REVIEW |
|
Nicht zu unrecht wurde dieses Album zur damaligen Zeit von allen Seiten mit Lobeshymnen bedacht. In der Tradition von musikalisch ähnlich gelagerten Bands wie QUEENSRYCHE, QUIET ROOM, DIGITAL RUIN oder auch FATES WARNING, haben AUDITORY IMAGERY mit „Reign“ einen opulenten Happen eingezimmert. Beeindruckend die Mischung aus hymnischen Melodien, gitarrenbetonter Härte und komplexen, jedoch leicht nachvollziehbaren Aufbauten sowie die virtuos dargebotenen Gesangsharmonien. Ein Leckerbissen, dem sich Fans obiger Bands absolut nicht entziehen sollten. Die Zweitauflage (11 Tracks) ist noch relativ leicht erhältlich, die Erstauflage (5 Tracks) taucht so gut wie gar nicht mehr auf. Also Augen auf… (Charly Kogler / 2008) |

Not too wrong this album was roofed at the past by all sides with praise hymns. In the tradition of musically similarly bands like QUEENSRYCHE, QUIET ROOM, DIGITAL RUIN or also FATES WARNING, … AUDITORY IMAGERY released with „Reign “ an opulent mouthful. Impressively the mixture of hymnal melodies, guitar-stressed hardness and complicated, nevertheless slightly understandable constructions as well as the virtuosic presented vocals. A tidbit for all fans from the bands above. The second edition (11 tracks) is still relatively slightly available, the first edition (5 tracks) appears no more. So keep your eyes open … (Charly Kogler / 2008) |
