| 3.6 great | Voivod STAFF | October 13th 15 |
This is the debut album of this Detroit MI, '80s heavy/power metal outfit, but Wulfhook's 2012 demo (stop reading this soundoff and check it out at once!) was their real calling card into the circuit; Besides the mentioned genres, the band also has a knack for thrash metal, as witnessed by the riff textures and the album's speeding tempo; however (and in contrast to the 2012 demo), the sound of The Impaler lacks the spite that would equally highlight the album's harshest segments; the music itself is great per se (the guitar leads kill!), but barely goes beyond the standard '80s metal tribute, whereas the high pitched singer is a delight for the sound as it was introduced in the '80s, but a more diverse collection of vocal lines would really be a plus nowadays. The fan inside says the album is a solid 3.7, the staffer inside says it's rating is 3.6, well go figure... A must-listen-to album for fans of Riot, Oliver Magnum, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc... Favourite songs: Devil's Harlot and Tormentor. Stream: http://tribunalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-impaler
