Titanic - Maiden Voyage (1995/Magdalene)
Rating - 8.0

Nightmare--RealAudio

This album was originally released in 1995, then reissued in 2000. The music here has a slashing hard rock, melodic metal feel to it. There's lots of energy everywhere, and the vocals are snarling and tough--think of an edged John Bush, perhaps. Heavier versions of Velocity, Teer, and 'Chameleon'-era Von Groove are brought to mind. What really grabs your attention, though, is the heavy and dominant guitar sound the band employs.
The opening trio of "Nightmare," "You've Got Nothing On Me," and "Gods of War" is strong, with "I Don't Believe" being chunky and heavy. "And the Dead Shall Rise" and "Fight Back" are steady tracks, and a good heavy/light mix shows up in "Hollywood Blvd."
