Surrender
Iron
Shield Records
People,
who search the American metal scene and the underground, already know that in
Mexico there is also a very interesting and promising metal scene. One of the
most worthy to be mentioned representatives of this metal scene is surely the
band VOLTAX who with this release reach their fourth full length album.
VOLTAX
is a band that has the talent and the ability to create nice traditional metal
tunes, but we all know in this era we live that this is not enough in order to
be noticed. You have to fight and take any chance you get and this is what
VOLTAX did and they have managed to break the boundaries of their country and
become known abroad. I think my country, Greece, is one of the first that have
noticed this band.
In
their new release VOLTAX do what they know best and surely love. They deliver
heavy metal songs that are influenced by the 80’s British metal scene mainly,
but also have some U.S. metal touches. To be more specific the sound of the
band is a combination of N.W.O.B.H.M. and IRON MAIDEN influences and when they
add some speed to the songs then they remind me of bands like OMEN or SAVAGE
GRACE.
“No
Retreat… You Surrender” is an album with catchy melodies built upon a strong
and steady rhythm section played with passion. I think these are all the
necessary elements that can give us a traditional heavy metal album we can
enjoy. The old fans of the band will be satisfied and I think that this release
can bring them some new ones too.
