Following in the footsteps of the great neoclassical shred guitarists, Danish axeman Niels Veljyt has taken time away from Infinity Overture, My Empty Room and his own online guitar school to release his sophomore album Sthenic, a marked improvement from début The Predator in both production and composition. It’s relatively short at 40 minutes, but full of proof of his abilities, mixing in various metal styles such as heavy, melodic and progressive.
Enlisting the help of Kris Gildenlöw (ex-Pain Of Salvation) on bass and Jakob Vand (Infinity Overture) on drums, Vejlyt sets out to explore various fretboard techniques such as arpeggios, taps, sweeps and sustained notes, akin to his forefathers Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen, but unfortunately also succumbs to one of their faults: there are very few of the simpler chord progressions and riffs themselves, which means the songs are more divided sections that are repeated, such as in “Rain”. His guitar is like a vocal instrument rather than a stringed instrument, forming complicated and meandering lines that are less memorable than the power-ballad-like sustained notes such as on opener “Heads Up”.
To give the other musicians their credit, Gildenlöw and Vand hold up their ends very well. The bass is audible in several parts, including one multi-layered guitar section in “Die Today” which is particular chaotic. The drums play an interesting role in “My Little Rascal”, opting for a slow groove while Vejlyt flies quickly with tap after sweep, slowing down only when “Kajsa” commences, an interesting ballad intertwining just piano and guitar, and then finishing with the lengthy closer “Winter”, a relaxed acoustic riff and floating bassline that abruptly breaks out into the heaviest song of the lot, in a vibe reminiscent of Symphony X. Certainly an attention-grabbing finisher, but it unfortunately makes the middle tracks slightly forgettable in the build-up.
The world ‘sthenic’ means “possessing a high level of strength and energy”, and that is certainly the case here. For those that enjoyed John Petrucci’s Suspended Animation or the work of Michael Romeo, this comes highly recommended, as well as for any guitar enthusiasts or newcomers to the shred style.

Czar – Vertical Mass Grave (2011)
Jan 6, 2012 15:32
Progressive Rock
Vertical Mass Grave's cover depicts a widely known, in the world of science fiction "geeks" and cinema lovers, object. It's a Monolith. In Arthur C. Clarke's complex universe, Monoliths are advanced machines built from extraterrestrial species that appear in the solar system, triggering evolutionary shifts in human history. They are really bad-ass objects - anyone who witnessed the terror of those hominids in Kubrick's film can tell. Now, to those who already came up with a metaphor about how groundbreaking the band is, let's make it clear: Czar is a modern metal band that brings nothing new to the table. Should this be a reason to condemn Vertical Mass Grave to oblivion?
Definitely not.
Raised from the ashes of the industrial metallers Acumen Nation, Czar have created an amazingly massive sound which follows the learnings of Meshuggah and their latest immit...(ough), followers. The trio from Chicago isn't all about the bulkiness though. There's pretty much going on even when the heavy riffing doesn't engross all the attention. In "Diapers", melodic passages balance the storming, whereas coiling leads add brushstrokes of melody in the rather frigid and polyrythmic construction. The dialogue between the industrialized heftiness and the robotic sentimentality echoes through most of the songs. Still, it isn't melody nor rawness that drives the album, but rhythm.

Hunted – Welcome the Dead (2011)
Jan 3, 2012 15:02
Heavy Metal |Power Metal Progressive Rock
HUNTED hail from Wales, UK, they’ve started as a cover band but went to develop their own sound, influenced by such bands as IRON MAIDEN, BLIND GUARDIAN, SAXON, DIO, DREAM THEATER, ICED EARTH to name just few of the prominent ones. They also fuse some marks of Progressive into their sound, some thrash and power touches also, which makes for an interesting sound - at once classically Heavy Metal yet enhanced by embracing the other subgenres. They’ve released a demo EP ‘Alone’ before and tested themselves live in many venues. ‘Welcome The Dead’ is their first album, at first self-produced, but now under Massacre Records. The album has a very promising intro, and builds up with a great strength and the sequences of songs are well assembled. Some of the most remarkable tracks were ‘Aria (In Memoriam)’ - grand song opening with beautifully strummed and picked guitars with an acoustic sound that will come in and out during the song, bursting into the powerful melody, epic song with many layers, showing their fusion of the Metal genres truly well, even some Doom metal between its more audible / noticeable Progressive references.
Not to mention it shows of their musicianship in ample measure, the guitars squeeze in a lot of emotion, the vocals are to be commended throughout. ‘The Incident’ which is a sample track atmospherically introduces the next song, ‘Impaled’, the dramatic culminating song with a great narrative with an emotive story of child witnessing murder of his parents. It demonstrates a great use of communicating main and backing vocals as well as instruments for a nearly theatrical piece. The track is underlined by a manic drumming that gets your blood sufficiently boiling. ‘Shadows’ was yet another song that stood out for me, love the heavier, darker guitars, another emotively charged song. The closing of this album is served by a cover of NEVERMORE’s ‘The Heart Collector’ and a truly wonderful one it is! An impressive debut, it sounds already quite accomplished, and I’m sure we’ll hear even more about this band in future as their reputation and body of work will grow. I’ve enjoyed it beyond my anticipation and could only heartily recommend it.
