Lament
Through The Reflection
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This trio of amigos de Mexico has returned with its second full-length album - Through The Reflection. Apparently, the band said, "Out with the thrash and in with the classic metal," cause this Chuck & Laurie Wilson production certainly captures that layered and distinct instrumentation that made the intro to Iron Maiden songs so fun to listen to. One ingredient the band kept in their recipe, however, was the shouted / growled vocals of Abel Gomez, who many know took over the drums and vocal duties last year. The mixture keeps the band strong and heavy, but those wishing for speed will be slightly disappointed in the change. Overall, however, the band has done their homeland and all of metal proud. While this new focus is aimed at a slightly different audience, the new listeners will probably increase in number. For ordering info, write: Little Rose Productions, Box 533, 40101 Jyvaskyla, Finland
