Lightforce
Mystical Thieves
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This band is being promoted as a speed metal band. While they may be a speed metal band, they're not as intense or fierce as Vengeance, Deliverance or Believer. The vocals and looseness of the chops rate most of these tunes as garage speed metal. Light Force is not lame, though. Most thrashers will like it, they just won't be blown away by it. There's some nice bass chops that solo all through this debut album. There's busy drumming and crunchin' power chords too. The title track is a hot tune, with fast rhythms and time changes. We can expect more from this band on future releases on Pure Metal.
