Marshall Law--Warning From History (1999/Neat)
Rating--9.1
Blood on Blood--RealAudio Crucified
The band's fourth studio release, and even more ripping than the previous 'Metal Detector'. The songs as a whole are
faster (think Primal Fear's absolute fastest), and there is also an added edge to the band's
distortion sound. Rip-a-licious!
Opener "Victory at Last" is breakneck and searing, and is followed by the same-held "Locked
and Loaded". Other fast and heavy hitters include "Harbinger," "Retreat," and the Japanese bonus tracks "Searching
for Paradise" and "Powergame".
Though slower, "Remembered Forever" is still driving and churning, and the band then kicks
it back into high gear for the buzzsaw-and-harmonic pace of "Blood on Blood". "March of History" has a killer rhythm, and the chugging
"God King" breaks out wth a slashing chorus.
The top spot is held by "Crucified," complete with a neck-moving drive and
nasty in-song notes...
Once again, some powerful bliss by these UK smashers.
