Well, CRYSTALLION are an option then. You get a slightly rough and somehow cragged production which nevertheless fits the song material pretty well. Nevertheless, female vocalist Kristina Berchtold, who took over the microphone from former vocalist Thomas Str\u00fcbler after fifteen years, might probably divide vocally. But if you are into slightly unpolished and raw heavy metal, just give \u201cHeads Or Tails\u201c a spin. Maybe it\u2019s just my impression but whereas the instrumental section is pretty good, the voice of Berthold can\u2019t keep up with what is needed here. Cool at times are some instrumental parts with progressive twists and turns but mostly it\u2019s straight-forward melodic metal. Possible comparisons might be CRYSTAL VIPER or ZED YAGO to a certain degree. Tracks to be checked out in order to have an overview of the sound are \u201cKnights And Heroes\u201c, \u201cThe King Is Rising\u201c and \u201cThunderclouds\u201c. But the Germans might have lots of competitors in the given genre\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6,5\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Stark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
