NIGHTS OF VIOLENCE REVIEW: METAL TO INFINITY

http://metaltoinfinity.00freehost.com/FrozentearsCDreviewNightsofviolence.html

Frozen Tears is a five piece Italian outfit, started up a in 1997. Besides a couple of demo's, the real stuff in the form of albums such as "Mysterious Time" and "Way Of Temptation" were relished respectively in 2000 and 2002 though Megahard Records. The band change of record company and signed a deal with Steelheart for the recordings of "Metal Hurricane" in 2004. So far, so good...Frozen Tears had three outputs underneath their belts and a fourth one saw daylight this year 2007 by Italian My Graveyard Productions, the masters of underground Metal!

Let me say honestly, this is my first touch with the band which means i never heard them before. Let's give "Nights Of Violence" a swing to find out what's on it was the main thing to do. Right from the first track 'Instability', it became clear to me that the band had a strength-full sound with roaring and screaming guitars, hard-hitting drums, a bass player cut from the correct wood and last but least a very good singer named Taiti Alessio that reminds me of Lance King (Avian, Pyramaze, Defyance,...), Matthew Bizilia (Icarus Witch), Rob Halford (Priest) and Josh Kramer (Saint). All excellent vocalists who transmit something special during their act.

The style of Metal which brings Frozen Tears refers to the 80s, no doubt about that! The brotherhood understanding between the musicians seems strong as steel, pure Heavy Metal is swung in your direction with killer songs like: 'Heart Of Stone', 'Who Am I?!', 'Stories', 'The Prison' and last one 'Run If You Can' (cover of legendary Accept). Concerning the speed with which the songs have been played...both mid as well as up-tempo's are surved in a staggering, awesome manner. Concerning the style of music "Nights Of Violence" keeps the eighties tradition real high and be sure...i'm satisfied with that.

Pleasant release brought by a great band...this one's food for all Classic Heavy Metal maniacs! Buy it - spin it and reduce the volume to the maximum is the only way out. More info at: www.frozentears.it Purchase at: www.mygraveyardproductions.com
