CRYSTAL CLEAR „Payback Time”

The only thing I can really say about this CD is have heard it all before. I really don't want to say anything bad about this disc but there is just nothing that grabs me here. I will have to say that this band does a great job of keeping old school metal that was played in the early eighties alive. You can hear elements of IRON MAIDEN, DIO, GRIM REAPER, and WARLORD here which is not bad at all. The band consists of Ignatiadis Panagiotis (guitar), Liapis Antonis (guitar), Anestis Chris (bass), Moros Lefteris (drums), Sakelliou Panagiotis (vox) and they hail from Athens Greece. The band was formed in 91 then split in 96 thru 99 when they reformed. The music on this disc brings me memories of GRIM REAPER and WARLOCK of the early eighties and that is the farthest it takes me. The vocals on the disc are flat and boring with nothing to offer. I really cant say this is a bad CD but if I wanted to hear music like this I would just pull out all my old CD's from when I was in school and listen to the bands that created this sound. Nothing here to go nuts over but if you like the Early eighties metal sound then this disc is right up your alley.
