\"brainstorm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Strike while the iron\u00a0is hot is an expression that can be used here. The band didn’t waste a lot of time entering the studio again after their rather successful 2014 album ‘Firesoul’.\u00a0The first album I bought was their debut ‘Hungry’, not a bad album, but the production and the songs were not yet high quality. With\u00a0new singer Andy B. Franck, the next album already was a big step ahead. Better songwriting,\u00a0a better sound and a much better\u00a0vocalist.\u00a0After that the band released a lot of albums and not one of them was below average. My personal favorites are ‘Soul Temptation’, ‘Downburst’ and ‘Firesoul’.<\/p>\n

After listening a few times to this new album, there is a big chance that I can add ‘Scary Creatures’ to this row. Andy B. is still one of my favorite power metal singers, also on this album he switches\u00a0easy from high to low and from clean to more raw like a model changes clothes.<\/p>\n

Like\u00a0on most of their albums there are some rather fast double bass power metal\u00a0tracks like “The World To See”, “Where Angels Dream”,”Twisted Ways” and “Scars In Your Eyes”. Varied by more melodic a bit slower tracks like “How\u00a0Much Can You Take”, the catchy song “We Are” (with a child choir) and “Caressed By the Blackness”. The title track has some orchestral pieces, a kind of hypnotizing rhytmn and\u00a0due to some electronic sounds, quite\u00a0modern. This track shows that Brainstorm is still developing and not afraid to add new things to their style. The closing track is the\u00a0softest song, with Andy using a rather low singing style.<\/p>\n

At first\u00a0I was a little afraid that\u00a0by entering the studio again so soon\u00a0the songwriting would be less strong, but fortunately I worried in vain. Again a class album of one of the better German power metal bands. There are not a lot of bands that combine power metal with melody, catchy refrains and excellent singing\u00a0without sounding cheesy. Brainstorm\u00a0has been doing this\u00a0for many albums still keeping their dark and heavy sound.<\/p>\n

Next month they will be touring as a support of Primal Fear, there is no excuse to stay home!<\/p>\n
