X Factor X--X Factor X

X Factor X--X Factor X (1997/Klytus) Rating--7.8

Sharp metal, drawing from a number of both eighties and power/prog influences. Reminds at times of bands such as Edwin Dare and Radakka, and also the spunkiness and inventiveness of an Extreme. Extremely talented and well-rounded, as each musical facet shines.
Smooth vox power "Over the Edge," and funky metal riffs move both "The Scream" and "B.A.M.F."
An acoustic, atmospheric beginning gives way to an excellent distortion churn in "Shadow," and the verse work in "Kingdom" is pure stalk.
Check out the nasty grind in "Playing With Fire"; "Nightmare 7" is a highlight as well.
Another impressive new band to help re-light the torch of metal; check out the Metal Spotlight on the band.
