Album:
If you’re an old-school Metal fan and the name LETHAL X rings familiar, then it has served its purpose. Comprised by former RACER X members Jeff Martin (BADLANDS, SURGICAL STEEL, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP) on vocals and Harry Gschösser on drums, with Mike Szuter on bass and Milan Polak on guitar completing the lineup, LETHAL X’s name is an obvious nod to their ’80s heavy metal history. On a guest role, the album features former RACER X and MR. BIG guitarist Paul Gilbert and bassist Billy Sheehan (also of MR. BIG fame).To be released by Metallic Blue Records next January 17th, LETHAL X’s debut album “90 Tons of Thunder” carries a healthy dose of nostalgia, as is also evident by the presence of the 1986 LP ‘Street Lethal’ cover in the rear view mirror of the speeding vehicle in the “90 tons” cover art.However, this nostalgia doesn’t translate in the band trying to sound retro. Classic Hard N’ Heavy is what you get, but it is approached with fresh energy and modern production. Strong, upbeat tracks like the album’s namesake and opener “90 Tons of Thunder”, as well as “Dancing with Shadows” and “Chasing the Flaw”, deliver on that powerful vibe.That is not to say, however, that the record doesn’t have its melodic midpaced moments. Songs like “Dead by Sunday” and “God, Guts, Faith and Glory”, are on the slower side, but they definitely don’t sag. Instead, they add some variety to the band’s sound and their placement in the album enhances the listener’s experience.In both cases, on tracks fast and slow, and to no one’s surprise, Jeff Martin’s vocals pass with flying colors.“90 Tons of Thunder” is classic U.S. Metal, played in the 21st century. It is musically directed at the traditional fan of the genre, but without the intentionally vintage aesthetic used by many newer bands. These guys lived the old school days and, instead of trying to copy them, this feels like their next step forward.
