Marshall Law--Metal Detector

Marshall Law--Metal Detector (1997/Pulse) Rating--9.0

Nasty, churning power metal, in the vein of Primal Fear, faster Sinner, and classic heavy Priest. The vocals are close to Ralf Scheepers, though smoother and not quite as over-the-top. UK power, made to order.
The fast and ripping "Twisted This" opens the fest, and is followed by a host of strong tracks, including the smooth and solid "Seek and You Shall Find" and "The Seeds of Change," the steady "Feed the Need," and the uptempo "Devices".
Nasty and evil verses highlight "Swarm," and "Addicted to the Pain" contains more vocal bliss. "Meganoid" has a head-moving power rhythm, and the ultra-steady "Empowerment" stands atop the heap with its strong and biting chorus.
Yet another great European band, and even more unheralded than the aforementioned Primal Fear and Sinner. A force to be reckoned with, though. Scoop it up, kiddies...
