MUSIC BUY MAIL
Metal To Infinity
Let’s
pump some real US Power Metal into our veins people! San Diego based Cage is
here with a fifth and new album entitled Science Of Annihilation. With a lot of
conviction, I will make my words hard and strong while telling you all I'm a
huge fan since their first output “Unveiled” as well as the following
efforts such as: “Astrology”, “Darker Than Black” and “Hell Destroyer’. Four
masterpieces in line – throughout the years, Cage developed itself as one of the
last years, most
brilliant Power Metal acts for sure. Nothing to do with the European Metal scene
– Cage brings on right in your face, damn excellent to the bone US Metal music!
The
new album “Science of Annihilation” is so damn good – I’ve played this
one over and over again the last few days! Before the new album saw daylight, my
respect for these guys was infinite – believe me on my word. The songs present
on “Science Of Annihilation” to defy every imagination. cage teamed up with
a new drummer named Norm Leggio – die-hard US Metal fans surely know he played
in Psychotic Waltz before and that means a lot. I’ve never heard Cage play in
such a fantastic manner – one of my favourite singers Sean Peck opens all his
pipes like he never did before. Sean’s high pitch vocals were memorable in the
past – well, I actually don’t know how to make myself clear right now. More
incredible, awesome, powerful,… I'm speechless!
To
open up the CD, you’ll get an intro but what follows is
unbelievable…’Planet Crusher’ makes his entrance and there we go on
a speed train through the valleys of US Power Metal to the extreme. Fast guitar
riffage with top-notch vokillz and a perfect balance between drum and bass lines.
Damn, it’s only a start and I'm already gasping for air! ‘Scarlet Witch’
passes by in full glory and a new killer song ‘Spirit Of Vengeance’ is
breathing down your neck. Storming rhythms delivered
with technical gear – superb again! And the story goes on and on –
Cage goes on in full force, better watch out for other neck snapping
masterpieces like: ‘Black River Falls’, ‘Speed Kills’, ‘Die Glocke’,
‘Science Of Annihilation’.
All
the amazing guitar duels between Dave Garcia and Wayne McGinnis ton speak to my
imagination. It reminds me to the good old days when Metal Church or Vicious
Rumors guitar wielders made their moves on albums like “Metal Church” /
“Soldiers Of The Night”. Pure as can be – US Metal guitar tactics to the
bone… I still can’t get enough of this so damn grateful form of music,
can’t live without it truly!
“Science
Of Annihilation” deserves a place on top of my own top 20 best albums of 2009 –
that’s for sure! More than 50 minutes of breathtaking US Power Metal –
maniacs on the prowl for lethal, high pitch vocals in the vein of Rob Halford,
James Riveira, Bobby ’Leather Lungs’ Lucas or even King Diamond and furious
guitar moves including the most excellent riffs / solo’s
played on explosive, speedy ‘headbanging’ rhythms better start
looking out for this product – one thing is for sure – you won’t regret at
all. US Power Metal for maniacs pure as can be!! http://www.cageheavymetal.com/
