Description

Edguy - if you havn't heard of them before, you have probably stumbledupon them from hearing about their correlations with Maiden and Helloween...not the worst bands to be compared to at all!If you want to see how this band has progressed since the mid 90's to themodern day..I cannot recommend thbeir previous efforts hightly enough -very good power, melodic, thrash, speed, orchestral, high octaine metal -that can also be pleasant on the melodic ears at times as well !Here is my speed readers' track by track of Hellfore Club:Mysteria 5This opens the album in an unrelenting double bass speed metalmore… assault ofthe senses. Great verses and catchy lyrics backed by a very tight ryhtmand lead section. Superb opener !!!Piper Never Dies 5Amazing follow up..at 10 minutes ong I was expecting many mood changes,build ups etc...but once it gets going after a minute or so, it is aclerverly contructed tune with enough melody to keep you repeating thechoruse...just like the pied piper leading ou away...lots of good thingsabout this song!We Dont Need A Hero 4More straight head metal here, but the chorus and riffing is exemplarary,with some fine backing vocals, giving this a powerful atmospheric feelDown To The Devil 5This kicks off with a damn good piano intro and contains possibly thecatchiest chorus in the album. Hard to ciriticise and the piano introlinks to the Lucifer in Love (see later)King Of Fools 5The song that was released as an EP. Has a very riff and fuzzy verse. Easy on the ear and good chorus again. Not as heavy as Hero, but thevolume is turned up for this oneForever 5 ++There is no rating greater than 5 butr Edguy are good at writing powerballads. Use of orchestra instead of keys helps...but this is powerfuland sentimental stuff indeed. Something here even the ladies canappreciate Under The Moon 4WOW ! What an intro...machine gun riffing wakes you up after the serenityof Forever...this is hard, heavy and tight, you feel as if this album ishitting ultimate heights...every song so far is awesome..what can go wrong???Lavatory Love Machine 1i detest this joke of a song. The lyrics are comical, the music is cheesyhard rock from the school of the darkness...it is a shame that the moodand build up the album is let down byu this joke filler song !Rise Of The Morning Glory 3Pretty good and I think would hav fitted better after Moon...but seemsoddly placed after LLM..and I think I tend to forget about it due to itbeing after the aforementioned joke. This has a good chorus and is not abad songLucifer In Love 1It isnt really an instrumental but has the similar piano background asDevil...but the moans of a beast clearly demonstrating its carnalknowledge ruins the flow of the album (if LLM hadnt already done that). Common sense tells me this should have been track 3 before Devil...Navigator 3.5This is again not a bad track but does suffer from placement. It is notas original as other tracks here and has the eastern influence of Babylon,etc from previous Edguy albums. Quite a mellow guitar solo that iswonderful to the ears!Spirit Will Remain 3An orchestra led song with just singing. Good demo of tobias' vocalskills but too Manowar for my linking, but not as cheesy by any means.Overall a very good solid release, the first half is head and shouldersabove the 2nd half. I generally stop after track 7 and go back toHysteria, as im my opinion the placement of a few of the 2nd half songssuffers due to a few poor fillersBuy this and expect to be singing out loud to these master of melodicspeed from Germany...the Fury of the Hellfire club is released !!!!!
