Chryztyne
Tales of Paradise
Reviewed by Andrew Crump
Commercial metal has a massive following, and if you're into the Europe-Dio-Scorpions sort of thing, Chryztyne may get your heart pumping.
There is some excellent, perspiration inspiring material here. The songs are well written with plenty of super hooks, and the band kicks them out with perfection.
The vocalist has an interesting voice which compliments the songs in a cool way. There are some great bgv's also. The drummer and bass player are extremely tight and powerful. Keyboards are also an active part of Chryztyne, but they are tastefully used. The guitars - whoa! - the guitars are like blazing bolts of lightening. Ear hairs will singe.
Each tune on this 10 song demo is nearly flawless with weaknesses well hidden. Moving rhythms, nifty riffs, wailing vocals, spiritual inspiration - it's all here, just waiting.
