Album  : Steel Attack                  Label  : Lion Music

Description :

The Swedes from Zeelion come back after a longer
break with their second album, so let's have a
look at it. They stay loyal to their heavy/power
metal, which earned them comparisons to Yngwie
Malmsteen and similar bands.

I have to say, that the beginning of the album
rather bored me. There's nothing to complain
about the musicianship and the singer also
counts as the better one, but overally I
couldn't get into the music, find something that
kicks. First three tracks I consider as quite
ordinary heavy metal songs as well as fourth
middle-paced Shadows.

The fifth song King Of All Kings starts up in a
similar manner as the previous tracks and seems
like it's gonna be the same, but as the catchy,
juicy-riff-driven chorus starts, it's clear that
this will not be the case. The best song on the
album and a great song at all. Kingdom Of Dreams
brings a faster pace and even though it's not as
good as KoAK, it's still better than the first
half of the album. Stars Of Avalon is quite an
interesting ballad, but I've heard better ones
:-) My second favourite song on the album is
Black Hearted Woman. At times it sounds to me
like Queensryche playing hard rock... riffing
and vocals are flawless. The ballad Winds Of
Time finishes up the album. If it weren't there,
I wouldn't complain, it doesn't amaze nor
bothers.

So we have a fair heavy metal album which lacks
more songs like King Of All Kings or Black
Hearted Woman to leave the
a-bit-better-than-average pigeonhole.
