Quality & Originality:Megasonic is such a gifted band and Intense is a huge ball of Rock, Metal, 80'S Metal, Prog, Power. It is almost impossible to stick them into any genre cause they have broke the mold on what a ''Normal'' band should be and are doing it there way. They are extremely unique but have so many influence from the past and present bands out there. The album was mixed by Jeroen De Bock and mastered by the bands own Dimitri Verhoeven. I am such a huge fan of the riffs on this album they are all over but in such a killer metal way. This is a band you will not forget.

 

My Opinion:When I first put in Intense I thought I had the band figured out and each song I realized I was wrong, It made me want to hear more and more. Just when you think they are just more of a high fueled band they up and do a massive ballad entitled Man in the Moon to just show how impressive the song writing is. Megasonic will appeal to such a wide audience from your Symphony X to Savatage fans to your Anthrax and Hammerfall fans. I think it really helps that the band is not just a band but are all multi instrument players and have been close friends for a many years. It is a headbanging riff heavy monster balanced full bore real deal kick ass album!!!!!!!!

 

Overall & Favorites:Future Shock, Bombs Away, Eye of the Storm. I give this multi riff way killer massive album a solid 8/10 for making it a extreme enjoyable listen!!!!

Quality & Originality:Will To Power is simply put ''A Killer Album''. The band really pushes what they are known for with such a great productive mix of guitars, bass, drums and some great singing. I love how they stay true to themselves but really pay tribute to the fathers of metal that come before them on this release. David really has a massive set of pipes on him and is not scared to use them but is so much more then just a bunch of screams cause he can harmonize with the best of them. The band is insanely tight on this release showing why they have climbed into the hearts of metal heads on a global scale.

 

My Opinion:Lord Volture has really brought there A game on this release and they are not taking prisoners. It is everything you want out of a hard rock album crunching guitars and bad ass singing. I want to warn you that you might find yourself with fits of head banging and fist pumping during listening to this and playing tons of air guitar!! I cannot say enough about this album to really do it the justice it deserves but to say get out there if you love rock driven metal and buy this album!!!

 

Overall & Favorites:The Great Blinding, Where The Enemy Sleep, Line 'em Up. I rate this at a 8/10 for the blistering beating my neighbors took from me listening to this at insane volumes!!!!
