Nightfall Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars I'll tell you who they remind me of, but don't tune out....
OK, Candlemass sounds a lot like Metal Church, only with better developed sound and more punishing riffs. Some have compared them to Black Sabbath, and that's a valid comparison, but they are much more like the style found in Metal Church. "The Well of Souls" is a fine metal tune and sets off the album quite well. Epicus is a better album, but this is a really good album, too. Don't pass by Candlemass. The name might fool you, but they are nothing like Blind Guardian. Trust me.

Metal Church CD (1985)

Much like the English punk movement before it, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal invaded hundreds of American garages in the early '80s and launched countless bands across the nation. It is interesting to note, however, that while in major cities with thriving punk rock this phenomenon manifested itself in the form of thrash metal (for example, L.A.'s Metallica, New York's Anthrax), in secondary capitals, up-and-coming bands ...

Kreator Coma Of Souls CD (1990)

Nightfall music CDs

$10.45

Although they remained largely without peer when it came to pure Germanic thrash metal, by the time of 1990's Coma of Souls, Kreator's very successful formula had begun to grow a little tired. The fact that they were coming off perhaps their biggest album yet in 1989's Extreme Aggression didn't help matters, and despite its overwhelmingly solid songwriting, Coma of Souls still sounded somewhat repetitive to all but the most unquestioning of fans. Still, better too much of a good thing than nothing at all, and with their head-spinning musicianship and well-chosen stabs at melody, complex moshers like "When the Sun Burns Red," "Angels of Brutality," and the title song are guaranteed ...

Candlemass CD (2006)

Nightfall songs

$10.59

The arduous three-year process of reuniting Candlemass' "classic" lineup had all the makings of a psychodrama: one where an innocent wedding-day jam incredibly led to sporadic live performances; then rather noncommittal songwriting sessions that progressed into the recording of actual demos; and after everything fell apart at the last minute due to the usual "irreconcilable differences," a just as unexpected about-face that allowed the album in question to suddenly emerge in 2005! In other words, unlike so many band reunions, which retrospectively seem to quickly transform from impossible to inevitable, this special occasion should not be taken for granted by any fan of the Swedish doom titans -- it was hardly guaranteed. Having clarified this, possibly the most surprising thing about this long-awaited comeback is that despite its eponymous simplicity and white-cover starkness, Candlemass aspires to far more than the mere rekindling of a very successful formula; it represents the work of a band intent ...

Death metal with some melody? Can it be? As evidenced by Amon Amarth's 2006 release, With Odin on Our Side, this dream seems to be a reality early on. On the album opening "Valhall Awaits Me," singer Johan Hegg's vocal lines aren't merely growled syllables. But don't be worried, longtime Amarth fans, it's not like the Swedish outfit has enlisted the help of Burt ...

Elvenking Winter's Wake CD (2006)

Nightfall music CDs

$12.89

Even in the 21st century, there are still some older folk purists who believe that Bob Dylan committed musical heresy when he went electric in the mid-'60s, and if those stodgy über-purists still have a problem with Highway 61 Revisited after all these years, one can only imagine the convulsions and violent seizures they would experience upon hearing the way that a power metal revival/prog metal outfit like Italy's Elvenking liberally incorporate European folk on their third official full-length album, Winter's Wake. Elvenking certainly aren't the only power/prog headbangers with a folk influence, but Euro-folk isn't a mere afterthought for these paisans. it is an integral part of what they do on this album, which shows a strong awareness of medieval, Celtic, British, and Scandinavian folk but without sacrificing the loudness and bravado that power metal is known for. This is a CD that, creatively, is indebted to bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Manowar, Fates Warning, and Queensr˙che but still has some things in common with Jethro Tull. Paradoxically, Elvenking manage to offer arrogance and enchantment at ...
