Europeans often don’t realize the influence Eddie Van Halen & David Lee Roth had on American scene, I mean you listen Nun Bettencourt talk and after so many years and accomplishments he‘s still talking with religious respect for Eddie.
It took me decades to realize that Van Halen changed everything in music to the point that sometimes I think that he was bigger than Hendrix. @Jer
This just came out a couple of weeks ago. Really well-executed power metal from Greece, all in non-accented English, with Daniel Heiman of Lost Horizon on vocals. (I guess he's farming himself out to every band in Greece who wants to pay him, but he still sounds great for his style of singing.)
Listened to this yesterday and was blown away! Best traditional prog metal I've heard in a long time. It's like a super wacky mashup of Dream Theater, Haken, Seventh Wonder, Devin Townsend...and IDK a bunch of stuff. Really high quality material and expertly produced.
Listening to this today, and...it's solid, I guess? Richie's playing and riffs are absolutely stellar. I know Romero has a good voice, but honestly I think his melodies are a little weak. The opening track is an incredibly limp way to start the album. It gets a lot better from there. Cool cover of UFO's Lights Out, too. Apparently Scott Travis and Rex Brown supplied the rhythm section on the album and Sneap produced it, so of course it sounds perfect.
