STRANGELET – First Bite
Independent
We all have witnessed the
new trend in heavy metal scene where bands are trying to sound more old school
than the original bands of the 70’s and 80’s. This is kind of cool and some
bands have achieved to create good songs with that recipe, but yet most of them
seem afraid to add their own personal touch or even show they are a contemporary
band. I know that it is good to remember and honor your past and yet you have
to add something of your own age if you want our music to go on. STRANGELET
from Germany, although they are new and young of age they seem to have the
maturity of well experienced musicians and also the enthusiasm that a band of
their age should have. These guys seem to have delved in their influences and
because of that they are trying to reinvent them or at least give them a modern
and contemporary sound. This is not an easy task, but STRANGELET are more than
capable to do so and the result is this enjoyable to listen to debut album.
“First Bite” carries on the legacy of bands like IRON MAIDEN, RIOT, JUDAS
PRIEST, URIAH HEEP, DEEP PURPLE and even BON JOVI with a new and vivid approach
that makes all the compositions included here sound original. The band even
experiments with some blues/rock elements which are obvious in the track under
the title “Hell & Back”. “First Bite” is a strong bite that will stick into
your mind forever. So, if you are into the hard rock and traditional metal
sound, then you know that this is an album that you should check out…
