Sinbreed – Master Creator

[nyrating]

The third album of Sinbreed is again a step ahead. Compared with the predecessor ‘Shadows’ there didn’t change a lot. Perhaps you can say that the songs are even better written and have more quality. With this album the band shows that due to some member changes the music is a constant factor.

Still Herbie Langhans his voice is characteristic for the band. His sand-papered voice does make the band sound a little different from the lot. (German) power metal with balls is still the trademark. Most of the tracks are fast and the guitar riffs are rather heavy and in front of the mix again. Sometimes the music is a bit atmospheric like in “Moonlit Night”, or a little more progressive on “The Riddle”. Even a ballad with piano is available for the balance. Like on the second album there are no cheesy songs. The band sounds inspired and energetic, the songs are well arranged, melodic, fast and well produced.

I haven’t found anything that doesn’t belong on a good record. A job well done and those of you into fast melodic (think Mystic Prophecy, Gamma Ray etc. etc.) power metal have something to look out for.

Once a metal head, always a metalhead. My parents thought it would only be a period, but they were wrong. I quit to explain the beauty of metal music to others that are not into metal, because it is something you can't tell in words... It is like explaining to a teetotaller why a cold beer is so nice on a hot day... I started with bands like Accept, Metal Church, Iron Maiden and Metallica in the eighties and I think I will still listen to them when I'm stone deaf and old...
