CHOSEN
"Resolution" (Self-released; 2013)
Reviewed by Snidermann
"I like my music like I like my life,
everything louder than everything else." - Meat Loaf on "Bat from Out Of
Hell II: Back Into Hell"
Leave it to two of the greatest sages of our age, Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, to
give me a phrase that puts into perfect perspective what I feel about Chosen and
their recording "Resolution."
"Resolution" ranges from fast, loud and explosive to blistering and bombastic and it all comes together to make a truly exciting heavy metal recording. Sometimes the vocals are hard to understand, but they still fit, and that does not change the fact that "Resolution" is a killer heavy metal recording.
Another thing that makes Chosen a truly awesome band is the fact that they are a duo. That's right - all that angst and metal is all created by two people. This Irish duo, David McCann and Paul Shields, put together a truly spectacular musical experience.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
