Album:
After the band from Göppingen were able to stir up quite a stir with their self-titled debut album a good three years ago and especially with their subsequent live performances in the traditional metal underground, it is almost a little surprising that their second self-released album is also being released these days. Are various label scouts sitting on their ears? Well, it doesn't matter, because of course a self-made band can also find its way to its fans if it is committed and delivers good work. With FIREPHOENIX, the signs are pointing to a storm in every respect.The artwork by Kevin Zora with the Phoenix as the band mascot may be brightly coloured, but it is also beautiful and atmospheric and therefore undoubtedly a real eye-catcher for the second album ‘Science Fiction’, which was produced by Michelle Darkness at Darklandcity Studios. The opening already anticipates that they are serious about the sci-fi mood, as the piano intro, which slowly grows into an atmospheric synth-space suite, immediately sets the right tone. Subsequently, however, heavy metal reigns unquestionably and in a form that can be located right at the intersection of the bisectors of the triangle between power metal, melodic metal and speed metal.This puts the Swabians in the best of company, because where the speed attack ‘The Drifter’ is discreetly reminiscent of the oeuvre of early works by RUNNING WILD or HELLOWEEN, the more nineties-inspired ‘Junky’ features more concise power metal notes with a little more emphasis on heaviness and slightly distorted vocals from André Grabner, who otherwise favours the clear but by no means soft-spoken version and is an excellent, versatile metal shouter. For BRAINSTORM fans, it's certainly worth a listen, as is the great title track later on. Here and there, Nick Berger's always great lead guitars also contain references to great role models from the NWoBHM, which gives ‘Tales Of Suspense’, for example, a very subtle Celtic-folk touch in the melody, as we also find in THIN LIZZY and DIAMOND HEAD or - influenced by the latter - in the early work of METALLICA. Wild lead guitar fireworks and furious, doubled lead melodies from Nick and André can also be found in the expansive instrumental ‘Running Low On Battery’ and in all sorts of other places on the disc.Although it should already be clear here that FIREPHOENIX is coming around the corner with a really solid level of metallic heaviness, there is also something on offer for fans of softer tones, namely in the final power ballad ‘Torn Between The Good And The Bad’, which is particularly pleasing due to its beautiful, dynamic and dramatic structure. As the album sounds very good overall, there is little to criticise and much to praise. Only the bass hooks here and there - especially on the ballad - I would have liked to hear a bit more distinctive in the mix. But that's complaining at the very highest level, which is clearly put into perspective by the cool bass intro and the later licks to ‘Up On A Stage (In A Teenage Rage)’, which is like a much harder rocking and heavier version of late seventies heroics from THE SWEET or KISS.As you can see, if you like your metal fast, melodic and catchy and feel comfortable with good old melodic speed metal of the Teutonic school, then FIREPHOENIX is the right choice and you should definitely give the band a chance.
