BOOZE CONTROL – The Lizard Rider

BOOZE
CONTROL was introduced to me with their sophomore album that had the simple and
straight to the point title “Heavy Metal”. In times when someone tries to be or
look complicate in order to impress the metal fans, BOOZE CONTROL dare say and
play traditional heavy metal.
Their
new album comes 3 years after their sophomore and finds them in a new label too
(Inferno Records which helped them in the promotion with their previous
release). Although the time gap between the 2 albums is big especially in our
days, it shows that BOOZE CONTROL never rush things and above all that they
haven’t lost their identity.
With
“The Lizard Rider” the people who loved them in their previous releases won’t
be disappointed at all and all of you that will learn the band with this album
will appreciate their talent and ability to create straight forward heavy metal
songs. The main characteristics of their sound are the melodies and the steady
rhythm section. The band’s influences come from the N.W.O.B.H.M. scene (IRON
MAIDEN elements of course dominate their sound) and of course they have their
references to the German metal scene too (after all it is their country of
origin).
All
in all “The Lizard Rider” continues from the point that their previous album left
us and the band once again is in great form and delivers catchy heavy metal
songs. Personally I have to notice that as the album proceeds I like it more
(in plain words I like more the songs in the end, but this is a matter of
taste). If you search for well developed and performed traditional heavy metal
then BOOZE CONTROL is a good choice for you.
