METAL CHURCH "A Light In The Dark" CD Steamhammer
Years ago, I was disappointed by the "Masterpeace" cd and I lost interest
in the comeback of METAL CHURCH. A friend made me listen some tracks of their
new album, and as it has recatched my interest, I bought the cd. "A Light
In The Dark" is a very good disc of real metal played with balls. The opener,
which is the title track, is a powerful storm. "Beyond All Reason" has strong
verses, but unfortunately a weak chorus. The band goes faster with the thundering
"Mirror Of Lies". The heavy "Disappear" rocks from hell. "The Believer" mixes
heaviness with a dark melody. "Temples Of The Sea" is a great epic semi-ballad.
Then, it's time to become crazy with the raging "Pill For The Kill". "Son
Of The Son" is a typical METAL CHURCH track like in their heydays, which
means it's excellent. "More Than Your Master" sounds like a filler. "Blinded
By Life" is good and solid. The final track is a 2006 version of "Watch The
Children Pray" in tribute to David Wayne. Ronny Munroe is a perfect vocalist
for the music of the band. So, it seems the light is back in the METAL CHURCH...
