]]>If a friend asked me what heavy metal is, I would probably let him listen to Dream Evil’s The Book of Heavy Metal. Influences of Judas Priest, Hammerfall, Iron Maiden, Helloween, and Primal Fear can all be found on that album.
On their sixth full length album with the original title SIX, it’s no different. In Niklas the band has an excellent vocalist who easily sings in every style necessary. ‘Dream Evil’ opens in typical heavy metal style. More power metal can be heard in ‘Antidote’ and in ‘Sin City.’ The refrain sounds very much like the Scorpions. Next up is ‘Hellride,’ of which the opening part sounds almost the same as Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs,’ and then turns to a Priest/Primal Fear mode.
The next eight songs have a recognizable style and are just what you expect from Dream Evil. As with many of their albums, the quality is high, the execution perfect, and the songs are very recognizable. Because of this they are nice and easy to listen to. The only negative point is that there is completely nothing new. I suppose that’s not the goal of Dream Evil. They just want to play heavy metal, and that is what they do!
